We're looking for someone to lead the commercial engine behind Future's subscription growth.

The Growth Marketing Director is a senior hire who will run two cross-functional squads, oversee our digital performance marketing strategy, and build the systems that allow us to scale subscriber acquisition efficiently across our portfolio.

You will build on real momentum: strong brands, a scaled subscriber base, and meaningful investment already in place. The brief now is to sharpen, accelerate, and scale what works—commercially and operationally. Our brands are strong, our subscriber base is large, and the leadership support is in place. What we need now is a strategic operator who can bring sharper structure, better attribution, faster testing cycles, and stronger economics to how we grow.

This is one of the most commercially impactful roles in the business. The Growth Director will operate with broad influence—across brand, product, editorial, data, and finance—and will be trusted to lead the system that drives acquisition performance, not just the campaigns.

What You'll Be Doing

Subscriptions are a top-three strategic priority for Future. We're shifting from fragmented acquisition efforts to a unified, centre-led growth model: a repeatable system built on test-and-learn rigour, full-funnel optimisation, and measurable ROI.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Subscriptions, the Growth Director will;

Lead performance marketing across UK and US markets
Responsible for both Tier 1 brand acquisition and digital growth for Tier 2/3 brands
Be the growth marketing center of excellence—providing the infrastructure, playbooks, and insight to help brand teams scale acquisition, inprove customer journeys, and embed test-and-learn rigour
Drive CAC:LTV outcomes across the portfolio and report on revenue contribution, growth pacing, and forecast accuracy

Experience That Will Put You Ahead Of The Curve

Must-Have Experience

Senior digital growth/performance marketing leader in a scaled DTC, media, or subscription-led business
Ownership of large budgets (£5m+ annually) and clear track record improving CAC:LTV
Demonstrable experience leading cross-functional growth teams and working across data, creative, lifecycle, and product

Background in content, publishing, or brand portfolios
Exposure to US and UK consumer growth dynamics
Built or led a centre of excellence in marketing or growth
