Are you an ambitious, hands-on Marketing Manager looking for the opportunity to build and shape a marketing function from the ground up?

Our client is a growing and ambitious manufacturer supplying leading UK and international retailers with high-quality homeware products, while also developing and marketing its own portfolio of consumer brands.

This is a newly created standalone role offering significant autonomy, influence and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future success of the business.

Working closely with the senior leadership team, as well as Sales, Design and Product Development, you will play a key role in strengthening the company’s brand portfolio, driving customer engagement, supporting commercial growth and increasing brand awareness across both B2B and consumer channels.

• Represent the business at trade shows, exhibitions and industry events.
• Maintain marketing databases and CRM systems.
• Monitor campaign performance, analyse ROI and provide recommendations to optimise future marketing activity.

• A proactive, creative and entrepreneurial approach, with the confidence to work independently and drive initiatives forward.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary of circa 50,000, depending on experience.
• Performance-related bonus.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• The opportunity to build and lead the marketing function within a growing and entrepreneurial business.
• A varied and rewarding role with genuine scope to influence business strategy and support future growth.
