Marketing Program Manager in Farnborough

Know your way around building, launching, and optimising B2B marketing campaigns (especially ABM) that truly deliver the goods? This role is all about delivering brilliant marketing programs and campaigns, and delighting our clients. You’ll be working incredibly closely with our beloved clients, the Sharper team, and our wider network of creative talent, to build, deliver and bring to life creative, interesting, different, and attention-grabbing B2B marketing campaigns. It’s all to ensure we deliver top-notch work that translates into success for our clients – whatever that looks like to them.

We’re on a mission to give our clients the Fresh Ideas & Firepower they need to make them and their B2B marketing Sharper (whilst making B2B marketing as a whole more creative, valued and commercially successful in the process). Clients love working with us for 3 main reasons:

• We’re all experienced client-side marketers. We’ve walked in their shoes. We know their world. We talk their language.
• We’re fearlessly creative, but we underpin EVERYTHING we do with metrics and measures of success.
• We’re nice people and fun to work with, but we give no easy rides. We’re direct. We challenge. We ask hard questions.

And we live and die by our values: Creativity, Tenacity, Fairness, and Fun. If you don’t think these 4 things are important then you’re not going to enjoy working here.

We’re a small (in the grand scheme of things), independent agency so we can’t afford to carry any passengers. Which means we hire first and foremost on attitude and personality. Experience and skills are obviously useful, but they can be gained or learned. If you’ve got the right approach and attitude though, you’ll be on to a winner.

So, what does that “right approach” and attitude look like?

• You’ll be “can do”. You need to be able to pick up the initiative and get stuff done, no matter what kind of curve balls come flying at you.
• You’ll be a problem solver. If things crop up that get in the way you won’t just accept them and say, “oh well”. You’ll be coming up with the ideas and different approaches to get around, under and over those challenges.
• You’ll be inquisitive and empathetic, always looking for new ideas and new ways to do things that connect with people.
• You’ll be confident (but definitely not arrogant). You need to know yourself, know what you’re good at and back yourself in doing it.
• You’ll want to crack on with your career. We want to see you be a success, but we also know you’re not going to stay with us forever.

As we said, knowledge and skills can be gained or learned, but if you’ve got some of the following in your back pocket that’ll stand you in good stead:

• Experience: 3-5 years B2B client-side experience ideally as a marketing manager, campaign manager, or similar.
• ABM Campaign creation, build and execution.
• Marketing automation and tech.

Skills:

• Clear communicator.
• Able to handle complexity.
• Idea generator.
• Copy writing.

As our Marketing Program Manager you'll be reporting into our Head of Marketing Programs and working with our other Campaign Managers, helping to pass on the benefit of your experience across all things campaigns as you do.

If you join us as our brand-new Marketing Program Manager we’ll give you:

• A £35,000 salary (Pro-rated for contract basis)
• 28 days holiday a year (+ a CSR day + a 'disconnect day') (Pro-rated for contract basis)
• Regular team socials and celebrations.
• The tech and equipment you’ll need to get things done.
• Flexible working.

PLEASE NOTE: This role is for an initial 6-month contract but if all goes well we'll bring you in full-time.
