Brand & Venue Marketing Lead

Salary: £60–65k
Lead the transformation of marketing across one of the world's great cultural institutions.
The V&A, is redesigning its Marketing & Insight function from the ground up. They’re moving from a traditional campaign-led model towards an audience-first, commercially accountable marketing organisation that connects millions of people with extraordinary cultural experiences. We're helping them hire the person who wants to lead that transformation.
The Opportunity
- You'll lead Brand & Venue Marketing across the V&A family of museums, helping shape how one of the world's most recognised cultural brands engages audiences today and for years to come.
- This isn't simply about delivering campaigns. It's about creating a marketing function that is strategically driven, commercially focused, and audience-centric.
- You'll build the systems, culture, and leadership that enable brilliant marketing to happen consistently.
- You'll inherit a talented team, but more importantly, you'll help shape what that team becomes.
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.

- Working alongside colleagues across Audience Insight, Customer Growth, Digital, CRM, and Commercial, you'll establish clear priorities, strengthen planning, improve measurement, and create a culture where marketing owns business outcomes, not simply campaign delivery.
Who We're Looking For
- You may come from visitor attractions, entertainment, retail, hospitality, travel, sport, or another consumer-facing organisation - as long as you have experience driving ticket sales or visitor growth.
- What's more important is that you've built high-performing marketing teams, delivered commercial results, and enjoy creating clarity where others see complexity.
