Job description

East Grinstead/London | Hybrid Working | £40,000 per annum | Permanent, Full-time

Are you an experienced Marketing Manager looking for an opportunity to take ownership, shape marketing strategy and make a real impact within a growing business?

We are recruiting a commercially minded, hands-on Marketing Manager to lead marketing activity across a successful and expanding professional services group. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with practical delivery, developing a brand, leading campaigns and managing a small marketing team.

Working closely with senior management, you will take responsibility for the marketing strategy, digital presence, brand development, content, campaigns and performance, helping to drive business growth and strengthen client engagement.

This is a varied role offering genuine ownership and the opportunity to influence how marketing develops across the wider group.

The role As Marketing Manager, you will take the lead in planning, coordinating and delivering marketing activity across multiple channels. You will also manage and develop an existing Marketing Executive, providing direction, support and guidance while remaining hands‑on with the delivery of key projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering a marketing strategy and annual marketing plan aligned with wider business objectives.
• Planning and managing multi-channel marketing campaigns across email, social media, digital advertising, websites and partner channels.
• Leading brand development, ensuring consistent messaging, tone of voice and visual identity across the group.
• Overseeing website content, SEO, search visibility and digital performance, identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Creating, writing and editing engaging marketing content, including website copy, blogs, newsletters, LinkedIn posts and email campaigns.
• Managing and developing the Marketing Executive, setting priorities, allocating workloads and supporting their professional development.
• Working closely with senior management, Sales and Account Management to support business development, client engagement and retention.
• Coordinating marketing events, exhibitions, roadshows and webinars.
• Managing external agencies, freelancers and suppliers, ensuring effective delivery and value for money.
• Monitoring campaign performance, website analytics and marketing activity, producing reports and recommendations.
• Managing marketing budgets, projects and competing deadlines.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Marketing Manager, Marketing Lead or similar senior marketing position.
• Experience developing and delivering marketing strategies and multi-channel campaigns.
• Previous experience managing, supervising or mentoring at least one team member.
• Strong digital marketing knowledge, including email marketing, social media, content marketing and website management.
• A good understanding of SEO, Google Analytics and digital campaign performance.
• Excellent copywriting, editing and proofreading skills.
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to understand how marketing supports business growth.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders, external agencies and suppliers.
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, practical approach.
• A marketing degree or professional qualification, such as CIM, would be advantageous but is not essential.
• Experience within professional services, financial services, legal services or another B2B environment would also be beneficial.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing group where you can genuinely shape the direction of marketing.

You’ll have the freedom to bring ideas forward, improve existing processes, develop the brand and introduce new initiatives, while working closely with senior management and developing an existing team member.

The successful person will enjoy having responsibility, making decisions and seeing the results of their work.

Salary and benefits

• Salary: £40,000 per annum.
• Full‑time, permanent position.
• 37 hours per week.
• Monday to Thursday, 9am–5.30pm; Friday, 9am–5pm.
• Hybrid working: three days in the office and two days working from home.
