About Granger Reis

Granger Reis is a specialist executive search and advisory firm focused on the organisations that resource, build and connect the world. We operate in a small number of markets where judgement matters more than volume, and long-term relationships matter more than transactions. Our work sits at the centre of industries that shape infrastructure, energy and the global economy. The leadership decisions we influence have long term consequences for organisations, people and the planet. The business has recently simplified its structure, strengthened its positioning and aligned around a clearer strategic direction. The next phase is execution.

The Role:

This is a strategic and hands-on marketing position, ideal for a seasoned marketer with strong B2B experience and a background in professional services. Working directly with the Head of Business Operations, you will be responsible for delivering and evolving a marketing strategy that enhances brand visibility, drives client engagement, and positions the business as a true specialist in the executive search space.

Responsibilities:

• Own and deliver the 2026/2027 marketing plan across defined workstreams:
• Brand refresh and implementation
• Internal enablement and adoption of the new brand
• Website build and launch
• Content strategy that builds authority with senior audiences, including flagship initiatives such as a podcast and long form thought leadership
• Focused channel activation
• Ensure structure and momentum to delivery, ensuring priorities are clear and executed on time
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to align marketing with commercial priorities and key accounts
• Manage external partners (PR, digital, creative) to a high standard of output
• Translate the company’s point of view into clear, confident and distinctive marketing
• Measure performance and adjust activity based on commercial impact

Experience:

• Minimum 7 years marketing management experience in a B2B or professional services setting
• Experience leading projects such as brand rollouts or website builds
• Strong stakeholder management with senior leaders
• Experience developing and delivering thought leadership content that engages senior B2B audiences (e.g. reports, interviews, podcasts, video)
• Strong editorial judgement and ability to drive clear, differentiated narratives and draw out insight from senior stakeholders or clients

You will be comfortable if you:

• Can operate without perfect information
• Make decisions quickly and stand behind them
• Challenge constructively and bring clarity to ambiguity
• Are as strong delivering as you are thinking
