About the Opportunity
Our client is an ambitious, high-growth recruitment business with an established reputation in specialist markets and a clear vision for the future.

They are now looking for a commercially minded Marketing Manager to take ownership of their brand, marketing strategy and market presence. This is not a role for someone who simply follows a plan. They are looking for an ideas person, a challenger, someone who questions how things have always been done and brings fresh thinking that helps the business stand out in a crowded market.

The successful candidate will play a key role in elevating the brand, driving engagement across multiple audiences, and creating marketing activity that is memorable, impactful and commercially effective.

The Role
This is a hands-on marketing leadership role with responsibility for developing and executing innovative marketing initiatives that strengthen brand awareness, support business growth and enhance market positioning.

You'll have the freedom to test new ideas, challenge conventional recruitment marketing approaches and create campaigns that build genuine visibility and credibility amongst clients, candidates and industry influencers.
