We’re On the Beach! Since 2003, we've been rewriting the rules of how people discover, book, and experience their perfect getaway. What started as connecting people to short-haul beach holidays has evolved into something much bigger - premium beach destinations, long-haul adventures, and vibrant city breaks – and that’s just the beginning of our story.
We send around two million holidaymakers on their dream breaks every year. And we're still growing.
Powered by our deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit, proprietary tech, curiosity and our incredible people, we’re accelerating - delivering best in class technology, the ultimate holiday app, and experiences that keep our customers coming back for more.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Marketing Manager to join our Brand & Campaigns team.
This is a broad, generalist role for someone who enjoys variety, ambiguity and pace. No two days are the same; one day you might be shaping campaign communications, the next working with Commercial on a new perk, and the next responding to a supply opportunity or market shift.
You’ll work across:
- Multiple projects at once
- 2 markets (UK & Ireland)
- 3 products (Beach, City Breaks and Cruise)
This role is ideal for someone with a varied marketing background who’s comfortable switching gears, joining the dots across teams and rolling their sleeves up to get things done.

Planning, performance & delivery
- Support the management of the marketing and communications calendar.
- Balance planned activity with reactive work as priorities shift.
- Use performance data and insight to help refine messaging and campaign execution.
- Work confidently across different markets and products, adapting comms as needed.
You’ll be a great addition to our team if you have the following skills, knowledge and experience
- At least 5 years’ experience & a proven track record in planning & executing multi-channel marketing campaigns in a generalist marketing role, ideally in eCommerce, retail or travel.

- Experience in briefing & managing agency relationships
- Key understanding of marketing & campaign principles and their application
- Comfortable working across multiple projects with competing priorities.
- Experience briefing creative or channel teams and working cross-functionally.
- Commercially aware, with an understanding of how marketing supports trading and growth.
- Happy operating in a fast-paced environment where plans can change.
Skills & qualities we’re looking for
- Educated to degree level or with relevant professional qualifications (i.e. CIM) OR relevant travel industry experience
- Adaptable, flexible and curious — you enjoy variety and problem-solving.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Confident communicator who builds strong relationships across teams.
- A creative flair and passion
- Excellent presentation skills and along with a competency in office software (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint etc.)
- Data-aware, with a willingness to learn and use insight to inform decisions.
