Marketing Manager
Oxfordshire | Predominantly home-based with flexible working (must be able to commute to Oxford as needed) | Permanent, full-time
Salary: up to £55,000 DOE

The Company

Robert Half is proud to be working exclusively with Rock Management Services (Rock MS), based in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, to recruit a Marketing Manager to lead their marketing function.

Rock MS provides outsourced business support to organisations, predominantly within the legal sector, covering marketing, HR, IT, finance, practice management and compliance, so clients can stay lean and focused on their core business. Led by Managing Director Judy Matthews, Rock MS supports a portfolio of clients, most notably Reeds Solicitors, a top-tier UK law firm with 300 staff across 22 offices, and has also developed its own Case and Practice Management solution, Bedrock.

Rock MS's marketing services span website development, social media strategy, SEO, and legal directory submissions such as Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, helping clients strengthen their online presence and convert enquiries into clients.

The Role

We are looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Marketing Manager with strong technical knowledge of websites, SEO and digital marketing. This is a hands-on role for someone who can develop and execute marketing strategy while also understanding what happens under the bonnet of a website - comfortable working with developers, agencies and senior stakeholders, but equally happy in Google Search Console, GA4, CMS platforms and technical SEO audits.

It's a genuinely unique position: you'll lead marketing not just for Rock MS itself, but for a portfolio of its clients, predominantly within the legal sector, including Reeds Solicitors - wearing multiple hats across different brands, campaigns and priorities, which could suit someone with an agency background. You'll lead a small team, including a Content Marketer and Social Media Assistant, and work closely with consultants across the portfolio.

Responsibilities

Own the development and delivery of digital marketing strategy for Rock MS, Bedrock, Reeds Solicitors and other clients
Lead integrated marketing campaigns across digital and offline channels, managing budgets and demonstrating clear ROI
Identify opportunities to increase brand awareness, website traffic, leads and customer acquisition
Own website content, structure, navigation and user journeys from a marketing and performance perspective
Own SEO strategy and execution across the portfolio, including on-page optimisation, technical SEO, keyword research and content strategy
Monitor and report on SEO and digital performance using analytics tools, translating data into actionable recommendations
Work with developers on website improvements, using a working understanding of HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript to diagnose issues
Manage CMS platforms such as WordPress or Shopify, and conduct regular technical SEO audits
Optimise page titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking and content structure
Manage and develop a small team, and work closely with consultants supporting the wider function
Oversee email marketing campaigns, supplier relationships (PR, web design, PPC) and directory/award submissions
Maintain brand consistency across all marketing materials and client-facing output across multiple brands

About You

Proven experience in a marketing manager or senior marketing executive role, ideally within professional services, legal or a B2B environment
Organised and commercially focused, but also technically curious, analytical, proactive, hands-on and creative
Strong, hands-on SEO expertise, including technical SEO, on-page optimisation, keyword strategy and use of SEO tools, with a track record of improving organic performance
Confident working with data and digital analytics to measure and improve campaign and SEO performance
Experience managing multi-channel campaigns and email marketing via CRM or marketing automation tools
Good understanding of HTML and CSS
Excellent project management skills, confident managing external suppliers and senior stakeholders
A degree in marketing, business or a related field, or CIM qualification, or equivalent demonstrable experience

Desirable

Experience in legal sector marketing, including familiarity with Legal 500 or Chambers directory submissions
Experience mentoring or overseeing junior team members
Knowledge of paid media (PPC and paid social), and familiarity with design tools such as Canva or Adobe Creative Suite

In summary: a commercially driven Marketing Manager who understands websites deeply, knows SEO inside out, and can turn digital activity into measurable growth.

What's on Offer

Salary up to £55,000, depending on experience
Predominantly home-based working, with flexible schemes including compressed 4 day weeks, 9 day fortnights, TOIL and other hybrid options
Permanent, full-time role with genuine influence over marketing strategy, and a varied client portfolio spanning multiple brands within the legal sector
