Marketing Director Jobs

Attributes of a Marketing Director

Marketing Directors reach the top of their game because their creative minds and commercial acumen will have delivered tangible results throughout their careers. Marketing Director jobs go to the very best ideas people - individuals who have made a mark in their given sector, for instance in FMCG brand manufacturing, retail or banking. The best will be head-hunted across the sector divides. Good Marketing Directors will be competent at managing major budgets, leading large teams and overseeing ground-breaking marketing campaigns, achieving genuine sales development. The high profile nature of the job means most Marketing Directors will be charismatic, highly articulate and willing to speak to the media to promote the brand externally.

Key Responsibilities of a Marketing Director

The main day-to-day tasks of a Marketing Director include deciding on direct and ‘above the line’ marketing activities, in line with agreed budgets, commissioning market research, analysing historic sales data and current consumer trends, developing ideas for promotions and new products, liasing with the company’s sales and finance divisions, and communicating regularly with third party advertising and marketing agencies. Marketing Directors will be vocal at Board meetings, making the case for budgetary needs, and demonstrating ROI (return on investment) of marketing campaigns, using detailed sales data.

Inside the Job

In recent years there has been a shift in marketing spend from purely mass media branding efforts, to targeted, direct response marketing, as well as online campaigns, such as viral marketing and reaching consumers through social networks. Today’s Marketing Directors will need to be ‘new media‘-savvy and prepared to take their company beyond traditional marketing territory in line with these fast-evolving channels. Top-level marketers are under growing pressure to prove the value of their campaigns.
