Head of Marketing

Own the growth plan for a business the UK's largest employers already trust.

Raise the Bar connects major organisations with 1,000+ Speakers, development programmes and funded Qualifications. We want a Head of Marketing to set the direction, own the lead number and personally drive the channels that grow it.

Lead it, and do it.

You'll own marketing strategy, positioning and the lead target across three business lines. Our Marketing and Growth Manager reports to you and runs the marketing team day to day, with strong foundations already in place.

This is a hands-on role. You'll grow demand through search and the website yourself, and get far more from a large database of contacts who already know us.
