Marketing Manager Bristol, England
Job description
Does the prospect of running marketing activity in a fantastic marketing team within a globally renowned, award-winning digital company excite you? If so then you might be the Marketing Manager we are looking for!
We're looking for an experienced Marketing Manager who will bring enthusiasm and energy to driving our campaigns, lead gen, and brand building activity – so that we can continue to grow our profile as a market leader in L&D, bringing 'Unforgettable Learning' to life across global multi-national organisations.
The role…
Reporting to the Head of Growth, you'll take responsibility for the implementation of marketing tactics with a focus on a variety of commercial sectors. Your experience in a B2B marketing capacity will help you contribute to deriving tactical marketing plans from our marketing communications strategy, and then keep our talented marketing team on track to deliver against these plans with exceptional digital content, brand, and general marketing. Your knowledge in each of these areas will enable you to lead and track the success of our marketing tactics, and your project management skills and attention to detail will ensure that we are always presenting the organisation at the highest possible standard – a standard that suits the Fortune 500 companies we work with and seek to attract.
We're focused on leading the pack in Learning and Development and whilst we already have a great reputation globally, it's important for us to reassert our position in the marketplace consistently across digital channels, event marketing, content marketing, and on the awards circuit.
Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential. Events – both digital and in person – will be an important area for delivery as we showcase our offering throughout the year at some of the biggest in our industry. This role suits someone with ambition and confidence, who wants to take ownership of the tactical marketing activity within our team and be very hands on in the day-to-day running of all things marketing.
Who we are…
We're a world leading, digital learning and edtech business, designing and delivering training solutions for global brands across multiple sectors and industries including pharmaceutical, technology, finance, retail, manufacturing and professional services. Our exciting client list includes some of the worlds' largest brands – AstraZeneca, Coca-Cola, GSK, IKEA, Tesco, and Royal Mail, to name but a few. We're growing fast, with strong financial backing, and we're focused on leading the pack in Learning & Development, bringing together a heritage of creativity and technology, and applying the latest thinking in learning science to deliver truly effective digital learning.
We're looking for someone who can:
- Support the Head of Growth with the creation, implementation and delivery of marketing strategies.
- Create and manage end-to-end delivery of campaigns that effectively communicate the benefits of our products and services to potential customers.
- Plan and deliver live and digital events including managing our presence at industry conferences.
- Oversee the production of sales collateral and marketing campaign content.
- Develop multi-channel communication and campaign plans across Social, Email, SEO, Website Content and PPC.
- Report on campaign metrics in line with KPIs and business targets
- Manage our social channels, media, and PR to put consistent, relevant messaging about our products and company into the marketplace.
- Take ownership of budgets for campaigns and projects.
- Manage internal communications with the UK sales team and other key stakeholders.
The ideal candidate would have;
- Approx 5 years' experience in a B2B marketing manager role
- A track record of end-to-end B2B marketing campaigns reporting on metrics with commercial outcomes.
- Experience leveraging a Martech stack and tools to benefit from automation and streamlined processes.
- Excellent written communication skills
- A positive, creative, and confident approach to work
- The ability to remain calm and deliver consistency under pressure.
If this sounds like you...You'll join a forward-thinking company that has the vibrancy of a fast-growing, creative tech company as well as naming among their clients some of the biggest brands in the world. You'll find an environment that focuses on success and growing our people; and a team of exceptionally talented individuals taking on ambitious challenges with a determined attitude, working in a supportive and creative environment.

Location
Our new headquarters is in the Bristol area (The Paintworks). We offer a mix of home and office working because we believe both are necessary for a high performing team. We know you need some time to concentrate and avoid constant commuting, so homeworking is essential, but we also feel face-to-face time is important too.
We work in a Hybrid way with ideally 2/3 days per week in the office and the rest of the week worked remotely. We offer flexible working options also to help find the right work-life balance for you.
We currently have main offices in the UK in Bristol, Plymouth, Glasgow, and in Europe in Berlin and Brussels.
Be you, with us!
