Head of Digital Marketing

**About Us**:
We are The Cornish Company and we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Head of Digital Marketing to lead our marketing efforts. With a focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) campaigns and paid advertising across various platforms, we are looking for someone with a proven track record in driving successful digital marketing strategies.

The Cornish Company is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in the U.K., established back in November 2020. We are now transitioning out of the startup phase and into a more mature organisation. Our mission is simple: to build a platform that will showcase everything that is great about Cornwall, with a strong emphasis on the food and drink for which Cornwall is well known. Our north star goal is to bring Cornwall’s finest to the global stage.

**What the role will look like**:
You will become a vital part of a rapidly expanding company transitioning from its startup phase into a more mature organisation. In this role, you'll collaborate closely with the Founders & Managing Director, working alongside them to shape the company's future. Initially, your role will be hands-on as you take the lead in assembling a team of creatives. As you assemble the team, you'll devise a comprehensive digital strategy for the future. Leveraging your team's strengths, you'll orchestrate the execution of this strategy.

While our marketing team establishes itself, the position will primarily be office-based; however, we anticipate transitioning to a more hybrid work environment in due course. Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing all paid media activity and other marketing initiatives within the business. You'll continuously test and refine campaigns, providing direct reports to the Managing Director.

You'll embrace the opportunity to work closely with senior management on a daily basis, unfazed by the prospect. Your pivotal role will involve spearheading the company's growth trajectory, with your insights and opinions highly esteemed across all facets of the organisation

Above all, your attitude is exceptional. Possessing a determined "get the job done" mindset, you're dependable and reliable whenever the need arises. The company's mission ignites an unparalleled excitement within you, motivating you to unleash your creativity daily. You'll witness firsthand the direct influence your contributions will wield on the business, and you'll receive considerable recognition for your efforts.
