Interim Marketing Manager
Contract / Part-time
East Cambridge | Hybrid | 2 days on site
Are you an experienced, generalist contract marketing looking for a fresh opportunity?
We’re working with a well-established, science-led technology business in the health and life sciences space that’s looking for an experienced marketing generalist to step in on an interim basis (6 months).
This is a hands-on role supporting a commercial team during a period of growth and change. It will suit someone who’s comfortable picking things up quickly, running with multiple workstreams, and keeping momentum going without a lot of hand-holding - you must have a self-start mentality and the confidence to succeed.
The role
You’ll act as the go-to person for day-to-day marketing activity, covering content, digital channels, website updates and events. It’s broad, practical, and delivery-focused rather than strategic theory.
Expect to work closely with sales, product and external suppliers, keeping everything moving while the wider marketing function evolves.
The day-to-day:
Content
1. Managing and producing B2B marketing content such as case studies, white papers, website copy and sales enablement materials
2. Making sure messaging is consistent, accurate and commercially useful
Social
3. Owning LinkedIn activity end-to-end
4. Building and managing a content calendar
5. Tracking engagement and performance
Website
6. Updating and maintaining website content
7. Working with an external web agency to get changes live quickly and correctly
Events
8. Managing a central calendar of conferences and events
9. Handling logistics, materials and coordination
10. Supporting webinars and other external-facing activity
Stakeholders
11. Acting as the main marketing contact for sales, business development and product
12. Managing agencies, freelancers and suppliers
13. Supporting onboarding of new marketing team members if needed
Ops
14. Handling inbound marketing requests
15. Keeping CRM and marketing activity records up to date
What you'll bring:
16. Solid B2B marketing experience (around 5+ years)
17. Strong understanding of long sales cycles and B2B funnels
18. Hands-on experience with HubSpot or similar CRM/automation tools
19. Confident updating websites using WordPress
20. Comfortable using Canva for social and basic design
21. Organised, self-directed and delivery-focused
22. Strong written communication
Sector experience is not a determining factor, however exposure to life sciences would be beneficial. If you’re a seasoned marketing generalist who enjoys stepping into fast-moving environments and keeping things running smoothly, this one’s worth a conversation.
