Marketing Executive - Growth /Demand

We're working with an ambitious, early-stage company that's building something genuinely category-defining, backed by some of Europe's most respected early-stage investors, and growing fast. They're looking for a Marketing Growth Exec to come in as second-in-command in a small, close-knit marketing team, working directly alongside the person who built the function from scratch. This isn't a role where you'll be one of many. It's a role where what you do actually moves the needle, where your ideas get heard, and where you'll be trusted with real ownership from day one. What you'll actually be doing This is a campaign execution role at heart, so day to day you'll be genuinely hands-on with SEO and AEO strategy, LinkedIn and Google Ads, CRM, social and content, working closely with the Marketing Lead to test, learn and build out a repeatable growth engine. You'll get real exposure to commercial thinking and pipeline too, not just channel execution, and you'll help shape how the marketing function grows as the business scales through their next funding raise later this year. Who we're looking for Around 2 years' experience in a fast-moving or startup/scale-up environment (we know that can look different for different people, so don't rule yourself out if you're close but not exact) Comfortable across a broad marketing skill set, particularly SEO, paid channels (LinkedIn and Google Ads), CRM and content, with a genuine interest in the data side of things The kind of person who spots something that could be better and just fixes it, without waiting to be asked Genuinely eager to get stuck in, someone who wants to learn fast, take on more, and build towards leading a function themselves down the line - this is a real launchpad into a Marketing Lead path as the team grows What matters most is that you can think for yourself. Everyone uses AI tools and efficiency is appreciated, but we're looking for someone who uses Claude as a starting point, not a substitute for their own judgement. If you can show up to a task and demonstrate that you've genuinely thought it through, that will stand out far more than polish alone. You'll also need real soft skills, as this is a role where you might be briefing an agency one day and sat across from a journalist or the CEO the next. Confidence, curiosity and a proactive, "I'll figure it out" attitude will take you a long way here. This will suit you if: You get genuine satisfaction from spotting what's broken or missing and just sorting it, rather than waiting for someone to hand you a task You want ownership early in your career, not a seat at the back of a big team You're excited by the idea of growing into a more senior marketing role as the company scales, and want a company that will actually invest in that You like variety, one day might be SEO and ad performance, the next could be content, agency liaison, or CRM This might not be a match if: You're looking for a clearly defined, single-channel specialism rather than broad ownership You'd rather work within an established playbook than help build one from scratch Full remote working is a dealbreaker for you (this one's in-office 3 days a week) You prefer a larger team structure with more layers of support around you Why this one's worth a proper look Genuine ownership and autonomy from the start, not just 'growth marketing' in job title only A small team means visibility, your work won't get lost, and neither will you Real progression on the table as the company scales post-Series A Backed by top-tier early-stage investors with strong existing traction #J-18808-Ljbffr Propel London
