Make your mark as a Brand Strategy Manager in the Creative & Marketing sector, based in Manchester.
Manchester’s Creative & Marketing scene has grown into one of the strongest outside London, and brands operating here need people who can think beyond the next campaign. This is an established SME with a growing footprint, the kind of place where a Brand Strategy Manager gets real ownership rather than a seat at the back of a big machine. You’ll shape how the business positions itself across a competitive market, working closely with people who’ve built something and want to build it further.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Developing brand strategy and positioning across multiple client accounts or business units
- Translating market research and consumer insight into practical brand direction
- Briefing creative and content teams, then holding the line on brand consistency
- Presenting strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders and clients
- Tracking brand performance and adjusting strategy when the data says so
- Managing timelines and budgets across several brand projects at once
Here are the skills you’ll need:
- Proven experience in brand strategy, marketing strategy, or a closely related discipline
- Strong analytical skills, comfortable reading research and turning it into a story
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including presenting to senior audiences
- A good eye for creative work and the judgement to know when it’s off-brief
- Confidence managing multiple projects and stakeholders without dropping the ball
- Commercial awareness. You understand that strategy has to make money, not just look good
Key perks and benefits:
- £34,000 to £50,000, depending on experience
- Hybrid working, with flexibility built around how the team actually operates
- Private medical insurance and pension contribution
- Annual leave that respects a proper work-life balance
- Genuine professional development opportunities as the company continues to grow
Why pursue a career in Creative & Marketing?
Creative & Marketing is one of the few sectors where strategic thinking and creative instinct have to work together, and that combination keeps demand high for people who can do both. Manchester has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with agencies and brand-led businesses competing for strong strategic talent. A Brand Strategy Manager who delivers results here won’t struggle for options later.
