MARKETING MANAGER | WICKFORD, ESSEX CIRCA £40k | EXCELLENT PERSONAL BENEFITS
What’s the deal
At a time when many in the market are standing still, this family-run manufacturer is powering ahead. Turnover has more than doubled since we started working with them, driven by new products, five own brands and major investment across internal sales, field sales, and marketing.
Despite that growth, the business has kept everything that makes it special: exceptional people, down-to-earth leadership, quick decisions, and genuine trust. Now it needs a Marketing Manager to build on that momentum, raise the profile of its brands and play a key role in an exciting next chapter.
Your mission
• This is a hands-on role with room to think big. You'll set the direction, roll up your sleeves, and make sure great Ideas actually leave the whiteboard.
• Build and own a marketing plan that turns growth goals into campaigns people notice—and act on.
• Get close to customers, competitors, and market trends, turning insights into sharper positioning.
• Bring the brand to life across the website, social media, email, content, advertising, brochures, and sales tools.
• Plan and deliver launches, promotions, exhibitions, and trade campaigns from bright idea to brilliant execution.
• Work with sales, product teams, leaders, agencies, and suppliers so marketing is joined-up, useful and timely.
• Own the marketing calendar and budget, choosing the right channels instead of doing what’s always been done.
• Track numbers, leads, engagement, conversion, revenue, and ROI—and use them to improve the next campaign.
The kind of person we’re looking for
• Marketing Manager experience, ideally in B2B, manufacturing, high volume construction products.
• Equal parts strategist and doer: shaping plans, writing briefs, and stepping in when deadlines need rescuing.
• A confident communicator who inspires enthusiasm and keeps everyone moving together.
• Creative, commercially minded, and curious about what makes customers tick.
• Comfortable with digital tools, campaign data, and budgets—you don’t need to love spreadsheets but must understand them.
• Organised, proactive and low ego; comfortable with autonomy, collaboration and making a visible difference.
The Package
• Circa £40k basic but flexible dependent on experience
• 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
• Real autonomy, supportive leadership, and a role with genuine influence
Sound like your kind of move?
If you can turn a blank page into a campaign, a spreadsheet into a decision and 'we should probably market that' into something customers notice, we'd love to hear from you. This is your chance to shape the marketing function, make your mark and have some fun doing it.
