Design Manager, Marketing

Design Manager, Marketing Fully Remote (Europe) | High-growth SaaS / Product-led Tech Candidates must be based in the EU or UK. We're working with a fast-growing, product-led technology company that's building an in-house creative studio with a very different brief: operate like a high-performing agency, not a traditional internal team. They need a Marketing Design Manager to help scale the creative and operational engine behind the marketing function across campaigns, lifecycle, paid, CRM, social, product marketing and sales enablement. This is not a pure brand role. It is also not a “make it look nice” role. It sits at the intersection of marketing design, growth and lifecycle marketing, systems thinking and hands-on creative execution. The kind of role where you're as proud of the workflow you built as the campaign that ran through it. What you'll be doing Leading marketing creative across paid, CRM/lifecycle, social, campaigns and sales enablement, while ensuring output stays consistently strong at pace Building scalable workflows, templates and modular systems that improve how creative gets produced, adapted and iterated Working closely with growth and performance teams to evolve creative based on testing, engagement and campaign data Helping prioritise and allocate creative output across the wider marketing design function Mentoring designers while remaining highly hands-on yourself Improving how the internal team operates as the business scales internationally What they're looking for Someone who has genuinely operated inside a fast-moving startup or scale-up, not just visited one. You'll know what it feels like when systems do not exist yet and you have to build them while the work keeps coming.

Beyond that: Strong hands-on craft across lifecycle, CRM, paid, social and multi-channel campaigns Real experience collaborating with growth, demand gen or performance marketing teams, not just sitting adjacent to them Strong operational and systems thinking: workflows, templates, scalable design infrastructure and creative velocity Commercial awareness and comfort inside performance-led environments where creative decisions are tested and iterated constantly Ability to bring structure and raise the bar without needing heavy direction or coaching Comfortable operating autonomously across growth, lifecycle, systems and cross-functional marketing execution Experience mentoring, guiding or leading designers within high-output environments Ideal backgrounds You're probably currently operating as a: Marketing Design Lead Growth Design Lead Creative Lead Brand Systems Lead Marketing Design Manager inside a high-growth SaaS, fintech or product-led environment.
