Senior Marketing Manager

Some people are naturally drawn to our customer facing teams. Some think ‘back office’ is where it all happens. At Skipton, we'd say the magic is in how the two work together.

About the role

Job introduction

Please note this role requires a minimum of 3 days per week to be worked from Head Office in Skipton, North Yorkshire.

The salary for this role is in the region of £55,000 dependent on skills and experience.

As our Senior Marketing Manager for our Homes business, you’ll turn business priorities into clear, joined-up B2B marketing plans that make a measurable difference. Like most lenders, a high proportion of lending comes from mortgage brokers, and you’ll be responsible for executing on plans that educate and engage this audience, bringing people together and making informed decisions about where we focus our time and investment.

This is a role with real breadth. You’ll move between strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, using insight and performance to guide decisions and working across teams to turn plans into action. You won’t have direct reports, but you’ll lead through your expertise, relationships and influence and will be responsible for setting day to day work of other team members.

At Skipton, we're founded on fairness. We exist to do right by our members - and we believe that starts with doing right by our people. So whoever you are and whatever you bring, there's a place for you here and a genuine plan for where you go next.

What You’ll Do

We don't ask for brokers' attention. We earn it, one campaign, one conversation, one idea at a time. Join our Marketing team and you'll help shape how mortgage brokers see us, what they think about us, and why we're the lender they choose for their clients. Working hand-in-hand with our Business Development teams, you'll create marketing that builds relationships, drives engagement and keeps Skipton front of mind in a competitive market. It takes a team with real energy, ambition and commercial focus to make that happen, and that's exactly what you'd be joining.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading Homes marketing B2B campaigns, budgets and activity from planning through to delivery, making sure activity is delivered effectively.
  • Manage trade advertising and sourcing partner relationships, including negotiating, planning and building relationships.
  • Using data and insight to develop more personalised broker communications, identifying opportunities to make our marketing more relevant and efficient.
  • Embed the Let's Find a Way broker proposition across all activity, ensuring it is consistently brought to life through campaigns, content, events and communications.
  • undefinedMonitoring campaign performance using insight to continually improve activity, understanding what’s working and where we can make a greater impact.

What You’ll Need

  • B2B marketing experience within a regulated environment, with a good understanding of how to engage and communicate effectively with business audiences.
  • An understanding of broker marketing, including the needs of broker audiences and how we can communicate with them effectively.
  • Experience of leading marketing campaigns, taking activity from planning through to delivery and keeping things on track.
  • Strong relationship management and leadership skills, with ability to collaborate at all levels and influence internal and external stakeholders.
  • A commercially focused mindset, with the judgement to prioritise, make decisions and balance competing needs.
  • Confidence using insight, data and performance information to shape decisions and improve marketing effectiveness.

What’s In It For You

Your work matters.

And the way we reward you matters, too.

At Skipton, we offer pay and benefits that really do make life better, together with a genuine thank you for making a difference.

  • Annual discretionary bonus scheme
  • 25 days standard annual leave + bank holidays + rising 1 day per year of service to a max of 30 days
  • Matching employer pension contribution (up to 10% per annum)
