Group Chief Marketing Officer

This is an exciting opportunity to work across three distinct organisations, PeoplePay Global, V2 Radio and Fernleigh Chichester, driving strategy and execution across the full marketing, PR and communications mix. The opportunity is diverse, and highly exciting.

The Companies

PeoplePay Global is a market leading International Payroll provider, helping companies take their first steps towards international expansion. We assist and simplify the overseas hiring, onboarding and payroll process. We're ultra responsive and human, guiding employers every step of the way to ensure they remain compliant in any country they expand into. The previous iteration of the business was Investors in People Business, A “Best” companies one to watch, and we are an industry recognised winner in a number of areas. The candidate will be integral in continuing to develop our “best in class” employee metrics.

V2 Radio is the only truly local radio station, focussing on listeners across South West Sussex with a potential listener base of 3.5m individuals from the New Forest to Ashford. In its previous iteration, the station was the most listened to in the area, and V2 Radio has developed and improved on these metrics.

Fernleigh is a private members club based in Chichester, with food, events and gym offerings. Think Soho House, and Liberty of London, but in Chichester.
