“Marketing Engineer” is an emerging role as AI reshapes what businesses expect from marketing talent. Today’s strongest marketers are blending
→ AI & automation
→ Data & analytics
→ Technology
→ Creativity & storytelling

It’s not about every marketer becoming a coder. It’s about finding people who can understand the technology, use it intelligently and turn it into commercial results.

For employers, that means the best talent may no longer fit neatly into a traditional marketing job description. The question is: are you hiring for the skills marketing needs today or the ones it needed yesterday?

When looking for your next role, it’s easy to focus on LinkedIn and job boards, but some of the best opportunities never make it onto the public job market.
We regularly speak to candidates who aren’t actively looking but would consider the right opportunity if it came along.

So how can you make sure you’re visible when that opportunity does arise?
• Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date
• Keep your professional network warm
• Be clear about what you’d consider for your next move
• Stay open to conversations, even when you’re happy where you are

We’ve shared some practical tips in our latest blog, including why being career-ready can be just as important as actively job hunting.

It’s not always about finding more applicants. It’s about finding the right people to speak to. Reviewing CVs, arranging interviews and narrowing down a shortlist can quickly take up valuable time for hiring managers.

We take care of the search and screening, so you can focus your time on meeting the candidates who could genuinely be right for the role.

For senior marketing roles, don’t just prepare answers to the obvious questions. Think about the examples that demonstrate how you work.

1. Know your numbers
Be ready to talk about the results you’ve delivered; revenue, leads, conversion, ROI, growth or engagement.

2. Have examples ready
Think of 2–3 situations where you’ve solved a problem, influenced others or delivered something significant.

3. Research the business
Understand their customers, competitors and current marketing activity. Think about where you could add value.

4. Prepare questions
The interview is also your opportunity to understand the role, team and expectations and most importantly, don’t just tell them what you’ve done, explain the impact you made.

We recently partnered with Piper Strategy, a consultancy that develops and delivers Sales & Marketing strategies to help businesses grow.

We worked closely with founder Josie O'Donovan to support the recruitment of a key marketing hire for one of her growing clients.

It was great working with you, Josie, and thank you for the kind testimonial. We’re really pleased to have played a part in finding the right person for the team.

Email marketing changes when you reach scale.

What works for a smaller database doesn’t always work when you’re managing hundreds of thousands of contacts. Sender reputation, data quality, segmentation and automation all become more complex and that’s where experienced email specialists make a difference.

For businesses scaling their CRM activity, senior marketers who understand both strategy and the technical side of email are increasingly valuable.

The hiring market is starting to show some signs of movement. The latest KPMG and REC data shows permanent placements increased in August for the first time since September 2022. But vacancies are still falling, while candidate availability continues to rise.

For businesses, that may mean more choice, but more applicants doesn’t necessarily make hiring easier. We’re hearing more about the volume of applications, with hiring managers spending significant time working through candidates who look good on paper but aren’t necessarily the right fit.

The real challenge remains finding someone with the right experience, understanding of the business and ability to make an impact.

More applications don’t automatically mean more of the right candidates.

Marketing is changing, but the qualities businesses value haven’t.

The tools and channels may evolve, but the fundamentals remain the same.
There’s plenty of conversation around AI, automation and new technology, and of course, those skills matter.

When we speak to businesses about senior marketing hires, the same qualities consistently come up, someone who can think commercially, use strategic judgement, understand the customer, influence those around them and, ultimately, turn marketing activity into something that genuinely moves the business forward.

The tools will continue to change. The ability to think commercially won’t.
For us, that’s why a strong marketing CV is only part of the picture when we’re headhunting.

The more important question is:
Can this person make a difference to this particular business?
That’s often where the best hires are found.

September always feels a little like a reset.

Not necessarily a complete change. Sometimes it’s simply the point where you stop thinking about something and start doing something about it.
A new project, a promotion, a different direction or perhaps a new role or career move. Whatever the next step looks like, you don’t have to have it all figured out before you take it.

If you’re thinking about what comes next and would value some guidance or an honest conversation about the market, we’re always happy to help.
Here’s to taking the next step.
