Job description

We’re looking for a creative, commercial, and pub-loving Marketing Manager to join the Dodo team.

Dodo Pub Co is a fast-growing independent pub company, known for unbeatable vibes, top-notch food & drinks, and amazing people. At our core, we’re neighbourhood pubs serving products we’re 100% proud of, delivered by people who are 100% committed to what they do.

From the bar: You’ll find great beers, wines, and cocktails – all poured by passionate teams who care about quality and community.

From the kitchen: We serve authentic Neapolitan pizzas fired at 450°C, alongside tasty burgers, brunch, and sides that hit the spot.

We’re now looking for someone to take ownership of marketing that drives sales— boosting footfall, promoting events, building local partnerships, and making sure the Dodo brand shows up strong, loud, and proud across every channel.

This is a hybrid role with flexibility to work remotely, but it does require regular in-pub presence to make an impact where it matters most.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning and executing our marketing strategy to drive footfall, sales, and customer loyalty
• Leading our event and campaign calendar – from pub quizzes to street parties
• Creating local partnerships and promotions that bring in new trade
• Using tools like Airship, Toggle, Lightspeed, Wi-Fi Social, and Google Analytics to run data-led campaigns and report on ROI
• Planning email marketing, CRM campaigns, and loyalty funnels
• Working closely with our Social Media Manager, Area Managers, and GMs to ensure everything we do delivers commercial value
• Measuring campaign success with clear sales targets, conversion rates, and event profitability

What We’re Looking For

• A commercially minded marketer with hospitality or F&B experience
• Someone who knows how to turn brand and content into measurable sales
• Confident across CRM, email, paid social, events, PR, and digital
• Able to work autonomously and bring big ideas to life
• Happy to spend time in pubs regularly, not just behind a screen
• Comfortable managing a budget and reporting on ROI
• Collaborative, energetic, and always up for a pint and a plan

What We Offer

• £45,000 per annum
• Live-in accommodation available (Oxford, Reading, Newbury & Cheltenham)
• Relocation support - whether it’s finding a place or using one of our flats, we’ve got your back
• Food on shift
• Dine at Dodo – bring a mate once a month and we’ll cover your food
• Learning & Development programs
• Great work/life balance
• Christmas Day & Boxing Day off
• Annual team party
• A role with real autonomy, creativity, and commercial impact

Next Steps

1. Check us out on Instagram and our website to get a feel for the vibe.
2. Click apply and tell us a bit about yourself.
3. We’ll invite you for a coffee & chat, followed by a trial shift.
4. You’ll get a job offer within 48 hours.
5. Your first week will be spent with a Buddy Coach – plus pizza and pints, of course.

We can’t wait to meet you.

Let’s build something brilliant, together.
