Corecom Tech Academy is a multi-award-winning, inclusive and diverse technology academy committed to creating equitable opportunities for those looking to work in tech. We recruit, train and develop amazing tech talent and place them into some of the UK's most recognised organisations.
We're growing, and it's time our marketing grew with us. We're looking for a Marketing Manager to take ownership of our marketing function as player-coach, setting the strategic direction for our brand and line managing a Brand & Content Executive, staying hands-on in the detail alongside them.
The Role
This is a strategic leadership role with a hands-on edge and genuine line management responsibility. You'll set the direction and own the positioning, then line manage a Brand & Content Executive, directing their day-to-day delivery and owning their performance and development, while stepping in yourself where it's needed.
You'll be instrumental in shifting our marketing to a confident B2B presence, developing the language, content and campaigns that resonate with the enterprise, financial services, defence and public sector organisations we work with.
What You'll Be Doing
- Setting and owning marketing strategy, and contributing to our wider growth plan.
- Leading the Corecom Tech Academy brand, working closely with leadership and senior stakeholders.
- Line managing a Brand & Content Executive, including 1:1s, performance management and development, as well as day-to-day player-coach direction on content calendar, campaign priorities and creative direction.
- Building sales collateral and campaign strategy alongside our sales team.
- Owning website, SEO and performance strategy.
- Representing us at industry panels, events and partner sessions.
- Bringing a strong, consistent identity to a brand that's ready for its next chapter.
What We're Looking For
- Proven marketing management experience, ideally with a B2B background.
- A genuine strategic thinker, able to hold your own at the leadership table on campaign strategy and growth planning.
- Proven line management experience, comfortable operating as a player-coach: able to direct and manage the performance of a direct report while staying hands-on yourself.
- Confidence representing a business in person at industry events.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, used to working closely with senior leadership.
- A background in professional services, corporate, or another fast-paced environment is a bonus.
- Bonus points for experience in tech, talent development, or marketing into enterprise, financial services, defence or public sector organisations.
What We Offer
£40,000 - £50,000, depending on experience, plus benefits.
Hybrid working, based in Leeds, with flexibility on office days.
A genuinely senior, high-ownership remit with a direct report to help deliver your vision.
Direct access to and regular collaboration with our founders and leadership team.
What Happens Next?
- Apply: submit your most recent CV, along with a couple of short screening questions.
- Telephone chat: an informal call with our recruitment team to talk through your background and answer any questions you have about the role.
- Video interview: a 30-minute Teams call to discuss the role in more depth and explore your marketing experience against what we're looking for.
- In-person interview: successful candidates will be invited to our Leeds office to meet senior leaders and present on how you'd approach the role. We'll give plenty of notice and a full brief beforehand.
- Offer: if it's the right fit on both sides, we'll make an offer and send over your contract, start date (flexible) and everything you need to get set up.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take real ownership of a growing marketing function, at a business that puts its people first.
