Director, Brand Marketing & Growth

Location: Nine Elms, London | Full-time

About Zapp

Zapp is London's leading premium convenience retail platform. Founded in 2020, our vision is to disrupt the multi-trillion dollar convenience retail market, currently dominated by major players, by developing best-in-class customer-centric technology and fulfilment solutions. Zapp partners with some of the world's leading brands to deliver an exclusive range of hand-picked products 24/7, delivered in minutes.

The Role

This is not a traditional marketing director role. Zapp moves fast, operates lean, and holds itself to a standard that most marketing teams would find uncomfortable. The person we’re looking for has actively sought out this environment. They are culturally switched on, commercially sharp, and instinctively understand what it means to build a brand that London's most discerning customers actually want to be associated with.

You will take full ownership of Zapp's marketing function - the team, the strategy, the output, and the standard. You will run brand, paid, CRM, social, influencer, and partnerships. You will be the most senior marketing voice in the building day to day, and you will be expected to operate like it.

What You Will Own

• The full marketing function
• The team
• Brand campaigns end to end
• Cultural relevance and brand awareness
• Influencer and partnership strategy
• Brand perception and customer insight
• Cross-functional integration

Core Competencies and Skills:

• 9+ years of experience in marketing strategy & execution, agency leadership, VC/PE with a consumer focus, entrepreneur or senior roles within high-growth, brand-led scale-ups.
• Brand Intuition: A deep understanding of Zapp and what makes a premium lifestyle brand tick. You know that the "how" and "why" are just as important as the "what."
• Influencing Power: Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and align C-level stakeholders behind a unified creative and commercial vision.
• Exceptional Communication: You are a master storyteller with high executive presence, capable of simplifying complex business goals into inspiring brand narratives.
• Outcome-Oriented Creativity: You thrive in the "grey area" between logic and magic - using data to back up bold, creative risks.
• High EQ & Discretion: You will be handling sensitive strategic pivots; sound judgment and integrity are non-negotiable.
