About Universal Container Services
Universal Container Services Ltd is one of the UK's leading suppliers of shipping containers, container conversions and container accessories. With a rapidly expanding online presence and ambitious growth plans, we're investing heavily in our digital capabilities and building an in-house marketing team to support the next phase of the business.
We're looking for an experienced, commercially focused Digital Marketing Manager to lead this journey.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to build and shape the digital marketing function within a growing business.
Whilst the role is predominantly focused on digital marketing, you will also oversee wider marketing activities across the business, ensuring a consistent, professional brand presence in everything we do.
Working closely with the Sales Director and senior leadership team, you'll develop and implement marketing strategies that generate enquiries, support sales growth and strengthen the Universal Container Services brand.
As the department grows, you'll play a key role in developing the team, processes and overall marketing strategy.

About You
You'll be an ambitious marketing professional who combines creativity with commercial awareness.
You'll enjoy analysing data just as much as developing campaigns and will be excited by the opportunity to build a department rather than simply maintain one.
