Role Purpose
 
We are looking for a commercially minded Marketing Manager to build a repeatable, scalable new‑business pipeline.

  • Content planning and coordination (LinkedIn, insights, case studies)
  • Manage outsourced suppliers and freelancers
  • Maintain and optimise Pipedrive CRM
  • Build structured lead nurturing campaigns
  • Track every prospect interaction and next step
  • Qualify & prepare prospects before meetings
  • Post‑meeting follow‑ups and long‑term relationship nurturing
  • Email marketing and marketing automation
  • Reporting on pipeline health and forecasts
 
 
Key Skills & Experience
  • B2B marketing experience (agency or professional services ideal)
  • Strong CRM experience (Pipedrive, HubSpot, or similar)
  • Comfortable writing business‑focused communications
  • Organised and process‑driven
  • Able to manage suppliers and hold them accountable
  • Commercial awareness — understands how agencies win work
Working Arrangement
  • Based in or near Bideford
  • Flexible hours
  • Part‑time (approx. 2-4 days per week in the office)
First 90 Days Expectations
  • Audit current pipeline and CRM
  • Clean and structure Pipedrive
  • Implement a nurture cadence for all prospects
  • Create reporting dashboard
  • Establish monthly pipeline targets
