Head Of Marketing jobs in United Kingdom

This could be the job that defines your career.

We’re looking for a bold, imaginative brand + marketing leader who wants to build the next iconic UK social impact brand.

We’re the UK’s first, largest and fastest‑growing network for state‑educated people. Think of us as the alumni network state schoolers never got – community, connections, opportunities and a louder collective voice.

We’re a social enterprise with real scale ambitions on a mission to make state school pride the norm, not the exception. We’ve grown fast – and now it’s time to build a brand that grows even faster.

This is a head‑of‑function role with room to run and grow. You’ll shape how The 93% Club shows up in the world – visually, verbally, strategically and culturally – while driving the next phase of our growth.

The 93% Club has grown rapidly – income up 75% year‑on‑year for three consecutive years, student membership up over 100% year‑on‑year, and our professional network up 93% year‑on‑year since launching in 2023. In this role, you’ll be instrumental to building on that momentum, growing memberships, strengthening our community and ensuring our partners not only understand our impact but also know how to engage and work with us.

Most importantly, you’ll help drive the iconic #StateSchoolProud message by crafting our voice, designing big brand moments, and turning us into something instantly recognisable and impossible to ignore.

We want someone who can operate like a creative brand CMO in the making – inventive, data‑literate, audience‑obsessed and excited to experiment.

If you get things done, love moving fast, and thrive on building from the ground up, you’ll fly here.

• Own and evolve the 93% brand end‑to‑end : voice, visual identity, story, experience.
• Make our tone of voice unmissable : bold, human, culturally relevant.
• Lead brand campaigns that spark conversation and movement, not just metrics.
• Build and maintain guidelines that scale, without killing creativity.

• Set and execute our marketing strategy across students, professionals and partners, working closely with the Chief Exec to align with organisational priorities.
• Lead pipeline growth, membership acquisition & engagement.
• Build funnels, dashboards and data loops to generate insights and inform decisions.
• Turn insights into action – and actions into measurable outcomes to support scalable growth.

• Own content output across social (Instagram, LinkedIn), email and owned channels.
• Plan and deliver content rhythms, campaigns and storytelling moments.
• Commission and direct creatives (designers, videographers, agencies).
• Lead hero creative – films, brand campaigns, activations, digital stunts.

• Build marketing toolkits and co‑branded campaigns with our partners
• Create pitch‑worthy decks and sponsorship communications.
• Amplify partner collaboration in a way that grows reach, not compromises brand.

• Design member journeys that feel premium, useful, and full‑of‑heart.
• Drive retention, growth and value perception across students and professionals.
• Use data, behaviour patterns and feedback loops to iterate and improve.

• A creative thinker who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
• Excited by the blank space, hungry for responsibility, and ready to build something iconic
• Skilled at turning complex ideas into punchy, compelling narratives .
• Calm in chaos, agile in a fast‑moving environment, and magnetic in energy – bringing excitement to the team internally and the brand externally.
• Comfortable operating in an organisation and remit that’s evolving and growing fast.

We’re a small team with big ambitions, but we know that our perfect candidate can’t always be put into a box. Here’s our shopping list of who we think would fit the bill, but we still welcome conversations from interested people who might not fit every criteria.
