Marketing Manager

Do you have a strong track record across brand and trade marketing within prestige beauty or skincare?

Are you commercially minded, hands-on and confident working directly with founders and senior leadership?

Ready to take real ownership within a fast-moving, founder-led beauty business where ideas move quickly from strategy to execution?

MacGregor Black is partnering with a fast-growing, founder-led prestige skincare business on the search for a Marketing Manager . This is a hybrid position based in London , reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer.

This is a hands-on marketing role for someone who wants to build, not simply maintain. You will play a key role in driving brand and trade marketing forward, leading a small creative team, owning trade marketing execution across retail and wholesale channels, and partnering closely with the CMO and founders on brand strategy and campaign development.

Working within a lean, entrepreneurial environment, you'll need to be comfortable turning ideas into action quickly, bringing a strong point of view to brand and creative decisions, and managing multiple stakeholders, timelines and budgets with pace and confidence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a small creative team, providing clear briefs and reviewing work to ensure delivery against prestige brand standards.
• Own trade marketing planning and execution across retail and wholesale channels.
• Partner directly with the CMO and founders on brand strategy, campaigns and key marketing initiatives.
• Translate strategic and creative ideas into effective execution, working at pace within a fast-moving environment.
• Bring a strong, informed point of view to brand and creative decisions, confidently influencing stakeholders and challenging where appropriate.
• Manage marketing timelines, budgets and priorities across a lean and agile function.
• Work collaboratively across internal and external stakeholders to ensure campaigns and initiatives are delivered effectively and on time.
• Help shape the continued development and growth of the brand, balancing brand-building activity with strong commercial execution.

What We're Looking For:

• 7–9 years' marketing experience, ideally with strong exposure to prestige beauty or skincare.
• Proven experience working within a founder-led or founder-adjacent business.
• Strong grounding across both brand and trade marketing.
• Previous experience managing people and leading a creative team.
• A confident, ambitious and hands-on marketer who brings ideas, initiative and energy rather than waiting for direction.
• Commercially minded with the ability to connect brand strategy with strong execution.
• A confident communicator who is comfortable presenting ideas, giving an honest point of view and influencing senior stakeholders.
• Agile and action-led, with the resilience to operate effectively when priorities move quickly or plans change.
• Comfortable working with pace, autonomy and a high degree of ownership.
