Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager

You're our Marketing Manager. You'll work alongside the Director of Marketing across everything we do to market the Velstar brand, from hero campaigns, events, and awards to our website, social, search, and email. It's a broad role with real variety and a chance to shape how we show up in the market.

As a two-person team you share responsibilities rather than silo them. You bring particular expertise in HubSpot and lead nurturing, helping turn great marketing into pipeline, and you play a big part in planning and delivering our events.

You own your projects from brief to results with support from across the agency. We're looking for someone who thinks commercially, takes ownership, and is ready to put in the work.

What your role looks like

CRM and pipeline

• Own HubSpot, including data quality, lifecycle stages, lists, lead scoring, and campaign tracking.

• Build and improve nurture journeys, email flows, and newsletters that turn contacts into sales conversations.

• Agree the handover of marketing qualified leads with Sales, ensuring warm leads are followed up quickly.

• Report on pipeline and revenue generated or influenced by marketing, and use it to decide where time and budget go.

Campaigns and events

• Deliver our flagship hero campaigns end to end, including eBooks, virtual events, and the in-person event that closes each campaign.

• Plan client, prospect, and partner events and trade shows with the Director of Marketing, owning the journey from invite to follow-up.

• Build joint marketing activity with technology partners.

PR, awards and content

• Support our PR and media relationships, and run our awards programme with our freelance award entry specialist.

• Write and commission articles, blogs, and case studies, and manage organic social, primarily on LinkedIn.

• Co-lead The Commerce Confidential, our invite-only network for senior ecommerce leaders, and support the Velstar podcast.

Digital, brand and creative

• Support PPC and SEO for the Velstar brand, and build pages on our website and in HubSpot.

• Brief the design team, produce quick-turnaround assets in Canva, and look after reviews, Google Business Profiles, the Master Deck, and our shared GDrive.

Stakeholder management

• Work collaboratively with Sales, Account Management, Creative and Design, web development, partners, press, and freelancers.
