Senior Marketing Manager - Sage People in Winnersh

At Sage, we knock down barriers so everyone can thrive. As a Senior Marketing Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and accelerating the growth of Sage People, our multinational HR and Payroll solution. You’ll own campaign strategy and execution, modernising our go‑to‑market approach and blending high‑performing inbound marketing with targeted outbound ABX. Working closely with senior stakeholders across Marketing, Sales and Product, you’ll turn insight, data and AI‑powered tools into measurable commercial impact. This is a hands‑on role in a small, high‑impact team where you’ll have the autonomy to experiment, learn and deliver real results at pace.

Overview of the team

You’ll join a small but mighty marketing team within a recently formed Business Unit, focused on driving growth for Sage People. You’ll own both the execution and the outcome, supported by Sage’s wider corporate marketing organisation, with access to advanced AI capabilities, shared services and centres of excellence. Personal accountability and collaboration are at the heart of how we work across teams to deliver integrated, revenue‑focused campaigns that position Sage People clearly and competitively in the market to drive growth.

Hybrid Working – 3 days per week in our Winnersh office and 2 days from home.

In this role, you’ll balance strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery, owning initiatives end to end and working closely with partners across the business.

You’ll spend your time:

• Developing and evolving go‑to‑market strategies for a B2B SaaS product, including market segmentation, campaign level ICP targeting and value proposition articulation.
