Marketing Manager

<p><strong>Marketing Manager </strong></p> <p>Are you a hands-on marketing generalist with a passion for great food and fast-paced hospitality? <br>  </p> <p>We’re currently partnered with a vibrant, premium food brand on a mission to make healthy eating accessible, delicious, and fun!  With a growing network of shops and delivery kitchens across London, we are looking for a Marketing Manager to take full ownership of their brand presence. <br>  </p> <p>This is a true stand-alone role (supported by a Marketing Executive and external resources) where you will be the guardian of our voice, driving growth across every channel—from the UberEats scroll to the in-store menu board. <br>  </p> <p><strong>The Role </strong></p> <p>Reporting directly to the Leadership Team, you won't just be "managing" marketing; you will be building it. You will act as the bridge between our operations, our food development team, and our customers. <br>  </p> <p><strong>Your Mission: </strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>Own the Brand Voice: Ensure every touchpoint—whether a flyer in a local office or an Instagram reel—reflects our fresh, energetic, and premium identity. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Master the Aggregators: Drive conversion and visibility on Deliveroo, UberEats, and Just Eat. You will manage promotions, optimise menu photography, and analyse performance to win the "delivery wars." </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Drive Footfall (Local Store Marketing): Get creative with driving lunchtime traffic to our physical sites. Think corporate office drops, local partnerships, sampling events, and eye-catching A-boards. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Digital & Community: Oversee our social media channels and CRM. You’ll grow our App user base and keep our loyal customers hungry with engaging newsletters and loyalty perks. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>NPD & Menus: Work with our food team to launch new seasonal specials and core menu items. You will manage the critical path for launches, including copywriting, menu design (briefing agencies), and in-store POS implementation. <br>  </p> </ul> <p><strong>What You’ll Bring to the Table </strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>Experience: Demonstrable experience in a marketing manager role within Hospitality, QSR, or Food Retail is essential. You need to know how a kitchen operates and the dynamics of the lunch rush. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Aggregator Fluency: You understand the algorithms of the major delivery platforms and how to use their marketing tools to drive ROI. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>A "Generalist" Mindset: You are comfortable writing copy one hour, briefing a graphic designer the next, and analysing sales data in the afternoon. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Independence: You thrive in a stand-alone environment where you have autonomy. You don’t wait to be told what to do; you spot the opportunity and chase it. </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>Commercial Awareness: You understand that brand awareness is great, but sales, cover counts, and basket size are the real metrics of success. </p> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Location & Workplace Policy </strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>Central London </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>5 days in office (1 day WFH if required) </p> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Salary & Benefits </strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>£55,000 per annum </p> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>22 days holiday + bank holidays (rises with service) pension, private healthcare, free meals during working hours </p> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>If you would like a confidential chat about this role or your next career move, then please send your CV to <a href="mailto:jodie.clayton@majorplayers.co.uk" target="_blank">jodie.clayton@majorplayers.co.uk</a> or connect via LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodieclayton/" target="_blank">Jodie Clayton</a> </p> <p>Major Players are the UK’s leading digital, marketing, and creative talent agency, and over the last 30 years we’ve consistently championed our people and communities.
