An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Marketing Manager with niche sector experience gained working for a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CMDO). The Marketing Manager will be the subject matter expert for this category within the close knit, growing marketing function. They’ve just received significant investment to grow their customer base in Drug Delivery, focusing on North America.


This newly created role will be based in their Bristol office on a hybrid working basis with additional flexibility. Ideally you’ll be able to come to the office 2 days per week, however, as this is such a niche role, candidates who can come to the office a couple of times a month will also be considered. A 4-day week is also a possibility.


Reporting to the Global Marketing Director and working closely with the US Sales teams and Chief Commercial Officer, the Marketing Manager will join an industry-leading, international team, focusing on the US market, but also working across Europe and Malaysia. You’ll play a key role in helping grow their global reputation for delivering fast, flexible and responsive end-to-end solutions for pioneering Pharma and Drug Delivery businesses.


What you’ll be doing


The Marketing Manager will develop and execute strategic marketing campaigns targeting pharmaceutical and drug delivery businesses, with services tailored to distinct stages of a product journey.


What experience you’ll need to apply


  • Previous experience in a Marketing Manager role or similar, with niche expertise working for another Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CMDO) is essential. Unfortunately, a more generalist Healthcare sector background is not enough for this one.
  • Ability to oversee and produce marketing communications and content with a good understanding of CMDOs.
  • Strong understanding of the challenges and processes faced by CMDOs / Drug Delivery companies to take products to market.
  • Experienced with B2B marketing campaign development and management – ideally to a global audience and tailoring marketing strategies to different regions and markets.
  • Familiarity with marketing automation tools and CRM platforms is desirable – you’ll work alongside an experienced CRM Manager with strong technical and analytical skills.
  • Excellent campaign delivery / project management skills.
  • Digital marketing channels and tools to include email marketing platforms, social media (ideally LinkedIn), and performance monitoring tools.
  • Experience of event management, including trade shows is a nice to have.
  • Ability to get hands on at times – helping craft content targeting pharmaceutical and drug delivery businesses through a variety of channels.
  • A data-driven approach to campaign planning – using insights and adjust strategies to improve campaign performance.


What you’ll get in return for your experience?


  • Competitive salary in the region of £55k depending on experience. For the right candidate, a 4 day week will be considered too. If you’re the perfect fit and the salary doesn’t quite match, please do enquire for an off the record chat.
  • A dynamic and fast-paced work environment in a growing, global company.
  • Opportunities for career advancement and professional development.
  • Private healthcare for you and your family.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
  • Plus other great benefits
