Marketing Manager

Permanent, full-time post (35 hours), based in Edinburgh

Starting salary £45,268 plus civil service pension, generous holiday entitlement, and other benefits

We are looking for an experienced and energetic Marketing Manager to join the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to build our new brand identity, strengthen our profile and develop our many audiences to deliver reach, reputation and revenue.

Working closely with the Garden’s income-generating teams, you will build on our reputation to optimise business opportunities for the Botanics Trading Company and proactively drive revenue, as well as working closely with fundraising colleagues on marketing campaigns that support our charitable objectives.

This is an exciting time to join the team and we have recently launched a new brand identity, a modern look-and-feel for the future which will help to guide the organisation in the coming years.  You will act as a brand guardian, protecting and enhancing our brand and supporting colleagues on implementation, messaging and compliance.

You will work collaboratively with the Head of Marketing and Communications and other colleagues across the organisation to devise strategic brand marketing campaigns that communicate our new vision to build a positive future for plants, people and the planet, and that help to meet annual corporate goals.

You will be part of a busy department, which is responsible for all aspects of marketing, communication, digital and publishing, and that supports the organisation’s marketing needs across learning and engagement, admissions, philanthropy, science and horticulture.

A track record in brand marketing and demonstrable commercial acumen are essential.  Experience of working in a similar environmental or charitable organisation is desirable. A recruitment pack outlining the key responsibilities of the post, can be found on our website. 

Although we see this as a full-time role, applications will also be considered from candidates looking to work on a part-time basis.
