• Establish and enforce consistent messaging across all channels—online platforms, in-store experiences, and communications.
• Build and manage a high-performing marketing team, fostering creativity, accountability, and collaboration.
• Develop performance metrics and track ROI to ensure continuous optimisation of marketing efforts.
• Partner with product, operations, and retail teams to support launches, promotions, and community initiatives.
• Spearhead market research and customer insights to inform targeting, segmentation, and positioning.
• Manage external agencies, partners, and budgets to deliver impactful, cost-effective campaigns.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in a senior marketing leadership role, ideally within a fast-paced, consumer-facing environment.
• Strong strategic thinking with the ability to translate vision into executable plans.
• Deep understanding of multichannel marketing, brand management, and customer engagement.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with a collaborative and hands-on approach.
• Experience in team building, mentorship, and fostering cross-functional alignment.
• Data-driven mindset with a strong grasp of marketing analytics, tools, and trends.
• Experience within the betting, gaming, or racing industry will be a strong advantage.
