Head of Marketing - GEKO Energy
About the Job
Want to build a marketing function from the ground up, rather than inherit someone else's? This role owns every part of marketing at GEKO Energy, from Meta ads and creative to brand, email and the team that delivers it all. This is a senior hire and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with the business long term. The role is designed to become our Marketing Director position, and for the right person there is a clear route to a directorship and an equity stake as we scale.
About Us
GEKO Energy is a new MCS-certified solar installer, but we're not starting from scratch. We're built on years of success in solar lead generation and sales, and that gives us a pipeline and a commercial engine most new installers don't have. We completed 20 installations in our first month, we're on track for 450 installs in our first year, and the ambition is to be a top five UK installer within five years. We intend to scale aggressively, and marketing sits at the centre of that.
The Role
Paid Social and Lead Generation
- Own our Meta ads account end to end, including strategy, campaign structure, budgets, audiences and optimisation
- Scale spend profitably while keeping cost per lead and lead quality in line with sales capacity
- Build a structured testing programme across creative, copy, offers, audiences and landing pages
- Report on performance in terms that matter to the business: cost per lead, cost per sale and return on spend

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Team and Leadership
- Wear multiple hats at the start, doing much of the hands-on work yourself

- Work closely with sales and operations so that lead volume and quality match what the business can convert and install
- Take a seat at the table on growth strategy as the role moves towards Marketing Director
Essential Requirements
