Marketing Manager – Automotive
£35,000 + Enhanced Pension
Location: LE8
Looking for a role where you can truly take ownership of a marketing function and put your creative and commercial stamp on things?
We’re recruiting a Marketing Manager for a well-established and growing automotive business with an international footprint. If you're a B2B marketing all-rounder with strong campaign and content skills, this could be a great next step.
The Role
You’ll be the go-to person for all things marketing, leading and delivering the full mix – from strategy and campaign creation to content, events, and brand execution.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll work closely with sales, product, and leadership teams to build awareness, support product growth, and help drive the commercial strategy across Europe and North America.
You’ll also manage a talented in-house designer and work with external partners to execute projects that get results.
What You’ll Be Doing:


  • Leading the planning, creation, and execution of multi-channel campaigns (email, PR, print, digital, social)

  • Overseeing product launches, managing product lifecycles, and preparing sales performance data

  • Creating and managing the marketing budget and advertising plan

  • Crafting persuasive and informative copy across all formats – from brochures and emails to videos and social media

  • Managing social media channels (especially LinkedIn), ensuring brand consistency and engagement

  • Organising and attending trade exhibitions in Europe and North America

  • Monitoring competitor activity and delivering marketing insight to the wider business

  • Supporting brand development, packaging, and visual identity projects

  • Liaising with editors and media contacts to maximise press coverage

What’s in it for you?


  • £35,000 salary

  • Enhanced pension contributions

  • 20 days holiday, increasing each year to 25 days + bank holidays

  • Autonomy to shape the marketing function and influence business direction

  • The chance to join a business with global reach, ambitious plans, and a genuinely supportive culture

What We’re Looking For:


  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar role – either as a Marketing Manager or a senior B2B marketing exec ready to step up

  • A solid understanding of B2B marketing with strong skills across digital, content, and brand

  • Great copywriting and communication skills – confident writing for email, web, PR, and print

  • Strong project management and the ability to juggle multiple priorities

  • Someone who can lead, but isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in

  • Experience organising exhibitions and managing agency relationships is a bonus

UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Platforms & Technologies to Learn Now

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are no longer just military assets—they're transforming agriculture, infrastructure inspection, logistics, filmmaking, and public safety. As commercial drone operations scale in the UK, the demand for skilled UAV professionals is rising sharply across engineering, flight operations, data analysis, and autonomous systems. Welcome to the UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the tools, platforms, certifications, and technologies that are shaping UAV careers in the UK. Whether you're a drone pilot, systems engineer, or AI developer working on autonomous navigation, this radar shows you what to focus on to remain in-demand.

How to Find Hidden UAV Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, RAeS & More

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are transforming industries in the UK—from surveying, inspection, and agriculture to emergency services, logistics, and defence. As the sector evolves, so too does the demand for skilled UAV professionals: pilots, systems engineers, data analysts, AI specialists, and regulatory experts. Yet many of the best UAV jobs—especially in R&D, government contracts, and specialist commercial operations—are never advertised publicly. They’re often filled through trusted networks, working group referrals, pilot programmes, and specialist community engagement. In this guide, you’ll discover how to access hidden UAV jobs in the UK by engaging with professional bodies like the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), APRIL (UK), and regional drone networks. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, special interest groups (SIGs), and industry clusters to position yourself at the forefront of opportunity—before roles are even published.

How to Get a Better UAV Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology can be disheartening—especially in such a cutting-edge and evolving sector. But with the growing adoption of UAVs in defence, surveying, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and emergency response, your skills remain in demand. Whether you're a drone pilot, UAV systems engineer, geospatial analyst, flight software developer, or mechanical integrator, this guide will help you bounce back stronger after redundancy.
