Senior Marketing & Business Development Manager £75-£80,000 + performance bonus + new business win commissions 35 hr/week London/Hybrid Is it the end of an era or an opportunity for change? It's a bit like the glass half-empty question Our longstanding Head of all things Marketing is leaving Goodman Jones after 11 years with the firm. A lot has changed during that time the accountancy landscape for one, with the rise of equity-backed 'challenger firms' creating brilliant opportunities for people-centric, mid-sized businesses like ours. Although we're sad to see Catriona go, you'll know (as a marketing professional) that this is also a huge opportunity. A chance for a fresh pair of eyes to look at our Marketing & BD strategy, budgets, use of AI and tech, campaign approach, internal comms the works. We're 12 Partners and over 100 staff supporting businesses across multiple sectors and sizes, each with a different approach and different demands. The interesting part is attracting new clients from this fascinating mix: international businesses, charities and NFPs, creative industries, property developers, hotel chains, PFIs, and professional practices. It's complex, but never boring. You'll be creating plans and ideas to support the growth of not only the business (and the bottom line), but also the GJ team. We have ambitious Managers and Directors who want to get more involved in networking, business development, and supporting the GJ brand. Part of your role will be developing their marketing capabilities and helping them build their profiles and portfolios, think of it as building your own internal marketing champions. Are we expecting a lot? Yes, if we're being honest. We're looking for someone who loves both digital and offline marketing, who's creative and knowledgeable about the power of social platforms, video, tech and AI. Someone who listens to Partners' goals and works with them to create impactful marketing and BD strategies. (Also - a big bonus if you like analytics and can persuade and convince using an accountant's favourite thing numbers. You'll be measuring everything and proving ROI at every turn.) You won't be doing this alone, or all at once, you're a Senior Marketing Professional not a Magician! You'll have the support of two external consultants who know GJ well, access to developers, a healthy marketing budget to make things happen, the potential to grow an in-house team perhaps with interns or apprentices, and most importantly, the support of Esther - one of our Partners who oversees Marketing & BD.

You're not starting from scratch; you're taking the reins of something valuable and making it even better. The opportunity to make an impact at Goodman Jones is HUGE. You'd be taking the baton from someone who knows the people and client sectors inside out. About you To cut to the chase, professional services experience is a must for us (Accounts, Law, Consultants, Financial Planning, Property Advisors etc). And we are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who've worked not just in professional services, but within a Partnership environment. The challenge isn't just B2B, it's attracting businesses from all sectors and sizes, from charities and NFPs to investment firms, hotel chains, fintechs and large family businesses - but also appealing to individuals and influencers. It's a complex mix. Experience of this is a huge plus. Ideally, you'll have worked within an LLP or partnership structure and understand the unique dynamics of partner-led businesses. You'll need strong influencing skills and the confidence to advise senior stakeholders - think diplomatic but decisive. Someone who thrives on variety and can juggle multiple campaigns, sectors, and partner priorities without dropping balls. A natural coach who enjoys developing others' marketing capabilities alongside your own strategic work. Strategic input will be high up on the list of topics during interviews, as will still being happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in initially. Happy to be hands-on from day one this isn't a pure strategy role where you delegate everything. A formal marketing qualification isn't required. If you have the experience, attitude and enthusiasm - that's enough for us. Our Recruitment Process Because we value expertise at Goodman Jones, we want our recruitment process to reflect our values too. This is a business-critical hire for us and we want to make sure it's a great match on both sides.

We know that if you're actively job hunting at this level, a presentation won't come as a surprise. All final-stage candidates (we're aiming for 2-3) will be asked to present on a specific topic.
