Marshall Group
Marshall Group is the audio, tech, and design powerhouse uniting musicians and music lovers through genre-breaking innovation. Our flagship brand, Marshall, is uniquely positioned with over 60 years of rock ‘n’ roll attitude on stage, at home, and on the go. Our iconic products are brought to life by a dedicated team of 800 passionate employees and sold in over 90 markets worldwide.
Right now, we're looking for a Senior Manager Licensing to join our Licensing team, with a focus on developing Marshall's licensing programmes and partnerships and leading marketing across the entire licensing portfolio.
What you'll do:
As Senior Manager Licensing, you'll be responsible for Marshall's licensing programmes within your allocated categories and partners. You'll shape and deliver the licensing strategy, negotiate agreements, manage the product portfolio and work closely with licensees to grow brand exposure and revenue together. You'll also lead marketing for the licensing portfolio, helping ensure that every licensed product reflects the Marshall brand. The role includes some travel, for example in connection with partner meetings and factory audits.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Develop and deliver licensing strategies for your categories and partners, using market insights from music, consumer electronics and related consumer categories to identify new opportunities and prepare business cases for management.
- Manage licensing partners end to end, covering contracts, product, marketing, sales, finance and compliance, and work with Legal to negotiate agreements and protect Marshall's intellectual property.
- Lead marketing activities across the licensing portfolio together with Marshall's marketing teams, and maintain the brand guidelines and processes that help licensees represent the brand consistently.
- Coordinate the product approval process with our product and design teams, and ensure licensees meet contractual, product safety, social and environmental requirements, including factory audits.
- Manage royalty tracking, auditing, reporting, budget and forecast for all licensees in close collaboration with Finance, and help develop AI-supported automation of licensing marketing and finance processes.

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

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.
Who we're looking for:
You enjoy taking ownership and work well both independently and as part of a team. You're structured, curious and committed, and comfortable balancing several projects as priorities change. You build trusting, collaborative relationships with colleagues across the organisation and with external partners, and you support partners in developing their business with us. You communicate clearly, negotiate thoughtfully, pay attention to detail and are keen to keep learning. A passion for music and related lifestyle is important, and an interest in what the Marshall brand stands for is a natural plus.
