Marketing Manager - Maternity Cover | Exciting Growth Phase

Location: Ideal base: Amersham, Beaconsfield, or Marlow area
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + up to 7% annual bonus (split between personal and business performance)
Start Date: ASAP
Contract: Initially maternity cover with potential to become permanent as the business expands

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to step into a Marketing Manager role during one of the most exciting periods in the company's growth trajectory. With the portfolio expanding from 16 to 26 developments by the end of next year, you'll be at the heart of multiple new launches and project deliveries.

You'll take ownership of the South West and South East regions, covering live developments in Kent, Oxford, Kidlington, Surrey, and Bristol, with additional schemes launching throughout the year. This is a standalone role perfect for an independent, senior marketer who thrives on autonomy and can hit the ground running without the support of a coordinator.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

Multiple live launches: Manage 4-5 active developments with more coming online through spring and summer
Strategic impact: Work across geographically diverse, high-value schemes with minimal oversight - your expertise will drive results
Supportive leadership: Join an exceptional marketing team of 5 Marketing Managers, each leading their own regions, with a collaborative Head of Marketing
Growth trajectory: Strong potential for this maternity cover to convert into a permanent position as the business scales rapidly
Flexibility where it counts: While presence at the head office in Waltham Abbey is required regularly, there's flexibility for essential WFH when needed. Hotel accommodation provided for Bristol visits rather than long drives.What We're Looking For

This role demands someone strong, strategic, and self-sufficient. You'll need:

Proven experience as a Marketing Manager within property or residential development
Track record of managing people and leading marketing initiatives independently
Confidence working across multiple live sites and launches simultaneously
Ability to build relationships with regional sales teams and stakeholders
Geographic flexibility-Bristol visits approximately once weekly, occasional Kent presence, with the sweet spot being accessibility to Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley corridorThe Details

Weekly rolling temporary contract initially, with quick movement to secure handover
Office base: Waltham Abbey (no fixed WFH days, but flexibility available when genuinely needed)
Travel: Regular presence required across developments in Bristol, Kent, Oxford, Kidlington, and Surrey
Team: Collaborative environment with fellow Marketing Managers, though you'll operate independently within your region
