Marketing Manager

Location: London / Hybrid

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 per annum

Contract: Initial 12-month salaried contract, transitioning to permanent following successful completion

Hours: 40 hours per week

Are you a creative, commercially minded marketer who knows how to build a brand both online and on the ground?

We’re working with an ambitious and rapidly growing consumer-facing business that is looking for a Marketing Manager to help drive brand awareness, strengthen its presence across London and support its next stage of growth.

This is a genuinely hands-on marketing opportunity.

We’re not looking for someone who wants to spend their entire week behind a desk managing digital campaigns. We need someone who is just as comfortable getting out into different local areas, understanding the market, spotting opportunities and developing creative campaigns that put the brand in front of the right customers.

For someone ambitious, there is also significant scope to take increasing ownership of the marketing function and potentially progress into a Head of Marketing position as the business continues to grow.

The Role

Working closely with the senior leadership team and external marketing partners, you’ll help develop and deliver marketing activity across both online and offline channels.

A major focus will be brand awareness, local-area marketing and ground campaigns.

You’ll spend time understanding different London markets, customer demographics, competitors, local businesses and potential partnership opportunities, using that knowledge to develop marketing activity that generates awareness, enquiries and new customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering local-area and ground marketing campaigns
• Increasing brand awareness across key London locations
• Identifying creative opportunities to reach customers within individual local markets
• Developing relationships with local businesses, organisations and potential referral partners
• Identifying opportunities for local advertising, partnerships, events, promotions and community engagement
• Supporting marketing activity around new launches and business expansion
• Creating engaging content across digital and social media channels
• Planning and managing social media content and maintaining a consistent brand presence
• Developing creative campaigns across both online and offline channels
• Working with external marketing partners to review campaign performance
• Monitoring leads, traffic, conversion and customer acquisition
• Using marketing data and local market knowledge to provide clear commercial recommendations
• Monitoring competitor activity and identifying new marketing opportunities
• Helping shape the wider brand and marketing strategy as the business grows

About You

You could currently be a Marketing Executive, Senior Marketing Executive or Marketing Manager looking for an opportunity to take the next step and have genuine influence over a growing brand.

We’re looking for someone who can combine creativity with commercial awareness and who understands that successful marketing ultimately needs to generate customers and revenue.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Experience within a broad marketing, brand or consumer marketing role
• Strong experience in brand awareness and local-area marketing
• Confidence developing and delivering ground-level and offline marketing campaigns
• A good understanding of local markets and how to identify opportunities within them
• Experience developing partnerships, promotions, events or community-based marketing activity
• Strong content creation and social media experience
• A good understanding of digital marketing and campaign performance
• Confidence working with external agencies and marketing partners
• Strong written communication and storytelling skills
• The confidence to bring new ideas and challenge existing ways of doing things
• A commercial mindset with an understanding of customer acquisition and lead generation
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A genuinely hands-on approach and the flexibility to spend time across different London locations

Experience within a multi-site consumer-facing, property, hospitality, leisure, lifestyle or similar B2C environment could be advantageous, but specific industry experience is not essential.

The Opportunity

This isn't a narrow corporate marketing role.

You'll be joining a growing business where you'll have the opportunity to make your mark, introduce new ideas and take increasing ownership of marketing.

The role is initially offered as a 12-month salaried contract, transitioning into a permanent position following successful completion.

For the right individual, there is genuine longer-term potential to progress into a Head of Marketing role, helping build and shape the future marketing function as the business continues to expand.

If you're an ambitious marketer who enjoys getting out into the market, building brand awareness and turning creative ideas into commercial results, we'd love to hear from you.
