Marketing Director
Manchester based (3-4 days a week in the office, up to 5 during busy periods)
Up to £80k, experience dependent
We're working with a growing independent hospitality group with a portfolio of distinct venues across Manchester and Leeds. Every concept has its own identity and a loyal following, with the focus always on experience over transaction. It's made them one of the North's standout independent operators.
They're looking for a senior marketing leader to take the reins of the whole marketing function. It's a hands-on, SLT-level role reporting into the board. You'll build and grow the team (currently five), drive footfall across core sessions, and shape and deliver the events calendar as the group expands.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Title matters less than track record here. Whether you're a Marketing Director, Head of Marketing or CMO, the main thing is that you're senior and have led sizeable teams.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading the marketing function across the portfolio, owning strategy, structure and day-to-day delivery
- Building, leading and growing the marketing team as things scale
- Driving footfall for core high-volume sessions and building out the events programme, with a clear line to commercial results
- Leading marketing on new venue openings, from concept through to launch
- Directing external suppliers and agencies across PR and media
- Working closely with the board on strategy, performance and budget
