Description
The Head of Marketing will be responsible for shaping and executing the marketing strategy across both traditional and digital channels, driving global brand recognition and ensuring alignment with business objectives. You will collaborate with the Digital Marketing Manager to elevate the digital marketing strategy, improving web traffic, conversions, and online presence through channels like social media, SEO, PPC, and content marketing. At the same time, you’ll maintain the strength of traditional marketing methods, such as print, trade shows, exhibitions, and PR, to reinforce the Group’s reputation as a leading UK manufacturer in the grounds care sector. The role also includes overseeing brand awareness initiatives, developing international marketing strategies, monitoring market trends and competitor activities, and ensuring seamless collaboration across teams, including sales and engineering. Additionally, you will manage the marketing budget, track performance, and report insights to senior management to ensure the success of all marketing initiatives.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in a senior marketing role, preferably within machinery, grounds care, industrial manufacturing, or agricultural sectors. You’ll need a strong background in balancing traditional marketing methods with modern digital strategies, with proven expertise in driving growth across both. Experience in creating and executing export marketing strategies, especially promoting UK-made products internationally, is essential. As a leader, you’ll be adept at managing a small team and collaborating across departments to execute marketing initiatives effectively. A passion for sport, a deep understanding of the grounds care or machinery sectors, and a strong affinity for UK manufacturing are highly desirable. The successful applicant will be collaborative, proactive, and results-driven, with excellent communication skills and a commitment to contributing to a family-oriented business environment. You should be prepared to work on-site five days a week, engaging with the team and contributing to the company’s ongoing success.
