Marketing Manager

Stafford | £40,000 – £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits

A hands-on Marketing Manager opportunity where you will directly influence commercial growth within a well-established engineering and machinery business operating across the UK manufacturing sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded marketing professional who enjoys taking ownership, working closely with sales teams, and delivering practical marketing activity that drives measurable business results.

About the Business

Our client is a long-established, family-owned engineering business with a strong reputation across the UK manufacturing and metal fabrication industry.

The company supplies high-quality machinery and engineered solutions to customers nationwide, supporting a wide range of fabrication, engineering, and manufacturing businesses. With extensive technical expertise, a consultative approach, and a commitment to long-term customer relationships, the business has built a trusted reputation within its market.

Following continued investment and growth, the company is now looking to strengthen and professionalise its marketing function, creating an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and hands-on Marketing Manager.

The Opportunity

This is a commercially focused, hands-on Marketing Manager role within a growing SME environment.

This is not a role focused purely on strategy or agency management. Success in this position will come from being directly involved in delivery, execution, and continuous improvement across all areas of marketing activity.

You will take ownership of day-to-day marketing operations while working closely with sales and senior leadership to support lead generation, brand visibility, customer engagement, and pipeline growth.

The business already works with external SEO and digital specialists, alongside an outsourced telesales lead generation partner, and you will play a key role in coordinating activity, improving effectiveness, and ensuring all marketing activity remains commercially aligned.

This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a visible impact within a technically focused business.
