The Role

You'll lead marketing across multiple businesses, including Bishop & Miller Auctioneers and Plastic Culture.

This is a strategic, hands-on role. You'll be expected to think like a Head of Marketing while still enjoying rolling your sleeves up and making things happen.

You'll shape brand strategy, customer acquisition, events, partnerships, digital and customer experience.

Equally importantly, you'll build the reporting systems that allow us to understand exactly what's working, what's not, and where we should invest next.

We don't want someone who simply produces marketing. We want someone who helps build better businesses.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and deliver marketing strategies across multiple brands.
• Build distinctive brands that customers recognise and trust.
• Plan and deliver campaigns across digital, print, email, social media and events.
• Increase customer acquisition and strengthen customer loyalty.
• Analyse customer behaviour.
• Create dashboards that clearly communicate marketing performance.
• Track key metrics including customer acquisition, repeat business, customer lifetime value, engagement, conversion rates and return on investment.
• Present findings in a simple, visual and commercially meaningful way.
• Continually test, measure and improve marketing performance.
• Help leadership make better commercial decisions through clear marketing insight.

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Thinks creatively but makes decisions analytically.
• Understands that great brands drive commercial success.
• Can translate complex data into practical business decisions.
• Enjoys building systems as much as creating campaigns.
• Challenges assumptions with evidence rather than opinion.
• Takes ownership and follows ideas through to completion.
• Gets excited by solving commercial problems, not simply creating content.
• Can explain marketing performance clearly to people with no marketing background.

Success After 12 Months

You'll know you're succeeding if:

• Customer acquisition is increasing.
• More customers are returning.
• Marketing return on investment is improving.
• Every campaign has measurable objectives.
• Our brands are stronger and more recognisable.
• Leadership can make faster, better decisions because the data is clear.
• You've built a marketing function that becomes smarter every month.

The Opportunity

This is a flexible fractional role, giving you the freedom to shape your working pattern around delivering exceptional results rather than simply filling hours.

We're interested in outcomes, not presenteeism.

You'll have genuine influence across a growing group of businesses and the opportunity to build a marketing function from the ground up.

As our businesses continue to grow, there is significant opportunity for the role to grow with them.

If you're someone who enjoys making a meaningful impact, building brands and helping ambitious businesses grow, we'd love to hear from you.

Show Us Your Impact

Rather than simply telling us what you've done, show us the difference you made.

Tell us:

• What problem were you trying to solve?
• What did you do?
• How did you measure success?
• What happened?
• What did you learn?
• What would you do differently next time?

We're interested in marketers who can demonstrate measurable commercial impact, not just creative output.

Please send your CV together with examples of campaigns or projects that delivered measurable results, explaining the role you personally played in achieving them.
