The role
This is a senior marketing leadership role with genuine responsibility and visibility across the business, combining strategic ownership with hands-on delivery.
As Head of Marketing, you will define and drive CMA’s marketing strategy while remaining closely involved in execution. Sitting on the Senior Management Team and reporting to the Managing Director, you will work in partnership with senior stakeholders to ensure marketing activity supports sector strategies, client acquisition, cross-sell and long-term growth.
You will take end-to-end ownership of marketing across the business — shaping brand positioning, driving digital performance, leading PR and thought leadership, and delivering a high-impact programme of in-person and online events. This includes evolving CMA’s digital and social presence, strengthening our market profile, and ensuring our proposition is clearly and consistently communicated to both clients and candidates.
Operating within a small, fast-paced organisation, this role requires a pragmatic, roll-up-your-sleeves approach. You will set priorities, work closely with third-party partners, define and track KPIs linked to lead generation and revenue, and ensure plans are executed effectively. You will also lead and support a Marketing Manager, balancing delegation with direct involvement where needed.
This role offers the opportunity to shape the future direction of a respected regional brand while staying close to the detail and making a visible commercial impact.
