Marketing Manager

Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? is a people performance and leadership consultancy founded by Olympic Gold Medallist Ben Hunt-Davis and Tom Barry in 2012. We help ambitious leaders achieve the clarity, alignment and mindset shift needed to drive lasting performance transformation. Our core programmes - Crazy Goal, High-Performing Teams and Leadership Performance - are used by organisations including Primark, Sage, Bayer, Henkel and the NHS. We’re really proud of the friendly, supportive and collaborative culture we have created and are driven to provide world class support for our clients to help them achieve their own gold medals.

Our work is built around a single question: 'Will it make the boat go faster?' - the question Ben's crew used to filter every decision on their journey from 7th in the world to Olympic Gold in Sydney 2000. We are a small, ambitious team on a clear growth journey. Marketing sits at the heart of that ambition - and this role is central to getting us there.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a marketing team whose impact is growing fast and playing an increasingly important part in the commercial success of the business. We are looking for a capable, creative marketer who can help accelerate the impact of our sales and marketing activity - executing on our plan, raising the bar on how we show up to the market, and supporting the team to attract, delight and convert the senior leaders we most want to work with.

The Marketing Manager role will report to Head of Marketing Josh Trebilcock and work closely with Kate Speed, our Growth Marketing Manager, and Chris Martin, Chief Commercial Officer, as part of a friendly, high-support, high-challenge team.

There are multiple dimensions to this role. We are looking for someone with experience on creative projects - design, brand, visual storytelling - because that is a gap in our team and an area where the right person can make an immediate impact. But this is not a purely creative role. You will also be hands-on across events, content, the website and sales enablement materials, working alongside a motivated team that supports each other to execute on our marketing plan and enhance our ability to attract and convert clients.

You Will Be Responsible For:

• Brand and Creative: Owning the visual identity of Will It? across all marketing materials - proposals, slide decks, event collateral, social assets and templates. Iterating and co-creating proposal materials with the sales team, listening to what clients and prospects need and reflecting that back compellingly on the page. Supporting the evolution of our proposal approach - including the potential move to AI-enabled tools such as Gamma. Managing relationships with external stakeholders including videographers, creative agencies, venue and event managers - ensuring we get great outcomes on time and within budget.
• Content and Social: Designing social media assets, infographics and LinkedIn graphics that support our thought leadership and outreach activity. Producing video content - editing highlights from keynotes, webinars and events for social media and YouTube. Turning delivery team write-ups into polished, client-facing case studies for the website and proposals. Supporting the production and design of our monthly newsletter. Assisting with content/asset creation and coordination.
