This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role.
You’ll be stepping into a marketing function that’s central to how our client’s business performs - managing the engine that drives demand, launches, and revenue.
Everything is already in motion: campaigns, agencies, systems, reporting.
Your job is to own it, run it confidently, and keep it performing at a high level - while spotting opportunities to improve how we operate along the way.
You’ll work closely with the leadership team, agencies, and internal teams to make sure marketing is well-run, well-measured, and commercially effective.
What You’ll Own
Marketing Operations & Performance
You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day running of marketing - ensuring campaigns are delivered, tracked properly, and performing against expectations. This includes managing agency relationships, maintaining clear reporting, and making sure nothing slips.
Launch Delivery (Core to the Role)
Our launches are the heartbeat of the business. You’ll coordinate teams, timelines, and communications to ensure each one runs smoothly - and that we learn from every launch through clear, structured debriefs.
Reporting & Insight
You’ll turn data into something useful. That means producing clear, reliable reporting - but more importantly, highlighting what’s working, what isn’t, and where we can improve.
Budget & Commercial Control
You’ll own the marketing budget, ensuring spend is tracked, controlled, and aligned with performance.
Customer & Brand Experience
You’ll keep a close eye on how we show up - from reviews to communications - making sure the experience matches the standard we expect.
Team Support & Continuity
You’ll provide stability and direction for the marketing team during this period, keeping everyone aligned and moving forward.
