Head of Marketing and Comms
Northamptonshire
6-month fixed-term contract
Are you a visionary Marketing & Communications leader ready to have a significant impact from day one?
We're seeking an exceptional Head of Marketing and Communications to join our client's team on a 6-month fixed-term contract! This is a rare opportunity to shape our future, as you'll be starting with a near blank page, meaning every strategic step you take will be a positive one in the right direction. They already have exciting calendar events planned for the next six months that you'll be instrumental in supporting and leading.
Reporting directly to a key leader in the Sales Department, you'll be at the forefront of shaping and driving a comprehensive marketing strategy across their primary business. This role is about more than just marketing; it's about creating an environment where everyone can be at their best through effective communication with their people and the external labour market. You'll also work closely with a related marketing lead and develop relationships with a partner food group.
What you'll be doing:
* Lay the foundations of the marketing strategy: Develop and lead our marketing approach for our primary business, working closely with the MD and Sales Director. You'll design the framework strategies, manage campaigns with clear ROI targets, and provide crucial competitor and market insights.
* Driving Internal & External Communications: Shape and execute a communications plan that engages their current and future workforce across the primary business, a related company, and a partner food group. This includes promoting them as a great workplace, leading direct communication to our people (town halls, digital messages), and supporting communications during periods of change.
* Brand & Engagement: Support and lead the brand at external events and engage stakeholders in delivering activities ranging from business strategy awareness to staff recognition programs.
We're looking for someone who is:
* Organised, purposeful, and a planner who delivers to deadlines.
* An engaging and confident collaborator with key stakeholders.
* Adept at emotional intelligence, tailoring messages for diverse audiences.
You'll ideally have:
* Proven examples of creating marketing strategies integrated with sales growth targets.
* Demonstrable ROI for campaigns.
* Experience leading a marketing team in both B2B and B2C industries.
* A track record of positive impact from communications strategies for existing employees and external talent attraction.
This is a phenomenal opportunity to genuinely shape our future and make a lasting impact. If you're ready to embrace this challenge and help develop the brand into an exciting new chapter, we encourage you to apply!
