Looking for a role where you can truly take ownership of a marketing function and put your creative and commercial stamp on things?
We’re recruiting a Marketing Manager for a well-established and growing automotive business with an international footprint. If you're a B2B marketing all-rounder with strong campaign and content skills, this could be a great next step.
The Role
You’ll be the go-to person for all things marketing, leading and delivering the full mix – from strategy and campaign creation to content, events, and brand execution.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll work closely with sales, product, and leadership teams to build awareness, support product growth, and help drive the commercial strategy across Europe and North America.
You’ll also manage a talented in-house designer and work with external partners to execute projects that get results.
What You’ll Be Doing:
*
Leading the planning, creation, and execution of multi-channel campaigns (email, PR, print, digital, social)
*
Overseeing product launches, managing product lifecycles, and preparing sales performance data
*
Creating and managing the marketing budget and advertising plan
*
Crafting persuasive and informative copy across all formats – from brochures and emails to videos and social media
*
Managing social media channels (especially LinkedIn), ensuring brand consistency and engagement
*
Organising and attending trade exhibitions in Europe and North America
*
Monitoring competitor activity and delivering marketing insight to the wider business
*
Supporting brand development, packaging, and visual identity projects
*
Liaising with editors and media contacts to maximise press coverage
What’s in it for you?
*
£35,000 salary
*
Enhanced pension contributions
*
20 days holiday, increasing each year to 25 days + bank holidays
*
Autonomy to shape the marketing function and influence business direction
*
The chance to join a business with global reach, ambitious plans, and a genuinely supportive culture
What We’re Looking For:
*
Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar role – either as a Marketing Manager or a senior B2B marketing exec ready to step up
*
A solid understanding of B2B marketing with strong skills across digital, content, and brand
*
Great copywriting and communication skills – confident writing for email, web, PR, and print
*
Strong project management and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
*
Someone who can lead, but isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in
*
Experience organising exhibitions and managing agency relationships is a bonus
