· Build strong working relationships and act as a trusted planning partner to Heads and Directors.
· Enable teams to focus on delivery by providing clarity, structure and coordination.
· Collaboration and briefing of media agency, creative and external partners to ensure visibility and understanding of priorities
People management
· Accountable for team development and line management of Senior Marketing Effectiveness Officer, including career development, performance reviews.
· Ensure outputs from Senior Marketing Effectiveness Officer are translated into strategy and activated in delivery.
Key Outputs
· Respected ownership of a single, trusted marketing plan and calendar actively used across the organisation.
· Effective, well-timed campaigns and clearer prioritisation.
· Improved confidence from senior leaders in marketing decision-making.
· Proactive planning and increased scheduling of external activity that makes the most of brand halo effect.
· Cross organisational planning forums that enable decisions.
What we are looking for:
· Significant experience leading multi-channel marketing or communications planning across multiple teams or functions.
· Strong understanding and experience of marketing planning frameworks, campaign cycles, and processes that support integrated delivery.
· Experience developing and implementing planning tools such as calendars, tiering frameworks, briefing processes, and governance systems.
· Demonstrable project management and organisational skills, with proven ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
· Experience of facilitating cross-functional collaboration and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
· Experience managing complex workloads and bringing clarity and structure in fast-paced environments
· Highly organised, able to create systems and processes that others can easily adopt.

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words.
