About you

You will come from a marketing or data background from either the retail or wholesale sector within a fast-paced environment. This role will involve managing multiple activities with different delivery points. Being able to control all of these is essential for the role as is an understanding of key market drivers, in specifying segmented activity and in reviewing campaign results to improve delivery of future activity.

An understanding of the automotive industry and/or Tyre market from a consumer/trade perspective and Direct marketing qualifications (e.g. IDM) is desirable but not essential.

Why join Micheldever?

The Micheldever Group began over 50 years ago as a small part-time venture, offering car servicing and tyres to its local neighbourhood. From these humble beginnings we have grown to become one of the UK’s largest wholesaler, distributor, and retailer of tyres, selling close to seven million tyres nationwide annually - nearly a quarter of the total UK market. We do this as both a B2B wholesaler and D2C retailer through our new Protyre co uk website and 184 wholly owned centres branded as Protyre Autocare, whilst also providing MOTs and mechanical services.

Our business now has over 2,500 Employees. Headquartered in Micheldever Station, near Winchester, our teams are based right across the UK - from Southam (near Coventry) to Chepstow, Halifax, Airdrie, Bury St Edmunds, Walsall, Haydock, Ashford, Nottingham, Exeter, Washington, and Greenford (West London) - and this role within our Marketing Team supports a hybrid working approach with c.2-3 days a week within one of our offices (either in Southam or Micheldever), with regular visits to Protyre Autocare and independent/franchised dealers across the UK, plus at least quarterly get-togethers with Marketing colleagues in another UK location.

This is a pivotal period for the business, with the recent hiring of a Board-level Group Marketing Director, demonstrating that marketing has become a more in?uential and strategic function within the business - with a more data-driven, insight-led, omni-channel approach to marketing activity and a desire to attract new customers into the sales funnel whilst developing and maintaining the best possible customer experience across all channels. This has led to a restructuring of the Marketing Team - with the creation of this role - bringing together two separate B2B/D2C marketing teams into one and instigating a more matrix structure with clear focus and accountabilities for all. Critically it is accepted that the Marketing team are intrinsic to the execution of our strategy

Benefits include a competitive market salary, hybrid working, a career development pathway, and the opportunity to work within a fast-moving, growing business alongside high calibre marketers who will help you develop your existing skills.
