Marketing Lead (Part-Time)

About Steeldeck Rentals

We build the stuff people sit on, stand on, rely on — and make great memories on. First in. Last out. Everywhere you need us, even if you never notice. We are Steeldeck Rentals, delivering for over 30 years. We design and install bespoke temporary seating and staging that’s as creative as it is rock solid. From world-famous festivals and major TV productions to theatres, cultural landmarks and sporting events, our structures quietly — and safely — support unforgettable moments. We’re known for doing things properly. Safe, innovative solutions with unrivalled range, versatility and strength. With depots in London and Manchester, we deliver nationwide and beyond, working with leading broadcasters, venues and production partners across the UK and Europe. In short, we’re specialists, problem‑solvers and trusted partners — and we take real pride in what we do. As a family‑owned and family‑led company, we care deeply about our people and the quality of our work. You’ll be trusted, supported and expected to deliver — and your contribution will be noticed.

The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Lead who loves making things happen. You’ll help plan and deliver marketing, communications and business development activity that builds the Steeldeck brand, gets us in front of the right people, and supports sales and growth — much like we support some of the UK’s best events, from muddy fields to world‑class venues. This is a hands‑on role with real autonomy. You’ll work closely with senior team members and get involved across digital, content (print, digital, other), PR, partnerships, events and sales support. We’re a small, close‑knit team with a strong reputation in our industry, so we’re looking for someone proactive, flexible and happy to roll their sleeves up. If you enjoy variety, taking ownership and seeing your work out in the real world quickly, you’ll feel right at home.
