Marketing Manager - Raw Selection

Location: Leeds, UK
Salary: £35k to £45k Basic + OTE £40k to £55k

Join Raw Selection - An Executive Search Firm

Raw Selection is a genuine executive search firm located in Leeds City Centre that works exclusively with Private Equity firms to secure executive talent. Our Founder, Alex Rawlings, built the business with one goal—to become the No.1 executive search firm in Private Equity, and we need your help to achieve that.

We're looking for an ambitious, career-focused Marketing Manager to take full ownership of our marketing strategy and execution. We are not talking about social media posting and blog writing; we already have 350,000+ downloads on our podcast, 2300+ YouTube subscribers, and a custom-built industry-leading CRM on the Salesforce platform, to name a few things.

Raw Selection has invested heavily in marketing since its founding in 2017, inspired by the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk and Jay Abraham. We want to take our marketing to the next level, and we need you to help us do so.

What's in It for You?

✅ Ownership & Impact - You'll have full responsibility for our marketing strategy, execution, and results.
✅ No Bureaucracy - We're not a corporate dinosaur, and you won't be stuck in endless approval loops, if its edgy we will likely want to do it.
✅ Serious Growth Potential - As we scale, so will your career.
✅ High-Performance Culture - Work with an ambitious team that supports and pushes each other.

The Mission

The mission of the Marketing Manager is simple - own the marketing function and drive growth.

This means:
📌 Building Brand Awareness - Strengthening our presence across our podcast, YouTube, book, and other channels.
📌 Driving Candidate & Client Engagement - Creating a best-in-class experience that attracts and retains top talent and clients.
📌 Lead Generation - Partnering with the sales team to generate new business and clients.
📌 Marketing Strategy & Execution - Taking ownership, tracking performance, and continuously optimising.
📌 Efficiency & Automation - Finding ways to automate, delegate, and optimise marketing tasks.
📌 Leadership - Our standards in leadership are incredibly high, we demand feedback from the team on how we can improve and for an experienced people manager the opportunity is here to lead.
