You’ll combine creative flair with analytical insight to build campaigns that inspire, engage, and deliver measurable results.
About the Role
As Head of Marketing, you’ll take ownership of brand growth, audience development, and lead generation across a diverse range of event and digital platforms. Reporting to the senior leadership team, you’ll define and deliver marketing strategies that elevate brand presence, grow delegate and sponsorship revenues, and drive community engagement. You’ll oversee a small, agile team and work closely with content, commercial, and operations colleagues to bring bold ideas to life. From shaping messaging and creative direction to implementing data-driven marketing plans, this is a hands‑on role for a leader who thrives in fast‑paced, collaborative environments.
