Job description

Growth Marketing Executive | Early-stage, VC-backed startup | £45k

We're working with an ambitious, early-stage company that’s building something genuinely category-defining, backed by some of Europe's most respected investors, and growing fast. They're looking for a Growth Marketing Executive to drive growth for a brand new product as it rolls out into a new territory, working directly alongside the person who built the marketing function from scratch.

This is a role where what you do actually moves the needle, where your ideas get heard, and where you'll be trusted with real ownership from day one, owning growth for a product entering a market with little existing competition.

What you'll be doing

This is a campaign execution role at heart, so day to day you'll be genuinely hands-on with SEO and AEO strategy, LinkedIn and Google Ads, CRM, social and content, working closely with the Marketing Lead to test, learn and build out a repeatable growth engine for this new audience and market from the ground up. You'll get real exposure to commercial thinking and pipeline too, not just channel execution.

Who we're looking for

This is less fixed on ticking every box and more about how you think and operate. That said, here's roughly the shape:

• Around 2 years' experience in a fast-moving or startup/scale-up environment (we know that can look different for different people, so don't rule yourself out if you're close but not exact)
• Comfortable across a broad marketing skill set, particularly SEO, paid channels (LinkedIn and Google Ads), CRM and content, with a genuine interest in the data and technical side of things
• The kind of person who spots something that could be better and just fixes it, without waiting to be asked
• Someone analytically minded, open to diving into data to see what's working and what isn't to continuously improve and optimise campaigns and apply learnings to the next one
• Genuinely eager to get stuck in, someone who wants to learn fast, take on more, and build in a growing/scaling environment
• Strong communication skills, as this is a role where you might be briefing an agency one day and sat across from a journalist or the CEO the next. Confidence, curiosity and a proactive, "I’ll figure it out" attitude work well here.

This will suit you if

• You get genuine satisfaction from spotting what's broken or missing and just sorting it, rather than waiting for someone to hand you a task
• You want ownership early in your career, not a seat at the back of a big team
• You're excited by the idea of growing into a more senior marketing role as the company scales, and want a company that will actually invest in that
• You like variety, one day might be SEO and ad performance, the next could be content, agency liaison, or CRM

This may not suit if

• You don't have any formal marketing work experience // if this is your first marketing role after graduating
• You're looking for a clearly defined, single-channel specialism rather than broad ownership
• You’d rather work within an established playbook than help build one from scratch
• Full remote working is a dealbreaker for you (this one’s in-office 3 days a week)
• You prefer a larger team structure with more layers of support around you

What's in it for you?

• Genuine ownership and autonomy from the start, building growth for a brand new product and market from scratch
• A small team means visibility, your work won't get lost, and neither will you
• Real progression on the table as the company scales post-Series A
• Backed by top-tier early-stage investors with strong existing traction
• Salary: ~£40-45,000, potential flex for the right candidate
• Strong wider package: your birthday off, private health insurance, etc.
• 3 days a week in the office
