Marketing Communications Business Partner

12-month Fixed-Term Contract (Maternity Cover) | North East England (Sedgefield, Darlington, Wilton) | £43,108 - £50,000

About the Role:

We are seeking a Marketing Communications Business Partner to join our Marketing team on a 12-month maternity cover, supporting the delivery of campaign-driven marketing activity across our Materials business.

This is a highly varied, delivery-focused role where you will take ownership of multi-channel marketing campaigns, working closely with the Head of Marketing and wider business stakeholders. You will play a central role in executing established marketing plans, managing campaigns, and ensuring strong engagement across both digital and in-person channels.

With autumn being a peak period for events and conferences, this role requires someone who can step in quickly, take ownership, and deliver with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment.

Hybrid working is supported, with travel required across company sites and external events.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

Campaign Delivery & Execution

• Lead the delivery of integrated marketing campaigns aligned to business objectives
• Execute campaign activity across digital, inbound and outbound channels, including:
• Website content
• Social media
• Email and automation
• Work closely with content and communications teams to develop campaign assets
• Monitor performance and optimise campaigns through KPI tracking and reporting

Events & External Engagement

• Lead the planning and delivery of events, conferences, and exhibitions
• Develop event plans, agendas, and supporting materials in collaboration with internal teams
• Maximise commercial opportunities from events, including lead generation and follow-up strategies
• Support delivery of webinars and hosted events across CPI facilities

Stakeholder & Business Partnering

• Act as the Marketing Business Partner for the Materials side of the business
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to align campaigns with commercial objectives
• Provide best practice advice and guidance on marketing activity across teams

Project Management & Coordination

• Manage multiple campaigns and activities simultaneously across the marketing calendar
• Coordinate timelines, stakeholders, and outputs across a busy programme of work
• Ensure consistent delivery against agreed plans and deadlines
• Support the development of future campaign strategy toward the latter part of the contract
• Provide insights and recommendations based on campaign performance and market trends

About You:

You are an experienced marketing professional who enjoys working autonomously, delivering campaigns end-to-end, and engaging with stakeholders across a complex organisation.

You’ll bring:

• Strong experience in B2B marketing, ideally in a campaign-driven role
• Proven ability to manage and deliver multi-channel marketing campaigns
• Experience planning and delivering events, conferences, or exhibitions
• Strong project management and organisational skills
• Confidence working with stakeholders and operating independently

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working in technical, scientific, or sustainability-focused environments
• Familiarity with digital marketing tools, analytics, and automation platforms
• Experience working within matrix organisations or multi-site environments

This role requires someone who is:

• Able to manage competing priorities and deliver at pace
• Strong in both execution and relationship-building

Why Join?

• Work within a highly regarded and supportive marketing team
• Deliver impactful campaigns across sustainability-driven materials programmes
• High level of responsibility and ownership
• Exposure to both digital campaigns and high-profile industry events

Location & Working Pattern:

• Hybrid working (typically 2 days per week on-site)
• Travel required for events and conferences (UK-based)
• Full UK driving licence and access to a car required

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to step into a highly visible marketing role within a busy, well-established team — delivering real commercial impact while gaining exposure to multi-channel campaigns, events, and stakeholder-led marketing.
