Head of Digital

Macildowie are working with this Nottingham-based consultancy to recruit a Head of Digital. This is a newly created role that blends leadership, strategy, and delivery across a couple of brands. It's an opportunity to shape how digital campaigns are designed, executed and measured, while leading a talented in-house team across marketing, web development and client delivery.

The Opportunity:

As Head of Digital, you'll set the direction for how the business approaches digital strategy and project execution. Leading a team of 5-10 marketing specialists (covering SEO, PPC, content, social media, and web development), you'll ensure projects run smoothly, clients stay engaged, and results speak for themselves.

You'll bring structure, clarity, and pace, creating an environment where ideas turn into measurable outcomes. From managing budgets and performance to coaching individuals and evolving digital processes, this is a role where your leadership will directly influence growth.

What's in it for you?

  • A genuine leadership role with room to shape strategy and culture
  • Hybrid working after probation (office-based in Nottingham)
  • 25 days holiday plus stat bank holidays
  • Health Cash Plan and pension scheme
  • Flexible benefits
  • Team-building weekends away (annually or bi-annually) and a collaborative, inclusive culture
  • And more....

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and deliver the business's digital strategy across marketing, web and client projects
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary team of seven digital professionals
  • Manage project delivery from brief to completion, ensuring deadlines, budgets and quality standards are met
  • Oversee budgeting and resource planning, maximising efficiency and ROI
  • Establish and track performance metrics to drive improvement and accountability
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, ensuring alignment and satisfaction
  • Keep the business ahead of emerging trends in digital marketing and technology
  • Collaborate across internal teams to ensure all digital activity supports wider commercial goals
  • Maintain compliance with best practice, data protection and industry standards

You'll (hopefully) bring:

A background spanning digital marketing, web projects or digital strategy. You combine commercial awareness with creative understanding, and you'll be as comfortable talking campaign metrics/strategy as you are coaching team members.

  • Proven experience leading a digital or marketing team
  • Strong project and budget management skills
  • A clear understanding of SEO, PPC, content, social media and web technologies
  • Experience managing client relationships and setting delivery expectations
  • Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills
  • A desire to build, influence and lead from the front

If you're ready to take ownership of a growing digital function, lead a talented team and drive commercial results through smart strategy and delivery... this could be your next ideal move.
