Marketing Manager

Since their inception over 20 years ago this British owned family company boasts a national and international reputation for product excellence and staff retention and they’re now looking to add a Marketing Manager to their growing marketing team.

Based in modern and purpose-built office space, the company is very much built on people, and each individual makes a unique contribution to the business and its customers. They’re a significant force in their given sector and have an excellent track record of listening to what our customers need and providing the right solution every time.

The role:

Reporting to the Group Marketing Manager you’ll be joining a marketing team of 6 which provides all the marketing and design requirements for the group of companies. You’ll oversee the daily function of the marketing team, working closely with the design team and it’s a really fast-paced, truly hands on role which will give you the opportunity to experience all components of the marketing mix as well as being given the opportunity to expand on your experience and add value to your continuing development. The role will eventually involve line-management of 1 or 2 team members, but this won’t be immediately.

The company is a specialist within the electrical industry and their marketing is directed to both b2b and b2c audiences, so you will be involved with planning, executing and measuring the effectiveness of marketing activity and campaigns across the full marketing mix. You’ll work with the digital specialists to create content and you’ll build new and existing relationships with the leading trade press. You’ll be involved with the planning of product launches, alongside the product development team ensuring campaigns are relevant and on time.

You’ll plan and attend trade and corporate events including exhibitions and awards ceremonies as well as overseeing advertising schedules, writing and editing website copy, press release, brochures, adverts, POS and content for social media!

What we’re looking for:

To be considered for this role, you’ll hold either a relevant degree or CIM qualifications and you’ll also have some experience of managing people and their workloads, and you’ll probably have 3-4 years of experience under your belt. Experience of working within a business which targets both b2b and b2c would be really useful and any experience of the electrical industry would be absolutely amazing! Whilst there is a specialist digital team, we do need candidates who have an understanding of the full marketing mx including digital - you might not be handling all those digital elements on a day to day basis, but you do need to understand how everything marries together.

What’s on Offer?

This is a company which has an incredibly low staff turnover and really does go out of their way to make their work environment the nicest it could possible be. They offer lots of training and development to ensure you reach your full potential. Salary for the role is £40-42,000 with lots of benefits and a decent holiday allowance. The role is fully office based.
