Marketing & Growth runs across a portfolio of international B2B events and B2C affiliate brands. You will own the operational delivery of every marketing project, the marketing calendars, performance reporting, data, martech and attribution, and budget governance. You are the link between Marketing and every other department, and the reason we deliver on time, on budget and on numbers.
Support the Marketing & Growth Director — Act as the Director's right hand on planning,priorities and performance. Prepare the reporting, budget views and updates the Director needs, follow through on decisions, and keep the wider team aligned and moving.
Own Delivery Across the Portfolio — Take ownership of how every marketing project gets delivered across events and affiliates: briefs, timelines, owners, dependencies and sign-off. Run the Marketing Calendars — Build and maintain the master marketing calendars across the event portfolio and affiliate brands, working back from event dates and launch windows, so the whole team can see what is coming, who owns it and when it is due.
Build One Version of the Truth — Own performance reporting end to end: dashboards, weekly and monthly reporting, campaign wrap-ups and post-event reports. Fix Data and Attribution — Own tracking, UTM governance, analytics and CRM data quality, and the attribution model. Run the Martech Stack — Own our marketing tools (including HubSpot, GA4, Looker Studio,



Supermetrics and monday.com): configuration, integrations, automations, licences and adoption. Govern the Budget — Own budget tracking, forecasting, spend and invoice logging, and reconciliation with Finance. Spot over- and under-spend early, and make sure every budget line has an owner and a reason.
Be the Link Between Departments — Run marketing request intake and prioritisation, own the team's operating rhythm (stand-ups, WIPs and retros), and keep Sales, Events, Content and Finance clear on what Marketing is doing and when.
You have run marketing operations at scale — Six or more years in marketing operations, growth operations or programme management. Ideally this includes multiple brands, events or a multi-channel agency.
You live in the data — You are fluent in GA4, tracking and attribution, dashboarding (Looker Studio or similar) and CRM (ideally HubSpot). You are commercially literate — You are comfortable with budgets, forecasts, cost per acquisition, ROI and ROAS, and you can defend a budget line or cut one.
com or a similar work-management tool.
Bonus — Experience in iGaming, events or affiliate marketing.
Flexibility that works for you – versátil working hours and a remote-friendly environment built on trust and ownership.
Genuinely exciting projects – be part of an ambitious, evolving business where there's always something new happening and opportunities to make an impact.
Room to grow – continuous learning and professional development opportunities, supported by NEXT Academy and other initiatives.
