Senior Marketing Manager

Senior Marketing Manager - Sports & Leisure | Manchester or London (Hybrid) | ClearCourse Permanent role | Competitive salary

Fancy leading marketing for an entire vertical, shaping strategy that spans multiple market-leading SaaS brands, and building the playbook other teams across the business will use?

ClearCourse is looking for a Senior Marketing Manager - Sports & Leisure to take the reins on marketing across our Golf SaaS brands and two Leisure SaaS brands. You'll effectively be the head of marketing for this vertical, working hand-in-hand with commercial directors to turn their targets into one coherent strategy and campaign calendar.

Requirements What you'll be doing This is a rare dual-mandate role — you won't just be chasing new business, you'll be protecting and growing what we've already built. With several membership-driven brands in the mix, both disciplines matter equally here:

Own the marketing strategy and campaign calendar across the Golf and Leisure brands, translating commercial targets into a plan brand directors trust

Drive new-business growth and demand generation, working alongside central Channel Excellence functions (PPC, SEO/GEO, Events)

Own retention and loyalty marketing across membership-driven brands — a genuine, equally-weighted priority alongside growth

Build group-wide blueprints for lifecycle, retention and loyalty marketing that other verticals across the business can adopt

Partner with product teams on positioning, messaging and launches, making sure go-to-market plans land commercially

Champion Adobe stack adoption (AEM, AJO, CJA) across your brands, working with MarTech colleagues to flag gaps and push for what's needed

Manage and develop a Marketing Executive, setting priorities and reviewing output against the strategy

What you'll bring

B2B SaaS marketing experience, ideally spanning membership-driven or subscription businesses

A genuine track record in both growth/demand generation and retention/loyalty marketing — this role needs both

Product marketing experience: positioning, messaging, and launch management

Comfort managing multiple brand stakeholders simultaneously, at pace

Some line management experience

A commercial mindset — you translate targets into plans people trust, and you're just as focused on keeping customers as winning them

Bonus points if you've got

AJO and AEM experience

Golf sector experience
