Marketing Business Manager in Newcastle

At Newcastle Strategic Solutions (NSSL), we're looking for a forward-thinking and commercially focused Marketing Business Manager to help shape and drive our growth ambitions. Reporting to the Commercial Director, you'll play a pivotal role in developing and delivering our B2B marketing and digital strategy, ensuring our brand, campaigns and client communications support both commercial objectives and an exceptional client experience.

This is a varied and highly visible role where no two days are the same. You'll take ownership of the marketing roadmap, leading activity across digital channels, content, campaigns, events, PR and thought leadership. Working closely with colleagues across NSSL and partnering with our Internal Communications team, you'll ensure messaging is aligned, engaging and reflective of our brand, values and strategic priorities.

From developing impactful marketing campaigns and thought-provoking content to delivering client communications and enhancing our digital presence, you'll be responsible for creating activity that strengthens our market position, generates demand and supports commercial growth. You'll use insight, analytics and performance data to continuously refine and improve marketing effectiveness, ensuring every activity delivers measurable value and return on investment. You'll also build strong relationships with external agencies, suppliers and industry partners, helping to raise NSSL's profile, support lead generation and strengthen engagement with existing and prospective clients.

We're looking for a self-starter who thrives on taking ownership, spotting opportunities and turning ideas into action. You'll be equally comfortable developing strategy as you are rolling up your sleeves to deliver activity, bringing energy, creativity and commercial awareness to everything you do. You'll have significant experience within a B2B marketing environment and a proven track record of delivering integrated campaigns that achieve measurable results.

You understand how to use marketing and digital channels effectively to engage audiences, build brand awareness and support business growth. Whether through compelling content, targeted campaigns, client communications or digital optimisation, you'll know how to create activity that delivers impact. A natural collaborator, you'll enjoy building relationships across the business and working alongside a wide range of stakeholders.

You'll have excellent communication and copywriting skills, with the ability to translate complex information into engaging content that resonates with different audiences. Experience working closely with senior stakeholders, external agencies and communications professionals will be key. You'll also bring strong analytical skills, using insight and data to shape decisions, measure success and continuously improve performance.

Organised and highly effective at managing multiple priorities, you'll be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where initiative, adaptability and a proactive approach are highly valued.
