Campaign Manager
Role outline
This role is all about delivering brilliant campaigns and delighting our clients.
You’ll be working incredibly closely with our beloved clients, the Sharper team and our wider network of freelance talent, to build, deliver and bring to life creative, interesting, different, and attention-grabbing campaigns.
It’s all to ensure we deliver top-notch work that translates into success for our clients – whatever that looks like to them.
About you
We’re still a growing business so we can’t afford to carry any passengers. Which means we have to hire first and foremost on attitude and personality.
Experience and skills are obviously useful, but they can be gained or learned. If you’ve got the right approach and attitude though, you’ll be on to a winner.
So, what does that “right approach” and attitude look like?
- You’ll be “can do”. You need to be able to pick up the initiative and get stuff done, no matter what kind of curve balls come flying at you.
- You’ll be a problem solver. If things crop up that get in the way you won’t just accept them and say, “oh well”. You’ll be coming up with the ideas and different approaches to get around, under and over those challenges.
- You’ll be inquisitive and empathetic, always looking for new ideas and new ways to do things that connect with people. And you’ll bring those to the table for the benefit of Sharper.
- You’ll be confident (but definitely not arrogant). You need to know yourself, know what you’re good at and back yourself in doing it. But you’ll also be self-aware and humble enough to know where the line is.
- You’ll want to crack on with your career. We want to see you be a success, but we also know you’re not going to stay with us forever. If we can help you on the way and we all have some fun doing it, then that’s win-win.
As we said, knowledge and skills can be gained or learned, but if you’ve got some of the following in your back pocket that’ll stand you in good stead.
About the role
As our brand-new Campaign Manager there will be five key things you’ll need to own and be all over. Specifically:
-
Client Relationship Management:
Nurturing strong relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and ensuring their satisfaction. You’ll act as a bridge between the client’s vision and the execution of successful campaigns.
-
Campaign Development:
Collaborating with clients, the Sharper team, and freelance talent to conceptualise, design, and create captivating campaigns. These campaigns should stand out, be innovative, and resonate with the target audience.
-
Project Delivery:
Overseeing the end-to-end campaign process, from conception to implementation. This involves coordinating resources, managing timelines, and ensuring delivery within budget constraints.
-
Creativity and Innovation:
Bringing fresh ideas to the table! You’ll need to think outside the box, explore unconventional approaches, and infuse creativity into every aspect of the campaigns.
-
Measurable Results:
Ultimately, your goal is to achieve success for clients. Whether it’s increased brand awareness, demand generation, or sales leads, you’ll measure and analyse campaign performance to demonstrate tangible results
So, does Sharper sound like something you want to be part of? Then read on…
Experience
- 3-5 years B2B client-side experience ideally as a marketing manager, campaign manager, senior marketing/campaign manager or similar. You will need to know what it’s like in our client’s world.
- Campaign creation, build and execution. You’ll know your way around (or at the very least the theory behind) how to create and run multi-channel marketing campaigns that make an impact with people.
- Marketing automation and tech. You don’t need to be a genius level expert by any stretch of the imagination, but you will need to know enough to be dangerous with CRM, email platforms, marketing automation tools, etc.
- If you’ve got a marketing qualification (CIM, IDM, Mini-MBA, etc) that’s pretty cool, but it’s not a deal breaker.
Skills
- Clear communicator. You’ll be working across multiple activities/projects talking to a variety of people so you’ve got to be clear and consistent with your communications – both written and verbal.
- Able to handle complexity. With multiple projects/activities on the go at any one time you’ve got to have the mental agility to be able to switch from one thing to the next and be comfortable managing your own energy and time to do so.
- Copywriting. You’ve got to have a solid grasp on the English language and able to create engaging copy.

Client’s love working with us for 3 main reasons

And we live and die by our values: Creativity, Tenacity, Fairness, and Fun. If you don’t think these 4 things are important then you’re not going to enjoy working here.
We’re also proud members of the Selbey Anderson family, the agency group that finds and unlocks hidden value in people, agencies, and brands.
Become a Campaign Manager Sharperino
Don't just send us a CV and a cover letter or anything like that. Think outside the box. Try something different. Grab our attention - because if you can't do that for yourself (the one thing you should absolutely know how to market) how are you going to do it for clients? We can't wait to hear from you...
What to expect?
- One of the team will get back to you within 48 hours. That's a promise.
- If we like the cut of your jib we'll set up an initial intro call.
- After that it really depends on what role you're applying for. We don't have complicated, long-winded interview processes though. We just want to know that you're a good for us (and we're a good fit for you).
