Head of Digital Marketing - 12-month Maternity Cover
I'm working with a well-established premium fashion retailer with a strong UK and international presence, who are looking for a Head of Digital Marketing to join them on a 12-month maternity cover contract. This is a brilliant opportunity for a commercially sharp, performance-led marketing leader to step into a senior, highly visible role at real pace.
About the Role
You'll lead and evolve the marketing strategy across key international markets, with a strong emphasis on digital performance, customer acquisition and measurable commercial impact. You'll work closely with senior leadership, agency partners and cross-functional teams; including finance, trading, ecommerce and creative, to drive integrated, digital-first campaigns and continuously optimise performance across the marketing function.
Given the maternity cover timeline, this client is moving quickly and needs someone who can hit the ground running - so immediate or very short notice availability is essential!
Key Responsibilities

- Lead, manage and develop a team spanning digital marketing, social & influencer, PR and partner marketing

- Direct the management of marketing investment, including forecasting, planning and budget reallocation to maximise ROI
- Partner closely with finance, trading, ecommerce and creative teams to keep marketing activity aligned to commercial priorities
- Report performance and growth opportunities to senior leadership, bringing fresh thinking on tools and ways of working
