Marketing Manager (12-month FTC for maternity cover)
Company: Genie Shopping Ltd

Who is Genie Shopping?
Genie Shopping is a UK-based, high-growth performance marketing business operating through the affiliate channel and CSS ecosystem. As a certified Google CSS Premium Partner, we work with retail giants like Boots, eBay, Frasers, B&Q, Currys, and Lookfantastic, serving over 57 billion ad impressions to users across our network.
We differentiate ourselves through our managed CSS CPA model and our technical scale. We don’t act as a traditional CSS; we act as a performance partner. Alongside our self-managed SaaS offering, our core revenue comes from our CPA model, which means our success is directly aligned with our clients'. We are a driving force in the industry, leading the conversation through education, sponsorship, and active event contribution. This approach has led to huge success, doubling our growth in 2024 and setting new records in 2025.
We are a certified Great Place to Work with a remote-first setup. Our environment is small (~25 people) but ambitious. We value:
- Autonomy: We hire people who want to own their output. If you love solving complex problems and implementing your own ideas, you will thrive here.
- Connection: We prioritize culture over geography. We get together for proper team socials every quarter - think punting, cocktail making, and go-karting, to ensure we stay connected as people, not just colleagues.
The team is remotely based, but has fluidity in meeting in-person for client meetings, industry events, strategy days and team socials. There are requirements to travel to Cambridge, London (or other UK locations) once a month on average.
Job Overview
This is a 12-month fixed-term role covering maternity leave. You'll report directly to our new Chief Marketing Officer in a small marketing team, so it's a hands-on role with a lot of visibility and real influence over how marketing works at Genie.
There won't be a formal handover from the outgoing Marketing Manager. Instead, you'll be onboarded by the CMO and work closely with Strategic Partnerships, Existing Clients and the Website team from day one. We're looking for someone who's comfortable with some ambiguity, picks things up quickly and enjoys building as well as delivering.
The role description below reflects the permanent role in full. In practice, the first few months will centre on a smaller set of immediate priorities:
- Rebrand and positioning: Supporting delivery of our rebrand and applying the new positioning and messaging across the website, sales materials and communications.
- Sales enablement: Creating and updating the materials, case studies and content that Strategic Partnerships and Existing Clients need to win and grow accounts.
- Events: Planning and running our events programme, including follow-up and reporting so that we get better value from each event.
- Planning and reporting: Helping to set up a simple rhythm for planning, budget tracking and reporting, with measures linked to pipeline, GP and client growth.
