ABOUT THE BUSINESS

A fast-growing service and investment group that supports brands across insurance, finance, property, and banking. The group provides centralised services in marketing, IT, compliance, HR, and finance, enabling its portfolio of businesses to scale quickly and effectively.

With a dynamic and acquisitive strategy, the business has a strong pipeline of new brands and acquisitions. This is a fast-paced environment where ambitious marketers can have a direct impact on group-wide strategy and performance.

THE TEAM

You’ll join a central Marketing function that works across multiple portfolio brands. The team includes in-house specialists in brand, design, and social, as well as external agencies and freelancers. Collaboration is key, and you’ll have the opportunity to shape campaigns from planning through to delivery and reporting.

At this level, you’ll be trusted as the performance marketing lead — balancing hands-on execution with strategic input and the potential to expand your remit across more brands as the role grows.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on Marketing Manager position, ideal for someone with an agency background who is confident running multiple projects and delivering measurable results. Initially, your focus will be on managing performance for one brand, with scope to expand across the wider portfolio.

Key responsibilities include:

Campaign Execution & Performance

• Plan and run SEO campaigns (keyword research, content planning, technical audits, performance monitoring).
• Manage PPC campaigns across Google, Bing, and LinkedIn — including budget setting, ad creation, optimisation, and reporting.
• Develop integrated campaigns spanning digital, social, email, and content.
• Monitor performance through tools such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Data Studio.

Brand & Creative Collaboration

• Work closely with in-house specialists (design, social, brand) to deliver high-quality campaigns.
• Provide creative input and contribute to brand positioning and strategy.
• Bring new ideas and energy to how brands show up in the market.

Project & Stakeholder Management

• Manage relationships with external agencies and freelancers (SEO, PPC, PR, design, development).
• Support final stages of a new website build, launch, and optimisation.
• Balance in-house vs outsourced work, recommending best approaches.
• Present campaign outcomes and growth opportunities to senior stakeholders.

Growth & Development

• Opportunity to take ownership of additional brands as the role evolves.
• Clear progression pathway towards a senior leadership/Head of Marketing position as the group expands.
• Exposure to varied sectors including insurance, finance, property, and fintech.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• Strong agency background with proven results in performance marketing.
• Hands-on expertise in both SEO and PPC.
• Confident managing multiple campaigns, stakeholders, and competing priorities.
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to analyse performance and generate actionable insights.
• Creative thinker who can bring fresh ideas to campaigns and brand positioning.
• Strong collaborator, comfortable working with both in-house teams and external suppliers.
• Flexible on years of experience — track record and impact are more important.

WHY APPLY?

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the performance marketing strategy for a multi-brand group.
• Take ownership of campaigns across PPC, SEO, and wider digital activity.
• Opportunity to grow into a Head of Marketing role as the group expands.
• Work across diverse industries with exposure to insurance, property, finance, and fintech.
• Join a dynamic, acquisitive business with ambitious growth plans.
