Marketing & PR Manager – The Cities
Maternity Cover | Until August 2026
Location: Manchester or Liverpool, with travel to other city sites. Hybrid working available.
Since 2006 we’ve been the UK’s home of ethically sourced, grass-fed beef, cooked over charcoal and paired with our award-winning wines and cocktails. We became B Corp certified in 2022 and are the only restaurant group to have featured in the Best Companies list for 13 years running, meaning we have some of the happiest people in the industry working here.
We’re now looking for a proactive, creative, and well-connected Marketing & PR Manager to join our team on a fixed-term contract, covering maternity leave until August 2026. This role focuses exclusively on our city restaurants outside of London – bringing the Hawksmoor experience to life in Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Dublin and beyond – and making sure our stories resonate with each city’s unique character.
You’ll be at the heart of local marketing and PR activity, from launching region-specific menu items and securing media coverage to building meaningful partnerships and hosting influencer events. Your work will ensure Hawksmoor’s city restaurants shine in the press, on social channels, and in the hearts of their communities.
If you have a strong network of media and influencer contacts in Manchester and Liverpool, thrive on juggling creative campaigns with practical delivery, and love working with brilliant teams, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll be doing
• Plan, manage and deliver unique menu products that reflect the personality of each city
• Host press and influencer events, get us involved in key city happenings, and ensure it all aligns with Hawksmoor’s brand and values
• Adapt our group-wide campaigns to feel authentic and relevant to each city audience, while supporting site-specific promotions
• Work with our PR agency, secure consistent media coverage, lead on award entries, and keep Hawksmoor in the headlines
• Identify and manage opportunities for print, digital and outdoor advertising across the cities
• Build influencer relationships, organise events and create buzz around new launches and campaigns
• Share marketing briefs, ensure restaurant teams have the tools they need, and work with designers to produce stand-out collateral
What we’re looking for
• Proven experience in marketing and PR, ideally in hospitality, food or lifestyle
• A strong network of Manchester and Liverpool media and influencer contacts
• A creative mind and a hands-on approach to delivery
• The ability to balance big-picture campaigns with local nuance
Benefits Include:
• Refer-a-friend bonus from day one
• Access to Wagestream to get your earned wages instantly
• Discounted health and fitness benefits
• Additional paid maternity and paternity leave
• Income protection insurance
• Free team meals on shift
