Interim Head of Marketing & Digital Growth

Job description

Are you an experienced digital and brand marketing leader who can step into a fast-paced consumer brand and provide structure and continuity during a maternity leave period?

Do you enjoy balancing hands-on execution with team leadership – keeping weekly trading on track, maintaining brand quality, and supporting performance channels to deliver results?

MacGregor Black is partnering with a high-growth consumer brand to appoint an Interim Head of Marketing & Digital Growth. This is a critical role focused on continuity, commercial performance, and calm, steady leadership across a multi-channel marketing function.

Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will guide the marketing organisation through a key period while maintaining momentum and a strong operational rhythm across digital, brand, and ecommerce touchpoints.

Key Responsibilities

• Own weekly trading performance across DTC and marketplaces, ensuring clear priorities and efficient execution.
• Support improvements in ROAS, ACOS, CAC and paid performance through disciplined weekly optimisation.
• Maintain momentum across Meta, Google Ads, TikTok Shop and Amazon, ensuring strong content, merchandising quality, and channel hygiene.
• Drive incremental improvements to onsite conversion and CRO in collaboration with Ecommerce & Product teams.
• Ensure consistent, benefits-led brand storytelling across all customer touchpoints.
• Oversee delivery of campaigns, creative workflows, and content for paid, social, CRM and marketplace channels.
• Maintain UGC, influencer and creator pipelines to support performance channels and key trading moments.
• Provide direction on brand guardianship without redefining the long-term strategy (unless clearly required).
• Provide clear, steady leadership to a multi-disciplinary team across brand, digital, CRM, creative, social and marketplaces.
• Support ongoing hiring and onboarding for in-progress roles.
• Strengthen team clarity, accountability and week-to-week cadence during the maternity cover period.
• Work closely with Finance, Operations, Product and Customer Service to align messaging, demand planning and trading priorities.
• Maintain strong forecasting communication with Finance and senior leadership.
• Improve visibility of KPIs, reporting clarity and operational processes where needed.
• Ensure agencies and external partners are aligned, briefed and delivering against expectations.

What We’re Looking For

• An experienced marketing leader with a background in DTC consumer brands, ideally product-led.
• Strong understanding of performance marketing, CRM, social, UGC, marketplaces and the interplay between creative and performance.
• Commercially minded, with experience influencing GMV, acquisition costs and trading efficiency.
• A structured operator who thrives on pace, clarity and organisation – especially during periods of transition.
• Comfortable balancing hands-on execution with team leadership, particularly in the first months.
• A confident communicator who can simplify complexity and keep teams aligned and moving.
• Experience with TikTok Shop and Amazon is highly advantageous.

Why Join?

• Play a pivotal interim role within a growing, globally minded consumer brand.
• Lead a talented marketing team through an important maternity cover period.
• Shape consistent customer messaging and support commercial performance across multiple channels.
• Join a collaborative environment where clarity, ownership and positive energy are core values.

If you are a confident interim marketing leader who can hit the ground running and support both brand and performance during a high-growth period, we’d love to hear from you.
