Marketing Manager - Stealth Startup · London · Full-time - Hybrid

About the Company

Our client is a well funded startup designing and manufacturing their own connected devices and rebuilding a traditional category from the ground up. They already have a live product in market, real revenue, and a strong balance sheet. This is not a "figure it out with no budget" situation.

The UK team is small, sharp, and growing fast. Everyone thinks deeply, moves quickly, and uses technology as a genuine competitive advantage. The culture is product led and brand obsessed about as far from old school corporate as you can get.

The Role

This is a generalist marketing manager role with a heavy bias for action. You'll be one of the first dedicated marketing hires in the UK, working directly alongside the UK lead and reporting into the founding team.

There is no exhaustive job spec. The brief is intentionally open. If that excites you, read on. If your first instinct is to ask for one, this probably isn't the right fit.

You'll own and contribute across:

Organic social and content creation
SEO strategy and AI-assisted content workflows
Influencer and creator partnerships
Pop-up retail and experiential activations
Out-of-home and ambient campaigns
Lifecycle, CRM and referral programmes
Affiliate and partnership marketing
PR and brand collaborations

About You

2–4 years of marketing experience, ideally in a consumer brand, DTC, or startup environment
Comfortable working with physical products, you understand that marketing something you can hold is different from marketing software
Digitally native, brand-aware, and a strong writer
High energy, low ego, you make things happen rather than waiting to be told what to do
AI-fluent or actively curious about using AI tools in your day-to-day
Based in or able to commute to London

This Role Is NOT Right For You If...

You need a detailed brief before you can get started
You're primarily a paid media or performance marketing specialist
You prefer clearly defined swim lanes and structured team environments
You're not genuinely excited by the product category

What's On Offer

A genuine opportunity to help build a marketing function from near-scratch
A well-funded, ambitious business with real product-market momentum
A team of exceptionally smart people who care deeply about what they're building
