Marketing & Communications Lead

Salary - Up to £42,000

Location - Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, DN16 1XA

Pattern of Work – 36.5 hours, Monday - Friday

What you need to know about the role

We’re looking for a creative, proactive Marketing & Communications Lead to help elevate our brand and strengthen our presence across the industry. This is a dynamic role where you’ll shape how our company is seen, heard, and experienced by customers around the world.

You’ll be at the heart of how we communicate with the world — shaping our reputation, supporting our customers, and ensuring our brand stands out in a competitive marketplace. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves variety, thrives on creativity, and wants to make a visible impact.

Key responsibilities

* Creating and publishing compelling content across a wide range of channels, including our website, brochures, videos, social media, press releases, e‑flyers, posters, and presentations.

* Driving the ongoing development and evolution of our marketing materials to ensure they support our customers and reflect our brand at its best.

* Acting as deputy to the Communications Manager when required, helping to guide the wider communications function.

* Playing a key role in protecting, strengthening, and championing our brand across all touchpoints.

* Leading the planning and delivery of our customer events calendar, both in the UK and internationally — from exhibitions and conferences to seminars, awards ceremonies, and trade shows.

* Providing regular performance reports on marketing activities, using robust measurement tools to evaluate impact and inform future strategy.

What we need to know about you

We’re looking for a talented, self-assured marketing professional with a proven track record in delivering impactful communications. Ideally, you’ll bring at least three years’ experience in marketing and/or communications management within a major organisation. Experience in the steel or manufacturing sectors would be a bonus, but it’s not essential — we’re far more interested in your ability to deliver outstanding work.

You’ll need to demonstrate a strong history of developing and executing proactive, customer‑focused campaigns that build brand awareness and enhance reputation. Experience managing budgets and working with creative software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere Pro would be highly advantageous. Confidence with PowerPoint and Excel is essential, and experience producing video content and publishing via web management systems and social media platforms will help you stand out.

Strong relationship‑building skills are vital. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the business — including senior leaders — as well as external agencies and suppliers, so the ability to collaborate, influence and communicate effectively is key.
