Marketing Director | Board Appointment | HSL Chairs | West Yorkshire

Some brands have history. Others have genuine heritage. For over 50 years, HSL Chairs has been designing and making beautiful, handcrafted furniture in Yorkshire, building a trusted British brand with customers at the heart of everything it does.

Now, with 50+ showrooms across the UK, a growing ecommerce business and ambitious plans for the future, HSL is looking for an exceptional Marketing Director to join its Board of Directors and help shape the next chapter of the business.

This is a significant leadership opportunity.

  • Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll lead a marketing team of 10+, take ownership of multi-million-pound marketing budgets and influence the commercial strategy across brand, digital, ecommerce and the physical retail estate.
  • We’re looking for a Marketing Director who understands that great marketing isn’t just about creating a brilliant brand, it’s about driving customers, conversion and profitable growth.
  • You’ll bring together customer insight, brand, performance marketing, CRM, ecommerce and retail marketing to create one connected customer journey, working closely with the CEO and fellow Board Directors across Sales, Product and Finance.
  • We’d particularly love to hear from senior marketing leaders who have operated within retail, consumer or omnichannel businesses, combining strong brand instincts with real commercial and analytical rigour.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
