Interim Global Head of Marketing (Hiring Immediately)
Interim Head of Marketing (12 month FTC)
We’re looking for an experienced Global Head of Marketing to join on an initial 12-month maternity cover, leading our global marketing function.
Marketing plays a central role in how we build our brand, differentiate in key markets, and drive commercial performance. This role will ensure we maintain momentum, deliver against strategic priorities, and continue to operate as a high-performing, globally aligned function.
You’ll step into an established model and be expected to provide clear direction, prioritisation, and oversight across a complex, multi-channel environment, while remaining closely connected to execution and delivery.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will operate as a player-coach: setting direction while actively shaping campaigns, guiding output, and staying close to performance and delivery across the team. This is not a purely strategic or advisory position.
There is potential for this role to extend beyond the initial 12-month period, depending on business needs and performance.
Working environment
This is a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where clarity, pace, and quality of execution matter. The role requires someone comfortable operating with autonomy, making decisions, and leading through complexity.
We are a lean, high-performing team, so this role suits someone who enjoys being in the detail and actively driving work forward, not just directing from a distance. You’ll need to move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution on a daily basis.
Key responsibilities
Strategic leadership
- Own and drive the global marketing strategy and plan
- Translate business priorities into clear, actionable marketing direction
- Set priorities across sectors, campaigns, and regions
- Lead the development of the next global marketing strategy and annual plan
- Ensure alignment and consistency across global and group marketing teams
- Balance strategic ownership with active involvement in execution and delivery
Campaigns, brand & digital performance
- Actively shape and drive delivery of major campaigns and strategic marketing initiatives
- Ensure activity is aligned to pipeline generation
- Lead digital marketing strategy and stay close to performance, optimisation, and key channel decisions
- Drive external brand positioning through campaigns, content, and thought leadership
- Prioritise activity based on commercial impact and return on investment
Team leadership
- Lead and develop the global marketing team, with oversight across a multi-disciplinary function&nbs]]>
