Job Description

Are you at a point in your career where you want more ownership over strategy, direction and outcomes - not just delivery?




Do you enjoy leading people, shaping capability, and seeing a team succeed because of the environment you've created?




Are you commercially minded, client-focused, and motivated by building something that can genuinely grow?




Do you have a strong agency background across SEO, Paid Search and Paid Social, and are ready to take ownership of a digital marketing function?




We are presently looking for a Head of Digital Marketing to lead our digital marketing offering. This key role is responsible for the performance, direction and commercial success of our digital marketing division. It is a senior, hands-on leadership role where you'll balance strategic ownership with practical involvement - particularly in shaping campaigns, solving challenges and supporting the team.




You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business and act as the senior point of contact for major clients, ensuring quality, consistency and strong relationships at every touchpoint. You'll also help identify and develop opportunities to grow accounts and the wider digital offering.

What you'll bring;

Strong agency-side experience (essential) across SEO, Paid Search and Paid Social A proven ability to deliver high-performing digital campaigns and demonstrate commercial impact Experience managing, mentoring or leading people - or the readiness to step into a leadership role with confidence The credibility and communication skills to act as a senior client contact A collaborative, proactive mindset and the ability to thrive in a growing business

What makes this role different

This is not a purely strategic role, nor is it delivery-only. As a small but growing team, you'll have the opportunity to genuinely shape how things are done - from processes and standards to team development and client strategy. You'll have real influence over direction, supported by the talent, creativity and ambition of the wider atomic group. You'll be given genuine ownership and influence along with the opportunity to build, lead and scale a team as the business grows.




This is a rare opportunity to take genuine ownership of a digital marketing function within an ambitious, employee-owned agency.
