Digital Marketing Manager
Salary: £55,000–£65,000
Location: Hybrid – minimum 3 days per week in-office
We are recruiting on behalf of a growing, family-run financial services business that is investing heavily in its in-house marketing capability. This is a newly created, permanent position for a Digital Marketing Manager ready to take full ownership of paid media, SEO, AI-driven strategy, and performance-based lead generation.
This is a strategic and hands-on role. You'll be responsible for significantly increasing high-quality lead volume across paid channels, organic search, and emerging digital platforms. The business currently generates around 600 leads per month, primarily via paid social — your role will be to maintain that volume, improve cost efficiency, and dramatically grow the share of leads from organic and owned media.
Key Responsibilities
This role combines strategy, execution, and performance management:
Own and scale paid media campaigns across Meta, Google Ads, and other performance platforms
Manage and optimise a paid media budget of £150,000–£250,000 annually (increasing over time)
Create, test, and iterate ad creatives, landing pages, and messaging
Design and execute a full SEO strategy (technical, on-page, and content-based) to drive organic growth
Improve website performance for lead generation (CRO, UX structure, SEO alignment with search intent)
Use AI tools daily for research, copy, analysis, testing, and efficiency
Ensure full tracking, attribution, and performance measurement is correctly set up and maintained
Work closely with directors to align marketing output with business goals
Initially work alongside existing agencies, with the expectation of bringing the function fully in-house within 6 months
About You
To be considered, you must have direct, hands-on experience in paid media and SEO. You’ll be confident managing budgets, optimising campaigns for lead generation and CPA, and taking full ownership of performance outcomes. Daily use of AI tools should already be part of your current role or workflow.
You should not apply if your experience is limited to social media posting, brand awareness campaigns, or agency coordination without direct campaign execution. This role is for a performance-driven Digital Marketing Manager ready to build, test, and grow results from the ground up.
Nice-to-Have (Not Essential)
Experience with CRO and landing page testing
Basic website or CMS management
Broader experience in email, analytics, or martech tools
How Success Will Be Measured
Success in this Digital Marketing Manager role will be measured by:
Increased total lead volume
A growing share of leads from organic and AI-discovery channels
Reduced reliance on agencies
Improved performance and cost control across paid channels
A scalable, in-house marketing function that can grow with the business
As results grow, the company will expand the team around you. Within 12–24 months, there is a real opportunity to lead a small internal marketing department.
Working Arrangement
This is a hybrid role. A minimum of 3 days per week in the office is mandatory, with up to 2 days working from home. Full remote is not an option.
