Department: Marketing
Location: Manchester
We are now looking for a Marketing Director to join our leadership team and play a pivotal role in shaping the firm's growth. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of our marketing and business development strategy, connecting it more directly than ever to our commercial objectives and future direction.
This is not a role focused on maintaining the status quo. We are looking for someone who will bring clarity, challenge, and fresh thinking, helping us to better articulate what makes us different and to convert that into measurable growth.
Please note: regular travel between all four of our office locations, including Cambridge, will be required.
Key Responsibilities
As Marketing Director, you will work closely with our CEO, partners and sector leads to define and deliver a marketing and business development approach that supports the firm’s long-term ambitions.
You will:
- Set and lead a firm-wide marketing and BD strategy aligned to our commercial goals
- Work alongside partners to strengthen client relationships and support the growth of key accounts
- Introduce greater structure and focus to client development and new business activity
- Oversee the evolution of our brand, profile and market positioning
- Use insight and data to inform decisions and demonstrate impact
- Lead and develop our established marketing team through the next phase of our journey
This is a leadership role with real visibility, requiring someone who can contribute beyond marketing and operate as a trusted voice within the business.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
You will bring experience from within a partnership or professional services environment and be comfortable operating in a business where relationships, credibility and influence matter.
You are likely to:
- Have held a senior marketing or business development role within legal or professional services
- Be commercially focused, with a clear understanding of how marketing drives growth
- Be confident working with partners and senior stakeholders, able to challenge constructively
- Have experience supporting client development and new business initiatives
- Be both strategic in your thinking and pragmatic in delivery
An interest in innovation, technology or intellectually driven sectors would complement our work well.
Benefits
We pride ourselves on being small and friendly enough for you to get to know everyone – but big enough to offer you great career prospects. At Appleyard Lees, you won't feel like a number or just another cog in the wheel. We understand everyone is individual and offer a friendly and supportive place to work and learn.
We also offer:
- 34 hour working week, Monday - Friday
- Agile working
- A supportive and friendly place to work and learn
- Annual salary review
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Holiday Purchase Scheme
- Salary Exchange
