About the Role
Kai Group is a fast-growing company operating at the intersection of media, sport, and music. We are looking for a sharp, commercially minded Marketing & Sales Manager to sit at the crossroads of our marketing and commercial functions.
This is a transversal role, a connector between strategy and day-to-day commercial activity. You will own market intelligence, drive the production of sales materials, support the team in client-facing processes, and ensure that everything the sales team puts in front of a client reflects the Group’s strategic positioning. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, enjoy turning insight into action, and know how to make a sales team move faster and smarter, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
• Own ongoing market analysis: systematically monitor prospects, competitors, industry trends, and relevant commercial developments to keep the Group ahead of the curve
• Report on commercial and campaign performance, translating data into clear recommendations to support sales team decisions
• Produce and maintain the full library of sales materials: pitch decks, brochures, product sheets, and case histories, always polished, always on-brand
• Support the sales team directly in preparing client offers, proposals, and presentations — ensuring quality and strategic coherence at every touchpoint
• Work closely with the Head of Strategy to ensure all commercial proposals are aligned with the Group’s strategic direction and positioning
• Gather, synthesise, and interpret market data and insights to continuously refine the Group’s commercial positioning
• Act as the bridge between marketing and sales, facilitating alignment, breaking down silos, and keeping the commercial engine running smoothly
Required Skills & Experience
• 5+ years of experience in a B2B marketing, sales support, or commercial strategy role — ideally in a complex or multi-stakeholder environment
• Proven experience producing high-quality commercial materials and managing client-facing proposal processes
• Strong command of PowerPoint and Excel; familiarity with design tools (e.g. Canva, Adobe) and CRM or marketing analytics platforms is a plus
• Data-driven mindset: able to collect, synthesise, and interpret market data and turn it into actionable commercial insight
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English;
• Strong commercial storytelling ability: you know how to frame an offer, build a narrative, and make it land
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously without dropping the ball on quality
• A natural connector: you build relationships easily across functions, earn trust quickly, and know how to align people around a common goal
• Degree in Marketing, Economics, Communications, or a related field
What Success Looks Like
• The sales team moves faster and pitches better because you’re behind them — with the right materials, the right data, and the right narrative, always ready
• Every client-facing output — deck, proposal, sheet — consistently reflects the Group’s quality standards and strategic positioning
• Marketing and sales feel like one team, aligned on priorities, sharing information, and moving in the same direction
• Leadership has a clear, real-time picture of market dynamics and can make commercial decisions grounded in solid intelligence
• You grow with the business, progressively expanding your scope and taking ownership of an increasingly strategic remit
