Due to an exciting period of expansion, we are looking for a collaborative and values-driven Growth & Marketing Manager to join our internal operations team on a part-time basis. Currently, we anticipate this being c.2-4 days per week, which can be worked flexibly to suit.

This is a senior role suitable for someone who enjoys autonomy and variety, with the potential to grow and shape 31ten’s marketing function and to build a strong growth engine for the business by ensuring marketing priorities tie in closely with sales and business development.

You will be responsible for shaping our marketing strategy in close collaboration with our Senior Management Team, whilst also being hands-on to bring our marketing vision to life and enable effective account management and sales across the business.

About us:

31ten is an agile, independent consultancy and certified B Corp. Trusted by our clients and partners, we’ve been named as one of the UK’s Leading Management Consultancies by the Financial Times every year since 2020.

We work in partnership with the public sector to make places better for the people that live, work, and learn in them.

Integrity, inclusivity, social and environmental awareness are at the heart of what we do, and we collaborate with our clients to deliver sustainable change, meaningful impact, and better outcomes.

Work-life balance is important to us – we recognise that everyone has interests and commitments outside of their work and so we strongly advocate for working in the way that’s best for you. Whether that’s part-time, condensed hours, from home or the London office, flexible working arrangements are actively supported.

31ten works across Local & Central Government, Housing & Development, Education, Health & Social Care and Blue Light Services.
