It’s an exciting role with a real hands-on approach.
The role:
So as Marketing Manager, brand will be your focus and one of your first roles will be to evaluate what is currently in place and devise and execute a marketing strategy to support the positioning and messaging.

You’ll be responsible for leading and facilitating the global marketing activities for the UK, US and other key regions, managing and maintaining the brand image and identity across all external communications.

What we’re looking for:
We’re really looking for a marketer who has worked within the engineering or another heavily technical industry previously to a high level, someone who can demonstrate being the lead marketer within an organisation who also has budget skills but critically is also happy to implement their own strategy.
There will be a good amount of travel within the role, both within the UK and internationally and whilst this will always be planned it, you must be happy to travel. Strong copywriting and editing skills are essential as is experience of event management. Any element of working with global brands would also be a real advantage.
