Remote Marketing Manager in Rochdale

JH is a specialist eCommerce agency with a reputation built on breakthroughs. With our clients, and in the wider industry, we've kept ourselves deliberately lean, built a team of star players, and chosen to be the best over the biggest. Our clients stay, they refer us, and when people meet us, they tend to hire us.

We practise pull over push: content, thought leadership, building a presence that draws the right people in. It works. Now we want to go further, faster. We have the positioning and a detailed plan. What we're doing is bringing in a marketing leader to take full ownership: work alongside Jamie (CEO), shape how we grow, decide where the budget goes for maximum return, and build a flywheel that compounds over time.

This role owns the function.

What you'll do

• Own the marketing strategy: Take what exists and make it work harder. Translate JH's positioning and go-to-market priorities into a clear plan with a realistic calendar and measurable outcomes. The decisions become yours.
• Run campaigns end to end: Design and execute campaigns that generate qualified pipeline: outbound sequences, content-led programmes, partner activity, events. Not ideas handed off to someone else. Built, shipped, measured, improved.
• Lead the content engine: Our Growth Marketer runs execution. You set the direction: which stories, for which audiences, on which channels, and why. The Breakthrough Commerce newsletter, Friday Five, JH's LinkedIn presence.
• Unlock the subject matter expertise: We have people with deep knowledge across eCommerce strategy, technical delivery, CRO, and data. They'll contribute if someone creates the conditions for it. Turning that expertise into content, talks, and thought leadership is where this role has a disproportionate impact.
• Line manage our Growth Marketer: Develop this individual with the goal of building her independence. Set clear priorities, create space for her to own her work, and keep the relationship tight enough that it doesn't eat into your own capacity to lead.
• Lead MMUK and JH's industry presence: MMUK (Meet Magento UK) is JH's annual eCommerce conference, one of the largest in the UK. You'll own how it's marketed and how it runs. Beyond MMUK: MXLDN, partner days, retailer events, and the speaking slots that put JH's thinking in front of the right people.

What success looks like

A marketing plan that runs on schedule, produces results, and is transparent to Jamie and the wider leadership team at any point. No guessing what marketing is doing or why. By month six, the function is producing consistent results and you're already improving on what you built.

The skills and mindset we value

You've owned a marketing function before. You understand how brand, content, and demand generation connect. You move between strategy and execution without someone handing you a brief, you build marketing around pipeline not impressions, and you'd rather know something isn't working than assume it is.

You use AI as a natural part of how you work — not because you've been told to, but because you've already figured out it makes you better. You think in systems: build processes that compound, use data to know what's working, improve what you've built rather than just maintain it. We're not looking for someone who executes a brief. We need someone who builds the thing that makes the brief unnecessary.

What's in it for you

For the past couple of years, marketing has been led by the CEO with a content exec alongside. It's worked, but it's not where we want to stay. This is the hire that changes that. We're putting a dedicated marketing leader in the seat properly, with the budget, the team, and Jamie's full backing. We're invested in your success.

You report directly to Jamie, own the function, and have real say in how it develops. No committee, nobody approving your subject lines, nothing between you and the work. JH is remote-first. We care about output, not hours in a chair.
