Marketing Program Manager

• You’ll be “can do”. You need to be able to pick up the initiative and get stuff done, no matter what kind of curve balls come flying at you.
• You’ll be a problem solver. If things crop up that get in the way you won’t just accept them and say, “oh well”. You’ll be coming up with the ideas and different approaches to get around, under and over those challenges.
• You’ll be inquisitive and empathetic, always looking for new ideas and new ways to do things that connect with people. And you’ll bring those to the table for the benefit of Sharper and our clients.
• You’ll be confident (but definitely not arrogant). You need to know yourself, know what you’re good at and back yourself in doing it. But you’ll also be self-aware and humble enough to know where the line is.
• You’ll want to crack on with your career. We want to see you be a success, but we also know you’re not going to stay with us forever. If we can help you on the way and we all have some fun doing it, then that’s win-win.

As we said, knowledge and skills can be gained or learned, but if you’ve got some of the following in your back pocket that’ll stand you in good stead.

Experience:

• 3-5 years B2B client-side experience ideally as a marketing manager, campaign manager, or similar. You will need to know what it’s like in our client’s world.
• Campaign creation, build and execution. You’ll know your way around how to create and run multi-channel enterprise marketing campaigns that make an impact with people.
• Marketing automation and tech. You don’t need to be a genius-level expert by any stretch of the imagination, but you will need to know enough to be dangerous with CRM, email platforms, marketing automation tools, etc.
• If you’ve got a marketing qualification (CIM, IDM, Mini-MBA, etc) that’s pretty cool, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Skills:

• Clear communicator. You’ll be working across multiple campaigns/projects talking to a variety of people so you’ve got to be clear and consistent with your communications – both written and verbal
• Able to handle complexity. With multiple projects/campaigns on the go at any one time you’ve got to have the mental agility to be able to switch from one thing to the next and be comfortable managing your own energy and time to do so.
• Idea generator. Client's love us for the different, unique, and innovative ideas we come up with, so you'll need to be able to throw plenty of these into the mix (and then be able to bring these to life)
• Copy writing. You’ve got to have a solid grasp on the English language and able to create engaging copy that will be used across the campaigns/projects we deliver for our clients.

As our Marketing Program Manager you'll be reporting into our Head of Marketing Programs and working with our other Program Managers, helping to pass on the benefit of your experience across all things campaigns as you do.

What you’ll get from us:

If you join us as our brand-new Marketing Program Manager we’ll give you:

• Our undying love and affection
• A £40,000 salary (Pro-rated for contract basis)
• 28 days holiday a year (+ a CSR day + a "disconnect day") (Pro-rated for contract basis)
• Regular team socials and celebrations. When we “win” we celebrate it well.
• The tech and equipment you’ll need to get things done
• Flexible working. We’ve got an HQ office in Farnborough and we do a "team day" each week. But you don’t have to work there. Truthfully, we don’t really mind how or where you work, it’s much more about getting the job done for our clients.

PLEASE NOTE: This role is for an initial 6-month contract but if all goes well we'll bring you in full-time which will then unlock access to:

• BUPA Healthcare
• Wellness App (YuLife)
• Our Incentive scheme (aka. Slingshot)

And one final thing - to check you've actually read the whole job spec before you apply - the secret code word is PROSCIUTTO. Make sure you drop that in if/when you speak to a member of the team 👍
