Chief Marketing Officer Full Time

For more than 50 years, GS1 standards have helped transform and simplify increasingly complex supply chains, increasing business efficiencies and in some cases, saving lives. As a not-for-profit membership body, GS1 UK is one of 118 GS1 organisations operating across 150 countries for the benefit of our members, consumers and society as a whole.

Today, we help a community of over 60,000 businesses uniquely identify, describe and track people, products and places everywhere. We proactively collaborate with members, industry, stakeholders and regulators to harness the power of standards to transform the way people work and live, helping them to find solutions to the key challenges of today whilst preparing for those of tomorrow.

We are now looking for a new Chief Marketing Officer who will help us on the next stage of our growth journey.

In this role, you will play a central role in the delivery of our purpose and strategy, applying world-class strategic marketing approaches to reach, influence and ultimately help GS1 UK members, industry, regulators, and consumers through access to standards. Success will translate to a growing loyal membership who understand the value of what we do; greater collaboration with key stakeholders that makes a difference; and a substantial increase in brand recognition beyond our traditional markets.

With a genuine interest in our work and our members, you will be a customer-centric, collaborative Chief Marketing Officer who is accustomed to working across organisational and geographical boundaries to build brands and businesses, disseminating thought leadership, shaping agendas and bringing people together in support of profitable growth and influence. A well rounded, inspiring leader, your industry leading skill set (gained across numerous industry sectors) and sharp intellect, coupled with agility, tenacity and energy, will enable you and your team to respond to market dynamics and opportunities to maximise business results and impact.

GS1 UK can be categorised in any numbers of ways, so we are open minded about your sector experience, drawn to securing a fresh perspective on our opportunities and challenges. What you must bring is strategic nous, credibility, and inclusive, inspirational leadership credentials that enable you to maximise intellectual capital from blended teams and systems to secure outstanding business performance.

We will appoint this role at a time when our work has never been more relevant or important. If you think you have what it takes to further elevate our brand and impact as a force for good, we look forward to hearing from you.
