Head of Brand Marketing

We are looking for a Head of Brand Marketing to lead our Brand Team. Although our offices are based in the North of England, we are open to considering UK wide based applications. The Head of Brand Marketing is a key leadership role responsible for shaping and delivering Visualsoft’s brand and go-to-market strategy, with a strong focus on events, digital engagement, the Shopify ecosystem, and the growth of our Unified Retail proposition.

You will play a central role in defining and threading Visualsoft’s Unified Retail narrative across every touchpoint, ensuring our positioning, partnerships, retail innovation, and in-store commerce capabilities are consistently communicated to the market. Working closely with commercial, partnerships, retail product, and leadership teams, you will help bring together the story of connected commerce across ecommerce, POS, retail operations, and customer experience.

This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role, responsible for developing impactful campaigns, managing a busy events calendar, and delivering compelling brand storytelling across all channels. The role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can confidently manage multiple priorities, and is highly organised in delivering high-quality marketing outputs that support brand growth, market positioning, and commercial opportunity.

You will also act as the guardian of the Visualsoft brand, owning internal brand guidelines and ensuring a consistent and professional brand presence across all internal and external touchpoints. This includes oversight of branded assets such as presentations, templates, merchandise, email signatures, office branding, and supporting materials used across the business. You will lead a small marketing team and work closely with senior stakeholders across Sales, Partnerships, Product, and Retail to drive brand awareness, pipeline growth, and customer engagement.

A key part of the role will be aligning and amplifying Visualsoft’s Unified Retail go-to-market strategy, ensuring consistent messaging and impactful campaigns across ecommerce, retail, Shopify, and partner-led initiatives.
