[Hiring] Marketing Manager @Remote Recruitment

Role Description

This is a senior seat at a company of four people. Nobody will train you and nobody has time to check your work. If you need a manager to break tasks down for you, this is not the job. If you have run the whole marketing channel for a small business and you are good at it, keep reading.

You run marketing end to end for a small, fast-growing business. The fractional CMO owns the strategy, the calendar and the priorities. Everything downstream of that is yours: you take the brief and you deliver it, properly, without being chased and without being taught.

You will be across all of it, social, content, email, events, analytics, paid. But we are not looking for someone who is average at everything. We want you to be genuinely strong in one or two areas and competent across the rest.

What you will actually do

• Take a brief from the fractional CMO and execute it end to end, first time, to a standard nobody has to correct.
• Build and ship email campaigns and automated sequences in ActiveCampaign, including event follow-up flows segmented by who attended and who did not.
• Own the content and publishing calendar across LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
• Write short-form copy, campaign emails, social, show notes. You will not have a copywriter sitting next to you.
• Run the SEO programme: what topics the business should own, and the content that wins them.
• Run and optimise paid campaigns where they earn their place, and report honestly on what they cost and what they returned.
• Own comms for live events and online workshops, announcement through to post-event follow-up.
• Keep the tracking honest and produce a monthly report that tells the founders what moved and why.
• Use AI properly in daily production, not as a novelty.

Qualifications

• You have owned marketing end to end at a small business, a startup, or directly for founders.
• Real depth in one or two areas: SEO and content, or Meta and paid social, or email and lifecycle, or analytics and attribution.
• Numbers you can defend. Not "improved engagement". What was it before, what was it after, what did the business get, and how do you know.
• Technical by instinct. You pick up new tools quickly, you have built things yourself, and you use AI because you understand what it can do.
• You deliver alone. Remote, lightly managed, off a written brief, on time.
• Experienced enough to have been there and done it. This is not a first or second marketing job.

Nice to have

• ActiveCampaign specifically, though any serious automation platform transfers.
• Event marketing.
• Podcast or video production.
• Experience marketing a B2B service to business leaders.

What you get

Full ownership of marketing delivery at a company selling the thing every business is currently trying to work out, with a fractional CMO who knows what he wants and tells you clearly. Full-time, permanent, UK hours, paid in rands into a South African account. Employed through Remote Recruitment, working as part of the client's team.

Equipment

• Reliable laptop.
• Stable fibre.
• Quiet professional home working setup.

Process

A recorded screening interview with us, then a task and a final conversation with the founder and the fractional CMO. You will hear back within 24 hours of every stage.
