platform, built in-house, that runs all of it

We are the outsourced marketing department for around a dozen UK restaurant brands. Clients hitting £100k weeks, videos past 20 million views, number one spots on Trip Advisor. Behind that sits Slate, our own operating platform, and an AI-heavy stack that runs scheduling, client portals and per-client agents.

This role is the Creative Director's right hand, and the last pair of eyes before anything reaches a client. She owns the creative. Our Marketing Operations Lead owns the systems and the technical build. You own the month: what goes out and when, that it is right, and that the client feels looked after the whole way through.

So there are two halves. One is quality: nothing reaches a client that you have not checked yourself, and nothing goes out late. The other is the relationship. When a client messages, you are who answers. When they ask for something, you are who turns it into a brief the team can build from. When a cut comes back, you are who watches it properly first.

This is a dynamic, fast moving role that changes week to week. As a fast growing agency, sometimes there is not a playbook, which means we are looking for someone who is excited by change and ready to get stuck in. What does not change is the high quality standard we hold ourselves to. We are meticulous, and that is why we get results.

Now we are looking for a marketing expert who cares about detail, delivery and customer experience just as much as we do.

• Be the last check before a client sees anything: cuts, captions, covers, links, automations, dates. If it is wrong, it stops with you.
• Own a portfolio of clients day to day: the relationship, the month ahead, and the experience of working with us
• Run the content schedule across that portfolio: pieces prepped, covers chosen, dates set, nothing going out unchecked or late
• Turn what a client asks for into a brief the creative team can build from without coming back to you for the missing half
• Review and approve cuts before they reach a client, and give editors feedback specific enough to act on
• Run monthly check-in calls, and know your clients well enough to say what should change next month
• Keep each client's DM and comment automations accurate and tested
  · our Marketing Operations Lead builds them, you are the one who checks they still say the right thing for that brand
• Support the Creative Director so her time goes on creative and shoots rather than admin

• Take a brief, confirm it back in a few lines, then deliver it end to end
• Handle client Whats App and email yourself, in our voice, without needing every message checked first
• Click every link, test-message every flow, and attach the evidence when you report it done
• Comment on and approve editor cuts, chase the revisions, keep the pipeline moving so nothing sits waiting on you
• Run casting where a shoot needs it: the call, the emails, the coordination
• Coordinate production days, and be the calm one when a shoot day moves
• Notice when a client's own information is wrong or out of date, and say so rather than copying it forward
• Escalate anything you are stuck on inside 30 minutes, with what you have already ruled out
• Close each day in your own words: what shipped, what is verified, what is blocked, tomorrow’s one priority
• Keep everything in Slate. It is the one system of record, and priorities live there the moment they are agreed

• Paid trial before anything permanent
  · one to two weeks on real work at the full rate. Execution does not show up on a CV.
• Definition of Done here = verified outcome plus evidence, every…
