Marketing Manager

GMP Recruitment Agency Limited are proud to be partnered with our long standing client Kidderminster based client.
Marketing Manager (Hands-On) – Build Something From Scratch
Salary: £40,000–£50,000
Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Business
Our client is a growing, down-to-earth business that takes pride in doing things properly. They work in essential sectors, have strong long-term customer relationships, and are known for being reliable and easy to work with.
They’re now at an exciting stage of growth and are investing in marketing in a serious way for the first time—so this is your chance to come in and build it from the ground up.
The Role
It’s a hands-on role—perfect for someone who enjoys getting stuck in rather than managing agencies or big teams. You’ll be shaping the marketing strategy and delivering it yourself.
One day you might be planning a campaign or refining messaging, the next you could be writing LinkedIn posts, updating the website, creating case studies, or supporting the sales team with materials.
If you like variety and want to see the direct impact of your work, this is a great opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Creating and delivering a marketing plan that supports business growth
* Managing day-to-day marketing activity across the business
* Writing and posting content (especially on LinkedIn)
* Keeping the website fresh, relevant, and effective
* Producing marketing materials like brochures, presentations, case studies, and emails
* Working closely with the owner and sales team to win new business
* Building and refining the brand, messaging, and tone of voice
* Running campaigns to boost awareness and generate leads
* Tracking performance and using data to improve results
* Spotting new ways marketing can support growth
* Managing freelancers when needed (but staying hands-on yourself)
* Setting up the foundations for a scalable marketing function
What They’re Looking For
* Experience in a broad, hands-on marketing role (ideally where you’ve had to figure things out yourself)
* Strong writing skills and confidence creating content
* Experience with LinkedIn and website content
* Good understanding of digital marketing, branding, and lead generation
* Someone commercially aware who can spot opportunities
* Comfortable working independently and managing your own workload
* Organised, proactive, and happy juggling different tasks
Nice to Have (Not Essential)
* B2B marketing experience
* Experience in an SME or growing business
* Familiarity with CRM systems, email tools, or CMS platforms
* Experience creating sales support materials
* Confidence using data to guide decisions
Why This Role Stands Out
* First marketing hire – real ownership
* Chance to build something from scratch
* Varied, hands-on work (no two days the same)
* Direct impact on business growth
* Close collaboration with decision-makers
If you’re someone who enjoys building, creating, and making things happen—not just talking about it—this role gives you the space to make it your own.
