Tennishead has a number of opportunities to join our team

 

Tennishead digital marketing manager

Are you a freelance digital marketer with experience of (or a real passion for) membership/subscriptions/content marketing?

Tennishead has reached its global leading position through organic growth only, but now we want to grow faster.

We are looking for a part-time, freelance, digital marketing specialist who can work from home (ideally in the UK to make time zones and communication easier) for around 2 days per week (but we are flexible on this). The role may then grow depending on success.

The initial focus would be on using our owned and earned digital channels to grow our global membership and customer base as well as increasing eyeballs on our superb content. We need someone that can talk-the-talk and walk-the-walk as this is a very hands on role involving setting the strategy and then carrying out the hard graft. You’d work closely with the CEO on a day to day basis.

A love of sport (especially tennis) would be amazing but not compulsory.
