Marketing Lead opportunity with Morgan Hunt, a leading public sector recruitment business. We place people into further education, social care, local government, housing, health and the third sector. We run temp, perm, executive search, RPO and managed services from 5 UK offices (London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow), backed by a sourcing team in India. Our work has picked up multiple awards, including Recruitment Agency of the Year, an FT Leading Recruiter listing, an APSCo Innovation award and Best Companies awards. We also host the Inspiring Working Lives podcast, talking to CEOs across education, the public sector and charities.



The opportunity



This is a unique opportunity to join a supportive, fun team and you will own the Morgan Hunt brand and everything that it represents - website, LinkedIn, video, email campaigns, internal communications, design. But the job is also measured in placements and contracts won. Your marketing work should have a direct link to sales generation, putting more candidates in front of our consultants and more clients in conversation with us. If a marketing campaign doesn't help someone place a person or win a contract, you'll ask why we're running it. You'll work across 5 offices and every sector we serve, so you'll be pulled in a lot of directions. Deciding what matters this week, and saying no to what doesn't, is half the job. This is a standalone role, you'll report to a board director and work with our video production contractor. Everything else in marketing runs through you. Other key responsibilities include:



· Business Lead Generation & Commercial Marketing

· Brand Management

· Digital Marketing, Content Creation & Social Media

· Email Marketing & Bullhorn Automations

· Webinars, Podcasts & Events

· Candidate Marketing & Job Board Management

· Website Management

· Marketing Reporting, Analytics & ROI

· Supporting Internal Communications & Employee Engagement

  The person
  
  
  
  
  This is a hybrid role, working from home 2 days a week and in our London office with the team 3 days a week. Creative drive matters most - you will come up with ideas, and you chase them until they produce something: a placement, a client meeting, a contract, a relationship that wasn't there before.
  
  
  
• Commercial. You judge marketing by what it does for the business. You build relationships through the work, with candidates, clients and our own consultants.
  
• Organised. You manage your own time and prioritise hard, across 5 offices and 6 sectors.
  
• Willing to push back. When a request doesn't make sense, or the timeline is fantasy, you say so and offer a better option - that includes the senior leadership team.
  
• Hands-on. You'll do the work yourself, from editing a video clip, writing copy, to briefing a supplier.
