Job description

Our Opportunity

Work Location: The Fortescue Building, The Boulevard, Kidlington OX5 1GB

Work Type: full time

Fortescue Zero is a global technology and engineering business with capability across electrification, battery intelligence, advanced engineering, motorsport, wind, solar and emerging applications. Our challenge is not capability. It is ensuring customers, partners and markets understand what we can do and turning that understanding into brand growth, customer demand and commercial opportunity.

This is a broad, high-impact role spanning brand, B2B product marketing, sales enablement, content, partnerships, motorsport, events and customer engagement. We are looking for someone who combines highly creative thinking with strong commercial judgement, exceptional stakeholder management and the ability to turn ideas into measurable business outcomes.

Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you will own the global marketing strategy and delivery for Fortescue Zero.

You will set the creative direction, establish clear priorities and bring the full marketing programme together through one connected plan. Working closely with Fortescue Zero’s leadership, commercial, product, sales and engineering teams, you will translate complex technical capability into clear propositions, compelling stories and customer-led marketing activity.

A key part of the role will be building and leading an agile in-house marketing model. You will mobilise Fortescue’s internal creative, content, digital, social, media and communications capability to deliver quickly and to a high standard. External agencies will be used selectively where specialist expertise adds value, with ownership of the marketing direction and delivery remaining within Fortescue.

You will also work closely with Fortescue’s Global Brand, Marketing and Communications teams to draw on central creative, digital, media, social and communications capability.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Fortescue Zero global marketing plan, priorities, investment, governance and performance reporting.
• Translate commercial and customer objectives across the portfolio into integrated marketing plans that build awareness, credibility, demand and revenue opportunity.
• Set the creative direction and quality standard for Fortescue Zero marketing activity.
• Build and lead an agile in-house marketing model across creative, content, digital, social, media and communications.
• Lead the Fortescue Zero brand plan, ensuring product brands strengthen the broader portfolio and align with the Fortescue master brand.
• Partner with product, commercial, sales and engineering leaders to develop positioning, propositions, go-to-market plans and sales enablement.
• Turn complex engineering, technology and product capability into clear customer stories, content and proof points.
• Lead the activation of motorsport, strategic partnerships and sponsorships to deliver brand and commercial value.
• Oversee major events, industry conferences, customer experiences, VIP hospitality and flagship activations.
• Work closely with sales and commercial teams to support customer engagement, opportunity development and growth.
• Coordinate internal Fortescue resources and specialist agencies through clear briefs, strong prioritisation and clear accountability for delivery.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and create alignment across leadership, product, commercial, sales, engineering and corporate teams.
• Own the marketing budget and establish clear measures of brand, customer and commercial impact.
• Bring recommendations and solutions, create momentum through ambiguity and adjust priorities quickly as business needs change.

Qualifications and Experience

• Significant senior marketing leadership experience in technology, automotive, motorsport, energy, industrial, engineering or another complex B2B environment.
• A proven track record of setting creative direction and leading multidisciplinary in-house marketing or creative teams.
• Experience building an agile internal delivery model across creative, content, digital, social, media and communications.
• Strong B2B product marketing experience, including customer insight, positioning, propositions, go-to-market planning and sales enablement.
• Demonstrated experience building brands and translating complex technical capability into compelling content, customer stories and proof points.
• Experience leading integrated partnerships, sponsorships, motorsport programmes, major events, hospitality or customer activations.
• Proven success influencing senior stakeholders and aligning product, commercial, sales, engineering and corporate teams around shared priorities.
• Experience leading teams, budgets, internal capability, agencies and multi-market marketing programmes.
• Strong commercial judgement, with the ability to connect marketing priorities to customer needs, business objectives and growth opportunities.
• A creative and customer-focused approach, with the confidence to develop distinctive ideas and the judgement to turn them into effective work.
• Strong planning, prioritisation, budget management and performance measurement capability.
• A university degree in marketing, business, communications or a relevant discipline, or equivalent senior professional experience.
• Confident, credible and comfortable challenging senior stakeholders constructively.
• Proactive, decisive and comfortable operating between strategy and execution in a fast-moving environment.
• High standards, sound judgement and the ability to remain calm and effective under pressure.
