Marketing Manager
Hours: Mon - Thurs, Fri (Apply online only)
Salary: £45k - £50k
Start date: 2026
Location: On-site at 46 Marlborough Rd, Lancing Business Park, Lancing, West Sussex, BN15 8UF
Job type: Full time
Key Details
This is a fully on-site role based at our Lancing facility. Applicants must be versatile, organised and energised when discussing new ideas. Consider this if you are tired of agency red tape and layers of approval. Suits those looking to impact the broader business strategy.
The Company
Fine Cut Group is a family‑owned SME home to 6 distinct brands. Each brand requires its own unique personality and strategy. These brands are: Fine Cut, Dragonfly Rally, Attach A Tag, P&S Engraving, Orbit Print & Label Giant. Fine Cut operates under one roof with an eclectic mix of state‑of‑the‑art print, laser marking and engraving technology, all serving our core offering of “industrial graphics”. The company serves a range of industries from aerospace, medical and bespoke branded products to custom rally plates and personalised name tags.
We are now building an in‑house marketing function to match the ambition of the group.
The Role
This is a hands‑on Marketing Manager role with a clear brief: create and deploy purpose‑driven marketing campaigns, through the relevant channels, for each brand, and scale the marketing team around you as results grow. You will own the day‑to‑day marketing for all brands by planning, executing and measuring campaigns across digital and offline channels. You will also set the roadmap to help deliver the company’s long‑term vision.
Early on, the role will require a versatile individual to “wear all the hats” and know how to leverage the skills available in house, as well as the 3rd parties currently employed. Over time, the candidate would need to recruit and nurture a team to bring resources in house to deliver effective campaigns and meet the business goals.
Unlike many agency roles, you will have direct control of our 6 websites and the ability to implement changes quickly, without layers of client sign‑off.
