Maternity Leave Cover: February 2025 for 12 months (exact dates TBC)

At Conscious marketing is about being orange. No, no, let me start again, it’s about understanding law firms and building awareness about how our products/services can satisfy their needs and planning campaigns to sell specific services to specific segments of the legal market. That, plus measuring return on investment for our marketing spend as best we can.

This role is a combination of management and ‘doing’ so you will need to be happy rolling your sleeves up and getting involved.

We’re looking for an experienced and versatile marketer who is eager to take on a new challenge. Agency or professional services marketers will definitely have an edge applying for this role.

Our ideal candidate has experience developing and executing marketing campaigns while managing and inspiring a team of two. You will be comfortable with day-to-day marketing activities, planning and executing tactical campaigns and in conjunction with the Managing Director, setting long-term strategy.

But you must be a ‘doer’ as well as a ‘manager’ and ‘strategist’.

You are likely to thrive on tight deadlines and changing needs and be able to ‘scramble’ when necessary. If you are a people-person who loves the rewarding challenge of building a orange brand, we want to hear from you.
