Senior Director of Marketing
Full Time
Manchester (M50 Hybrid)

Working with exciting brands across the entertainment and crypto markets, you'll be sitting on a Leadership Team who operate a shared services group to support a growing list of client ventures. You'll be responsible for building a bridge from the marketing centre of excellence into each of the many international markets and brands that their clients operate.

You'll be doing this via influence and indirect means (as each market has local autonomy to operate in their own way). This will mean partnering effectively with the regional marketing leaders and marketing vertical leaders to help the brands achieve their goals.

The Job...

Each International business unit has their own marketing team who report to the regional marketing leaders and these regional marketing leaders will report into you - thus your influence will be indirect in the sense you won't directly own the business unit marketing teams. You'll be an experienced senior marketing leader with previous success working in a matrix run business with an internationally complex structure of markets and teams.

You'll need to be able to design and grow a robust team of marketing leads equipped to support the entire client portfolio. Designing, building, managing and coaching a high-performing marketing leads team.

This isn't a flashy campaign development marketing role – it’s about the development of the marketing leaders and best-practices. In each country where the brand has a presence internationally, you'll be tasked with driving awareness and localising it across relevant cultural, operational, and commercial methods.

You'll be responsible for:

- Supporting the regional marketing leader’s development of annual marketing goals, strategies, and activities.
- Supporting the development of reports and presentations on marketing metrics for the cross- functional leadership teams.
- Assisting the teams with market analysis to identify challenges and opportunities for growth.
- Providing guidance and ideas to organise effective marketing initiatives.
- Developing the team to enable them to build and manage marketing budgets.
- Reinforcing the importance of defining and maintaining brand standards and ensuring compliance across all channels.
- Building long-term relationships with teams, partners, and stakeholders.
- Forecasting short and long-term hiring and outsourcing needs.

About You...

You'll be somebody who has extensive marketing experience and who, ideally, has previously managed marketing teams in different international locations and is comfortable working in this way, across multiple time zones.
 
Here's some of the key experience you'll need to demonstrate:

- 5+ years experience as a Marketing Director or higher-level related position, responsible for building and leading diverse teams of marketing and communications professionals.
- Strategic thinking and strong, hands-on experience in executing impactful marketing leadership.
- Substantial ecommerce experience combined with previous experience in a B2C digitally focused company.
