Marketing Manager

I’m partnering with an established B2B manufacturing business to recruit their new Marketing Manager. It’s a growing company with operations across the UK, Europe and the US, and clear plans to keep scaling over the next few years.

This is a new role that brings together two previous positions, so it suits someone who enjoys variety and likes rolling their sleeves up. You’ll report to the Head of Marketing and lead the marketing function day to day, giving direction to the team and working closely with sales. As the business expands, there’s a real opportunity to take on responsibility for its international markets and teams.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading and coordinating the marketing and design team, and keeping projects moving
• Planning and delivering B2B campaigns with lead generation at the heart of them
• Managing trade shows and events from start to finish
• Producing sales presentations and marketing collateral, often to tight turnarounds
• Looking after website content in-house and making informed decisions about SEO, PPC and web development support
• Running social media and reporting on performance using GA4
• Supporting the move to a new CRM and overseeing an online ordering portal

What they’re looking for

• Proven team leadership experience, with the confidence to give direction, support people and keep the team performing
• Hands-on, broad marketing experience. You’ll be doing the work, not just briefing agencies
• B2B experience is ideal, but they’re open to other sectors if your skills transfer
• A solid grasp of SEO, PPC and website development
• Confidence with Adobe Creative Suite (WordPress is a bonus)
• Someone who stays calm with competing priorities and quick deadlines
• An interest in AI and how it can improve marketing

CIM membership is a plus. If you’re not there yet, the business will fund your route to Chartered status.
