Job description

Hybrid - 1 day WFH

I am working with one of London's most exciting and fastest growing grab and go food brands to find a Head of Marketing to join the business on a 12 month contract mat cover.

This is a brand that has built a fantastic reputation, a loyal customer following and a strong presence across London. With new locations opening at pace and ambitious plans for continued growth, the business is entering a really exciting chapter.

We are looking for someone who can come in, take ownership of the marketing function and make a real commercial impact.

Working closely with the founders and senior leadership team, you will lead an established marketing team and play a key role in shaping how the business continues to grow across its stores, digital channels and delivery platforms.

This isn't a purely brand focused marketing role. We are looking for someone who understands the commercial side of marketing, knows how to drive customer growth and can turn great ideas into measurable results.

What you will be responsible for:

• Leading and developing a talented marketing team, creating a positive environment where people can do their best work
• Driving the marketing strategy and delivering campaigns that build awareness, attract new customers and encourage repeat visits
• Taking ownership of digital growth, with a particular focus on delivery platforms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats
• Identifying opportunities to grow revenue across digital channels, CRM, loyalty and customer engagement
• Overseeing the marketing calendar, partnerships and campaigns, ensuring everything is delivered to a high standard
• Working closely with the founders and wider leadership team to support the next stage of business growth
• Using data and commercial insights to understand what's working and where the biggest opportunities sit

Who we are looking for:

• You will be an experienced marketing leader with a strong commercial mindset and a genuine passion for growing consumer brands.
• Ideally, you will have experience within hospitality, QSR, food to go or a similar consumer facing business, where you've been involved in driving both marketing activity and commercial performance.
• Experience with delivery aggregators would be a huge advantage, as would a strong understanding of digital marketing, customer acquisition, CRM and loyalty.
• Just as importantly, we are looking for someone who enjoys leading people. You will be joining a great team that needs someone who can provide direction, support their development and keep things moving during an important year for the business.
• You will need to be comfortable in a fast growing, entrepreneurial environment where things move quickly, ideas are welcomed and you can see the impact of your work.

Why consider it?

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a genuinely exciting London food brand at a pivotal stage of its journey.

You will have real ownership, direct exposure to the founders and the chance to make a meaningful difference to a business with huge ambitions.
