The Company
Alitex Ltd are award-winning, internationally renowned designers and manufacturers of the finest greenhouses in the world. From our original horticultural roots in the 1950s, we have since developed our flagship Thomas Messenger glasshouse, launched the National Trust Collection in 2004, built a flourishing overseas market, and proudly received the endorsement of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
At Alitex, we are passionate about everything that grows — from beautiful structures to brilliant people. We value craftsmanship, curiosity, and clarity in all that we do.
About the Role
You’ll lead the charge in aligning our commercial activity with our core retail strategy — from tailored audience targeting and evocative brand storytelling, to delivering an extraordinary and emotionally resonant customer journey. This is not just about pipeline management and marketing ROI — it’s about shaping how our brand is experienced by every customer, partner, and opinion leader.
You’ll work with a capable and committed team to translate goals into real-world action — and ensure our segment-specific personas are not just known but served with precision and flair.
Key Responsibilities

* Report performance and insight to the Board.
* Champion cross-functional collaboration to create a seamless and high-touch customer journey
* Lead and coach our UK Sales team and overseas agents to deliver against multi-million-pound targets.
* Own and drive pipeline performance, team development, margin focus and conversion improvements.
* Ensure sales strategy and outputs reflect the voice of the customer.
* Ensure 'Marketing across the Customer Journey' delivers the right message, at the right time, in the right way.
* Guide brand storytelling rooted in heritage, beauty, and craftsmanship.
* Use CRM and analytics to engage luxury customer segments.
* Lead endorsement and partnership strategies (e.g., National Trust, Kew).
* Deliver strategic, emotionally resonant events and campaigns
What We’re Looking For
* Experience with premium brands, ideally those with a heritage or lifestyle dimension.
* Strategic and operational fluency — can hold the commercial line and the creative vision in equal measure.
* Deep understanding of segmentation and customer archetypes.
* Adept at both performance marketing and emotive brand content.
* Strong team leadership and coaching experience.
* Excellent communicator with a high level of commercial acumen.
* Competitive salary depending on experience.
* Discretionary performance-based bonus.
* Company car (or allowance), laptop, and phone.
* Private medical insurance (if extended into a permanent role).
* Excellent development potential and a genuine opportunity to shape the future of Alitex.
