About myHappymind
myHappymind is an NHS-backed, science-based whole-school wellbeing programme used by thousands of primary schools, Early Years settings, secondary schools and families across the UK. We are a small, mission-driven team at a high-growth moment: recently PE-backed and expanding into international markets.
Marketing is the first link in our growth chain. This role sits at the centre of it.
Role Purpose
You will play a key role in supporting myHappymind's growth and partnering with the wider marketing team by managing paid and organic channels, delivering end-to-end campaigns, and helping to maintain the lead generation infrastructure that supports our sales team.
You're a technically minded, analytical marketer with a real passion for digital and an exacting eye for detail. You love learning what's new, bringing ideas to the table and applying it accurately, and you take pride in work that's precise, polished and right the first time.
This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role in a small agile marketing team. You will work directly with the Head of Marketing, who owns brand strategy and campaign planning, and take responsibility for digital execution, performance, and reporting. You help execute the plan, flag risks, and ensure we consistently reach our performance goals. This is a lean setup by design, with the opportunity to grow with a fast growing organisation. You will need to be comfortable moving between performance and creation; some days you will be optimising ad spend, others you will be building an email sequence or setting up a landing page. Versatility is not a nice-to-have here, it is essential.
We move fast and are growing quickly; you’ll need to be comfortable with change, ambiguity, and the freedom to shape processes as we scale.
