Marketing Director

Founded in 2005 after falling in love with the food of this beautiful region of the world, this husband and wife team have led and scaled this unique, aspirational restaurant brand, and 17 years later, they have a group of restaurants dotted around the country, serving great value, healthy food that’s cooked fresh in each kitchen daily. They pride themselves on not being a corporate chain, they are a family-run business, and want this to shine through in everything they do – from the food they cook, to the teams they employ and train, to the way they greet and engage with all their customers. Reporting to the Managing Director and sitting on the leadership team, the Director of Marketing will lead all marketing activities from social media and digital campaigns to advertising and creative projects, ensuring that they are operating in line with the Company’s overall strategy and culture. Whilst it’s important to have a clear strategy for the marketing function, they operate in a very non-corporate way, and don’t take themselves too seriously, so the chosen candidate should reflect this at every turn. With big expansion plans in new cities, you will be driving awareness to new audiences and building upon their already strong online community – something that is central to the brand.
