Marketing Manager

Do you love marketing that actually moves the needle? Ready to lead, not just execute? And genuinely excited by international travel opportunities?

About Our Client

Our client runs a portfolio of established B2B exhibitions across multiple regions, each with its own dedicated marketing team. It's a small, fast-moving SME with a collaborative and hard-working culture: minimal red tape, maximum ownership, and a genuinely strong, sociable team that's stuck around for years.

The Opportunity

They're looking for a Senior Marketing Manager to take the reins of one of their international portfolios, several established exhibitions spanning sectors including pharmaceuticals, beauty, automotive, and food & beverage, with more in the pipeline. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll guide a team of experienced marketing executives, roll your sleeves up on campaigns yourself, and take real commercial accountability for the results.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and directing marketing executives across an international show portfolio, stepping in hands-on where it counts
• Running campaigns yourself, this is an operator's role, not a delegate-only seat
• Driving event attendance and marketing-led sales growth, working closely with the sales team
• Shifting strategy dynamically to maximise attendance and repeat-attendee rates
• Bringing broad, 360-degree marketing experience, digital, print and strategic, to a growing portfolio
• Travelling internationally several times a year to deliver exhibitions in person, with scope for the travel footprint to expand further

What We're Looking For

• A genuine "doer and leader" - someone who can execute marketing tactics personally as well as manage a team
• Agency, digital marketing or SEO experience translates brilliantly into this kind of role
• SME or fast-paced environment experience, you thrive on change, quick pivots, and getting stuck in
• Commercially driven, accountable, and able to point to measurable ROI from your past work
• Genuine comfort with regular international travel, this is a non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have
• Based within a reasonable commute of the office (roughly 40 minutes/40 miles)

What's On Offer

• Bonus: 10% annual bonus, historically paid out every year
• Office pattern: 4 days in-office initially, reducing to 2 days a week after probation
• Culture: A close-knit, high-retention team with monthly socials and real recognition for great work
• Impact: Genuine ownership of a growing international portfolio, with the autonomy to shape how it grows

If you want a role where your work is visible, your ideas count, and international travel is part of the job, this is it.
