There's far too many 'head of' roles around where you don't get to make a difference. There's far too many ' head of' roles around where they won't consider candidates taking a step up. There's not many 'head of' roles around where they won't consider candidates with minimal management experience. These are all true statements, but NOT for the role we have live.
The caveat we do have is that you MUST come from the hospitality sector, it could be hotels, it could be restaurants, bars, even food service. You must have extensive experience marketing to consumers that want to eat, that want to spend money eating and socialising.
This is a senior role leading a new division in the food industry, where you will be the go-to person advising global brands on how to maximise the sales through their hospitality services. You need to be knowledgeable and experience, you need to be a trusted advisor, and most importantly you have to be passionate about the industry and delivering.
In terms of marketing experience we need an all rounded, offline, digital, ATL, brand focused, and strategic individual, there will be agency support, and you will have a small team but you need to be hands on, and leading from the front. Popular channels of communication with be social, content, experiential events, PR, radio and TV as well as print, POS and menus.
The role can be based out of Oxfordshire or London, but the company don't operate a homeworking policy so you have to be happy to be in and amongst it, willing to travel to other sites and events across the UK as required. The company is not inflexible, but the role would not suit somebody who wants to be at home, and unfortunately if that's your desire then you won't be suitable.
However if you are, and you are intelligent and hardworking, the sky is the limit in terms of opportunity as there are promotional opportunities and rewards available for those that show they want it. If this sounds attractive send us your CV today before it's too late.
The organisation is located near to Bicester so if you do not drive, you must be able to get to Bicester by public transport. Ideally suited for people living in Bicester, Aylesbury, Oxford, Banbury, Brackley. London and Milton Keynes.
