• Develop targeted messaging and content journeys for pharmaceutical/healthcare clients.
• Support the development of new partnership and revenue opportunities arising from DNUK's platform audience and data.

Strategic Leadership

• Develop and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy aligned with DNUK's growth objectives and the wider M3 Group strategy.
• Partner with the CEO and senior leadership to define go-to-market strategy and growth opportunities across both member and commercial audiences.
• Define KPIs and measurement frameworks, manage marketing budget allocation, and demonstrate ROI to internal stakeholders, including C-suite audiences.

Brand & Content

• Lead brand strategy, messaging and positioning across all channels, for both HCP members and commercial clients.
• Oversee content strategy and development, including thought-leadership content, case studies and multimedia assets, in collaboration with the Editorial team.

Events, Conferences & Webinars

• Develop an integrated events and webinar strategy aligned with both member engagement and client demand generation goals.
• Evaluate event and webinar performance and return on investment, optimising future strategy and investment.

Team Leadership

• Lead, manage and develop a high-performing, specialist marketing team.
