Head of Global Marketing in London

Head of Marketing required to join a global data and analytics business based in the City of London (initially on a 12 month fixed term contract) who support organisations across the energy, chemicals and commodities sectors. This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role with responsibility for the entire marketing function during a pivotal period of growth and transformation. You’ll take ownership of marketing strategy, lead generation, thought leadership and team leadership, whilst playing a key role in several high‑profile initiatives, including the evolution of the company’s flagship data platform and a major website redesign. For the right person, there is genuine potential for this role to become a permanent appointment.

The organisation is investing heavily in technology and is building an AI-native data platform that will reshape how its services are delivered and commercialised. This is a major step‑change in how the business operates and how it communicates its expertise to the market. As the organisation evolves, there is a growing focus on how its story is told across digital channels. With services becoming more data‑driven and digitally delivered, content, communications and digital visibility are playing an increasingly important role in how the business explains what it does, engages its audiences, and builds awareness of its capabilities globally. The business is in a significant phase of transformation, evolving from a traditional insight‑led organisation into a more product‑led, technology‑enabled platform business. With strong backing and a growing international footprint, it is scaling quickly and continuing to invest in its data, analytics and product capabilities to support future growth. You’ll be joining at an important point in this journey, with genuine momentum, visible change and the opportunity to shape how the organisation generates demand, communicates its expertise and supports commercial growth.

This is a role for a marketing leader who enjoys combining strategy with execution. You’ll take ownership of the marketing function, bringing structure, focus and momentum whilst ensuring marketing activity is closely aligned to commercial objectives. Working alongside senior leadership, sales and subject matter experts, you’ll be responsible for driving lead generation, strengthening thought leadership, improving marketing effectiveness and ensuring clear visibility of marketing’s contribution to revenue. This is not a role for someone who wants to operate purely at a strategic level. The successful individual will be expected to remain hands‑on, leading key initiatives, supporting the team day‑to‑day and ensuring delivery across campaigns, content, digital channels and brand activity. You’ll also play a key role in several business‑critical initiatives, including the continued evolution of their data platform, the delivery of a new website and the ongoing development of the marketing function itself.
