Interim Head of Marketing - Not-For-Profit

An exciting time for an Interim Head of Marketing to join a Not-For-Profit business based in Hertfordshire.

The Marketing & Comms function for this organisation is in-between Directors. The last 6 months have seen a period of significant change to the team and upheaval to the 'marketing machine'. They now require an interim Head that is skilled at identifying and delivering on strategic process requirements whilst also demonstrating a high level of skill in communicating with, and motivating all stakeholders, including the Marketing team itself.

The objectives of the assignment are:

 Review and make recommendations on the organisation of the marketing function; does the current organisation deliver what is expected in terms of professionalising the function, whilst also ensuring that it can operate with the flexibility required to react to the changing needs of the business and provide the support required by all parts of the business? This review must also recognise the realities of the sector and the constraints under which they operate.

 Embed any organisational changes ensuring complete buy-in of the team and the wider business.

 Embed processes that ensure output of function is maximised in an ever-changing environment.

 Complete Digitisation trials, including delivery of content, QA and market launch of the five original products.

Person specification

In addition to having the required experience and knowledge to deliver the objectives of the assignment, the ideal person will need to fit in well with the culture. This requires a calm, level-headed, focussed leader and inspirer of people; someone who is able to understand our organisation, the customers and the role of the marketing function in the not-for-profit sector.

The ideal person will collaborate across the organisation, ensuring there is a good level of understanding and commitment towards changes and initiatives. They will understand how to mobilise a very busy team who have experienced upheaval.
