Job description

We’re on the lookout for a senior leader in performance marketing to shape how Virgin approaches marketing effectiveness & growth, media, and MarTech across the Group. You’ll lead marketing strategy, media planning and buying, measurement effectiveness, and marketing campaigns for the Virgin masterbrand and Virgin Red – professionalising how we optimise media and building enterprise-wide capability. This is a role for a strategic operator who’s equally comfortable influencing the C-suite and rolling up sleeves to deliver measurable impact.

Our Virgin Family

Join the Virgin Group – a diverse collective driving change, enhancing customer experience, and having a blast. We're daring, disrupting industries from finance to space, united as part of the Virgin Family.

Virgin Red and Virgin Management are the dynamic core of the Virgin brand. We reward our loyal customers with Virgin Points through an extensive partner network, nurture the Virgin brand globally across diverse industries like travel, health, and space, and champion customer-centric innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. Together, we unlock unique experiences, foster deep customer connections, and drive our purpose forward.

We’re a huge brand, but not a huge team, which means we take a hands-on approach while thinking strategically. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to get things done, making it an exciting and collaborative place to work.
