Associate Marketing Director

UNBELIEVABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RIGHT CREATIVE WITH A SHARP BUSINESS MIND

Associate Director, Marketing

London | Full-time

£70/80k+ depending on experience + annual KPI bonus up to c.£15/20k

We’re looking for someone who understands that great marketing is about more than making things look good.

This is an opportunity to take control of the brand, marketing and creative direction of one of the UK’s most highly regarded independent, design-led furniture consultancies.

The business already has the reputation, clients, projects and relationships. It works with some of the world’s leading architects, interior designers and organisations, delivering exceptional furniture projects across workplace, residential and emerging sectors.

What they need now is someone who can make sure the way the business presents itself is every bit as strong as the work it delivers.

THE ROLE

This is a senior, hands-on leadership position that combines creativity, brand thinking, commercial awareness, and people management.

You’ll lead an established marketing team and take ownership of the wider marketing strategy, brand positioning and external communications.

Website. Social. Photography. Editorial. Events. Partnerships. Project storytelling. Credentials. Tenders. Major client presentations.

You’ll have influence across all of it.

But this isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit above the work and delegate.

We’re looking for someone with ideas, opinions and the confidence to make decisions. Someone who can set the direction, inspire a team and then get involved in making it happen.

You’ll work closely with senior leadership to understand where the business is going and make sure marketing actively supports that journey.

You’ll sharpen the brand, improve how projects and people are communicated, develop stronger content and partnerships, oversee major pitches and credentials, and introduce meaningful KPIs so marketing activity has a clear commercial purpose.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Furniture industry experience would be useful, but it isn’t essential.

You could come from furniture, architecture, interiors, property, hospitality, fashion, a design-led product business, creative consultancy or another environment where aesthetics, culture, brand and commercial thinking genuinely matter.

What matters more is your judgement.

You’ll probably be someone who:

• Has significant experience across marketing, brand or communications and is ready for real ownership
• Has excellent visual judgement and a genuine interest in design, architecture, interiors, fashion, art or culture
• Thinks entrepreneurially and naturally spots ways a business could communicate, position or present itself better
• Understands the commercial side of marketing and can connect activity to wider business objectives
• Can lead, motivate, challenge and develop a team
• Is confident around senior leadership but equally comfortable getting involved in the detail
• Understands language, storytelling, tone of voice and what makes a brand feel distinctive
• Has strong opinions, good judgement and the confidence to use both

THE OPPORTUNITY

There aren’t many roles like this.

You’re joining an established and highly respected design business with exceptional clients, an enviable project portfolio and genuine credibility within the architecture and design community.

You’re not being brought in to fix a broken brand.

You’re being brought in to take something already very good and make it significantly better.

For a creative marketing leader who wants influence, autonomy and the opportunity to help shape how an established design business evolves over the coming years, this could be a very exciting next move.
