Description

Join a forward-thinking, high-growth SME with a strong reputation in the B2B market, where you'll be part of a collaborative and passionate team of professionals. You’ll have the opportunity to influence brand strategy at a strategic level, with real autonomy and the chance to make a meaningful impact from day one. We offer flexible working and clear paths for progression, along with the opportunity to lead significant projects that enhance marketing effectiveness. You'll contribute to exciting and purpose-driven work, including projects like The Wave, Solar Tree, and the New Hospitals Programme, initiatives that make a lasting, positive difference.


As Brand Manager, you'll be the custodian of our brand, responsible for driving brand awareness, consistency, and equity across all touchpoints. You’ll play a pivotal role in translating our business goals into impactful brand execution that resonates with B2B audiences, internally and externally.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement a cohesive brand strategy tailored to B2B audiences.

  • Conduct market, competitor, and customer insight research to inform brand decisions.
  • Champion the brand internally—driving employee advocacy and engagement through internal brand campaigns and training.
