About the role
We’re looking for an analytical, proactive and commercially minded Brand and Marketing Manager to join our team on a part-time basis, working 17 hours per week (equivalent to half our standard work week). Reporting to the Associate Programme Director, this role offers an exciting opportunity to lead the execution and elevation of Synergy Vision’s brand and marketing activity, helping to increase visibility, strengthen reputation, generate leads, and boost engagement across our key audiences. Office attendance requirement is based on your proximity to the office and can be discussed at interview.
Day to day, you’ll work closely with colleagues across new business/programme development, leadership, and HR functions to plan and deliver marketing and communications initiatives that support the agency’s growth objectives. This includes campaigns, website content, social media, thought leadership, awards submissions, recruitment marketing, events, email marketing and business development support. You’ll be the go-to expert on which marketing channels to use, and how to get the most of each one.
A key aspect of this role involves taking ownership of Synergy Vision’s brand presence across social and traditional media, ensuring our positioning, tone of voice and values are reflected consistently across all social media, traditional media, recruitment marketing and external communications. You’ll manage the agency website, coordinating updates, leading SEO and GEO activity, and analysing website performance. To ensure you have what you need to coordinate, track and optimise our marketing and brand communications, you’ll also play an active role in exploring marketing automation tools and AI solutions to improve efficiency, targeting and campaign performance.
This new role is integral to continuing our growth journey. You’ll therefore contribute to pipeline growth through lead-generation campaigns, nurturing activity and targeted outreach, and putting our agency front of mind for existing and potential customers. Synergy Vision has an established brand, tone, positioning and values — and we want someone who sees the opportunities for strengthening and sharpening our presence. We’ll ensure support within the business to develop and integrate your plans and, from there, you can enjoy high degree of independence. This is a varied and influential role, ideal for someone who has big ideas and enjoys making them come to life.
