Competitive Salary

Are you a strategic growth professional ready to shape the narrative of a fast-growing, independently owned agency? We are looking for a high-level specialist to bridge the gap between marketing and business development, delivering world-class events for global brands.

What’s Different About This Role?

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role that serves as the "connective tissue" between our Marketing and Business Development functions. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will transition fluidly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution. You will also mentor and lead two senior specialists—a PR Lead and a Partnerships Director—ensuring our brand positioning remains sharp and differentiated as we continue to scale.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven Experience: Likely 5–6 years in marketing, new business, or growth roles within a creative agency environment.
• Storytelling Expertise: An innate ability to transform complex project work into compelling narratives and case studies.
• Commercial Mindset: Experience managing pitch teams and navigating RFIs/RFPs to meet conversion targets.
• Technical Proficiency: Confidence using marketing technology, AI tools, and CRM systems to drive and measure activity.
• Sector Knowledge: While not mandatory, experience in the events industry is considered a significant advantage.

What You’ll Do:

• Growth Strategy: Define and lead the marketing strategy to elevate our positioning and optimize our leadership's public profile.
• Pitch Leadership: Collaborate on major pitch submissions and ensure we meet revenue and lead generation targets.
• Brand Guardianship: Act as the gatekeeper for our brand presence across owned, earned, and paid channels, including our website and marketing collateral.
• Data & Insights: Own all performance analytics, producing regular dashboards to identify trends, opportunities, and risks.
• Content Creation: Oversee research-led industry reports and PR activity to provide "always-on" content that generates high-quality leads.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Award-Winning Culture: Join a "Best Place to Work" recognized for our people-before-profit mindset.
• Modern Workspace: Based in a collaborative HQ in Wimbledon with a 4-day in-office pattern designed to foster creativity and shared ideas.
• Generous Leave: 27 days holiday, plus public holidays, your birthday off, a charity day, and an additional day for each year of service.
• Perks & Wellbeing: Payday early finish Fridays (3:00 PM), gym contributions, private healthcare (after 1 year), and various EV/Cycle-to-work schemes.
• Professional Investment: Access to heavy investment in development through our internal Academy and external coaching programs.

The Ideal Fit:

We value "growth without compromise." The ideal candidate is a self-motivated professional who takes ownership, solves problems willingly, and welcomes constructive feedback. You should be a collaborative leader who enjoys motivating specialists and can thrive in a fast-moving, high-standards environment where bringing people together is at the heart of everything we do.
