Job Description

Group Marketing & Events Manager

Tiny Cup Collective - Edinburgh

Tiny Cup Collective is an independent hospitality group operating multiple venues across Edinburgh, including bars, retail, and trade. Each venue has its own identity, audience, and trading rhythm - but all rely on smart, well-executed marketing to stay busy and relevant.

We're looking for a

Group Marketing & Events Manager

to take full ownership of marketing delivery and events across the group.

This role exists because we have no shortage of ideas but we need someone who can take those ideas and

turn them into real campaigns, events, and activations

, while also bringing strong ideas of their own.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be in venues, working with managers, dealing with brand partners, and making things happen. If you're looking for a remote, content-only marketing role, this won't be the right fit.

This role has a strong creative element. Alongside events and delivery, you'll be hands-on with

design, content creation, and shaping how our brands look and sound

. You don't need to be a pure designer, but you should be comfortable creating and owning creative output yourself.

What the role is really about

At its core, this role is about

delivery

.

You'll be responsible for:

Turning ideas and direction into clear plans, promotion, and execution Creating a consistent marketing rhythm across all venues Working closely with selected brand partners to deliver events and activations Making sure good ideas don't stall due to lack of time, coordination, or ownership
You'll also be trusted to originate your own ideas.

Venues you'll cover

Crybaby St Vincent Nightcap Nip's (retail & trade)
Each venue is different. Part of the job is knowing what suits where, and when.

Key responsibilities

Turning ideas into action

Take ideas from the owners (often informal or half-formed) and turn them into plans, timelines, assets, promotion, delivery, and review. Own follow-through so things actually go live.

Events, activations & brand partnerships

Act as the day-to-day contact for selected brand partners. Plan and deliver events, tastings, launches, and activations. Coordinate with venue managers to ensure events are operationally sound. Own event promotion, scheduling, and post-event review.

Marketing output & coordination

Own and maintain a group-wide marketing calendar. Manage and schedule social media content across all venues. Ensure the right venue is promoting the right thing at the right time.

Content & creative management

Brief and coordinate our retained photographer and designer. Ensure content is planned, delivered, published, and followed through. Maintain brand tone and consistency while respecting each venue's identity. Create and publish social content yourself (visual, video, and copy) Design posters, menus, event assets, and in-venue materials (Canva is fine; Adobe a bonus) Help shape and maintain each venue's look, tone, and brand voice Brief and manage external creatives when needed, but not rely on them for everything

In-venue marketing & guest journey

Own posters, menus, table talkers, QR flows, and event listings. Ensure guests know what's on while they're in the venue.

Digital presence & reputation

Manage and respond to Google reviews and similar platforms. Maintain a confident, consistent public-facing voice. Flag recurring feedback to venue managers where relevant.
