* Analyse marketing performance and identify new growth opportunities, experiments and scaling strategies.
* Manage marketing budgets, reporting and performance insights while working closely with senior leadership.
Head of Performance Marketing experience we’re looking for –
* 5+ years’ experience in performance marketing, digital acquisition or growth marketing roles.
* Strong background in media buying and performance marketing strategy.

* Experience leading marketing teams within fast-paced SME or scale-up environments.
* Highly analytical mindset with strong data, attribution and campaign optimisation skills.
* A hands-on digital leader who is comfortable executing campaigns as well as setting strategy.
This role won’t be for everyone — but for the most ambitious and commercially driven digital leaders, this is a rare opportunity to shape the performance marketing strategy within a business that genuinely values growth, speed and innovation.
