Marketing Manager

You 

For the right marketing manager, The Pond Recruitment Agency is offering the opportunity to grow with the business, earn financial rewards and ultimately make this role your own. 

We are looking for an ambitious and talented intermediate-level marketing manager who has a minimum of 4 years experience in a similar role. This person may be looking for a change from Agency-land or the corporate world - yet still wants to work alongside the greater creative, digital, and marketing industries.
