Job description

Senior Marketing Manager
Event Organiser
Midlands
£40-45k + 10% Annual Bonus

Do you love marketing that actually moves the needle? Ready to lead, not just execute? And genuinely excited by international travel opportunities?

About Our Client
Our client runs a portfolio of established B2B exhibitions across multiple regions, each with its own dedicated marketing team. It's a small, fast-moving SME with a collaborative and hard-working culture: minimal red tape, maximum ownership, and a genuinely strong, sociable team that's stuck around for years.

The Opportunity
They're looking for a Senior Marketing Manager to take the reins of one of their international portfolios, several established exhibitions spanning sectors including pharmaceuticals, beauty, automotive, and food & beverage, with more in the pipeline. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll guide a team of experienced marketing executives, roll your sleeves up on campaigns yourself, and take real commercial accountability for the results.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading and directing marketing executives across an international show portfolio, stepping in hands-on where it counts
Running campaigns yourself, this is an operator's role, not a delegate-only seat
Driving event attendance and marketing-led sales growth, working closely with the sales team
Shifting strategy dynamically to maximise attendance and repeat-attendee rates
Bringing broad, 360-degree marketing experience, digital, print and strategic, to a growing portfolio
Travelling internationally several times a year to deliver exhibitions in person, with scope for the travel footprint to expand further

What We're Looking For

A genuine "doer and leader" - someone who can execute marketing tactics personally as well as manage a team
Agency, digital marketing or SEO experience translates brilliantly into this kind of role
SME or fast-paced environment experience, you thrive on change, quick pivots, and getting stuck in
Commercially driven, accountable, and able to point to measurable ROI from your past work
Genuine comfort with regular international travel, this is a non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have
Based within a reasonable commute of the office (roughly 40 minutes/40 miles)

What's On Offer

Salary: £40,000-£45,000
Bonus: 10% annual bonus, historically paid out every year
Office pattern: 4 days in-office initially, reducing to 2 days a week after probation
Culture: A close-knit, high-retention team with monthly socials and real recognition for great work
Impact: Genuine ownership of a growing international portfolio, with the autonomy to shape how it grows

If you want a role where your work is visible, your ideas count, and international travel is part of the job, this is it.
