Marketing Manager – Guildford
An opportunity has arisen to be part of a small but growing team at our clients agency, a Personal Branding agency that operates a remote model. The agency are looking to appoint a Marketing Manager to join the team to help in their ambitious plans to scale and grow over the next few years and expand their client portfolio in the service-based sectors both with agencies and corporate clients.
