WePioneer is a brave, young brand and creative consultancy. We are shaking off the traditional agency rules and creating a new, agile model from the ground up. One that harnesses the strength of a diverse portfolio of exceptional independent consultants, creatives and strategists, all focused on impact and grounded in shared values.

We’ve stripped out the processes and hierarchies to focus on the client’s problem first. And drawing from our hub of independent talent we curate our teams and bring together just the right skillsets and mindsets at the right time to tackle the brief and help our clients go further, faster.

Our approach has powered our rapid growth and we’re really excited to be hiring an ambitious Marketing and New Business Manager to develop our profile and further accelerate our development.  This role is central to the next phase of growth and you will work closely with the CEO to refine the strategy and be solely responsible for leading the charge on all marketing activity for the business.

We’re at a really exciting stage and there is huge potential for the right person to develop at pace.

So, if you’re naturally proactive, always one step ahead and ambitious to take the lead, read on…

Tell me more

This role is for someone who really wants to make their mark. You will be the first person to take the reins on our Marketing effort and you will have a huge opportunity to shape the profile of the business and super charge its growth in the coming years.

You will be someone who has a really tight grip on Marketing and loves to crack on and get stuff done. But you are also fired up about what we do. You love brands and are fascinated by how they are built and the impact they can have in the world.

There are two main parts to the role: building the WePioneer brand and being the engine for our growth.  They are both inextricably linked.

We have a really clear vision about the future of the business and the role it has to play in the world. However, we are still young and have lots to do to build our profile in the industry and bang the drum about the work we do and everything we believe in. You will team up closely with the CEO to define and shape the brand we want to build and get it out into the world to attract and excite potential clients as well as the independent creatives, strategists and consultants that we want to collaborate with.

The generation of qualified leads is also absolutely central to this role. You will have ownership over the strategy for growth, working directly with the CEO on initiatives and campaigns to nurture opportunities with our dream clients.

We’re carving a new path and we’re moving at pace. We expect you to have an entrepreneurial spirit and creative energy that gets you really excited about creating new opportunities and driving significant change. In return, our promise to you is that you’ll be working in an incredibly supportive environment with a tight, friendly but ambitious team. We’ll offer you mentorship and training and, importantly, the freedom to try new things.

This role could be part time, if appropriate.

Why join us

Business can drive meaningful change, but in a rapidly shifting world, good work needs to happen at pace.

We believe the traditional agency model can no longer keep up. Proprietary processes, fixed teams and lengthy lists of services slow things down and keep the focus on what the agency can offer the client, not on what the client truly needs.  

Our approach is laser focused on the client’s challenge. We build bespoke teams, working with high performing independent talent to bring the right heads into the problem at the right time. The result is better work that helps brands get to where they need to be faster.

We are young and ambitious. But we’re not about growth at all costs. We believe businesses should be built for long term, sustainable impact. That goes for our clients’ as well as our own. This mindset is built on our emerging culture of kindness, honesty and relentless energy and curiosity about how we could do things better. We have big plans, including starting on the B Corp journey, and have plenty to do. The time is right to come and join us – we’d love to get you involved.
