Interim Brand & Communications Director (3-Month Contract)
Start Date: Ideally w/c 20 May
Location: Hybrid - 1 day per week onsite in Leicestershire
Day Rate: £550-£650 per day (inside IR35)
Interview Process: 2 stages
Availability: Immediate

A leading consumer brand is seeking an experienced Interim Brand & Communications Director to bridge a short-term leadership gap within its marketing team. Following a recent restructure and the development of a strong growth marketing function, the brand and comms team is now being built out separately.

With a new CMO joining in June and the current interim director stepping into a permanent role elsewhere, this contractor will provide crucial leadership and continuity during the handover and onboarding period.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and support a junior marketing team (currently 2 contractors and 1 permanent staff)

  • Execute against an already-defined brand and comms strategy

  • Offer hands-on leadership across brand, comms, and social media channels

  • Help recruit and onboard 3 permanent hires (Brand & Campaigns, Content & PR, Community Manager)

  • Elevate current campaign delivery through a test-and-learn, data-driven approach

  • Act as a key advisor to ensure smooth transition ahead of the new CMO's arrival

Ideal Candidate:

  • Proven experience in brand and communications leadership roles

  • Strong execution focus with a hands-on approach

  • Background in B2C and/or tech sectors preferred

  • Social media fluency is a plus

  • Data-driven mindset with an eye for measurable outcomes

  • Experience managing and mentoring junior teams
