  • Build a strong social and digital presence that tells the brand’s story, builds community, and drives engagement;
  • Use data, automation, and CRM tools to deepen customer relationships and improve conversion and retention;
  • Set the creative direction for brand content, ensuring consistent quality and tone across every channel;
  • Oversee budgets, planning, and performance to ensure marketing activity drives measurable results;
  • Identify opportunities for partnerships, sponsorships, and collaborations that enhance visibility in key markets;
  • Champion experimentation and new thinking to keep the brand dynamic and ahead of the curve.
Experience and Skills:
  • A track record of 10+ years in senior marketing leadership roles, ideally within high-growth consumer brands;
  • Demonstrated ability to build, inspire, and lead multi-skilled teams in fast-paced, results-driven environments;
  • Deep understanding of digital marketing, brand strategy, and content-led growth;
  • Strong commercial mindset with proven experience turning creative ideas into measurable business results;
  • Confident communicator with the credibility to influence senior stakeholders and present at executive level;
  • Proficient with CRM platforms (HubSpot experience a plus) and creative software including Adobe Creative Suite.
Why Apply?
This is hugely successful and ambitious business, delivering year on year growth, and this is an  opportunity to shape the global brand direction of a respected, high-growth company. Strong collaborative culture with a focus on innovation and performance. Competitive salary and benefits.
