Our national presence and strong internal resources allow us to manage complex, high-profile engagements and deliver meaningful outcomes for businesses and stakeholders.

We are proud of our scale, but even more proud of our people. At SV Partners, you’ll be part of a team that values your development, encourages your ideas, and supports your growth. You’ll work alongside experienced practitioners, managers, and mentors who are committed to helping you build a rewarding career.

Our work is dynamic and intellectually challenging which sits at the intersection of law, finance, and strategy. It offers exposure to real businesses, complex problems, and high-stakes decision-making. If you're curious about how companies operate, what drives financial performance, and how businesses recover from distress, this is a career path that will keep you engaged and constantly learning.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact, learn from industry leaders, and grow in a supportive environment, SV Partners is the place to start.

Your new role:

SV Partners is seeking an experienced, commercially focused Head of Marketing to lead our national marketing function and deliver measurable growth, brand, and client engagement outcomes.

Reporting to the Managing Director and joining the Executive Leadership Team, you will work closely with Directors, regional leaders, and the Business Development team to identify market opportunities, execute marketing plans, and strengthen SV Partners’ market position. This is a hands‑on leadership role combining strategy with disciplined execution.

You’ll be developing and delivering marketing initiatives that support business growth, identifying new market opportunities, analysing performance data, strengthening referral relationships, and ensuring marketing activity remains effective, measurable, and aligned with business priorities.

You will provide meaningful commercial insights to leaders by analysing referral networks, client activity, campaign performance, and regional trends to identify opportunities for growth and improved engagement.

Key Responsibilities will include:

• Strategic marketing leadership: develop and execute the national marketing strategy to support growth, market positioning, and brand strength.
• Lead generation and revenue growth: deliver targeted campaigns and referral initiatives that create opportunities and support business development.
• Digital marketing and content performance: oversee digital channels, content, campaigns, and continuous improvement.
• Communications, profile and market engagement: lead external communications, events, sponsorships, public relations, and thought leadership.
• Client experience, insights and market intelligence: turn client, referrer, and market insights into actionable recommendations.
• Marketing operations, governance, and budget management: maintain effective processes, reporting, supplier oversight, and budget discipline.
• Team leadership and capability development: lead, coach, and develop the marketing team to deliver high‑quality outcomes.

About You:

You are a proactive, commercially minded marketing professional who combines strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery. You use data and insight to challenge conventional thinking, influence senior stakeholders and achieve outcomes in a collaborative, fast‑paced environment.

You enjoy working closely with stakeholders, challenge conventional thinking, and bring fresh ideas backed by data and insight. Most importantly, you’re comfortable operating within a collaborative, fast‑paced environment where adaptability and initiative are highly valued.

Your skills and experience:

A tertiary qualification in marketing, business, communications or a related discipline.

10+ years’ marketing experience, including leadership of a small team.

Proven success developing and executing marketing strategies aligned to business growth.

Experience in professional services, financial services, or another regulated or relationship‑driven environment.

Demonstrated ability to leverage emerging technologies to enhance marketing effectiveness, improve efficiency, and support data‑driven decision‑making.

Strong capability across business development support, CRM platforms, digital marketing, brand, communications and campaigns.

Commercial acumen, including budget management, analytics, and return‑on‑investment focus.

Advanced stakeholder management skills and the ability to balance strategic leadership with hands‑on execution.

What we offer:

Competitive salary based on skills and experience.

Paid parental leave, birthday leave, and access to our Health and Wellbeing Program.

Work‑from‑home opportunities after probation.

A collaborative connected culture with an active social club.
