About Paul Rhodes Bakery

Founded by former Michelin-starred chef Paul Rhodes in 2003, Paul Rhodes Bakery has built a strong reputation as the go-to supplier of quality handcrafted sourdoughs, cakes and pastries in the capital. Paul’s ambition when he started the bakery was simple: to provide London’s busy chefs with the best handcrafted bread, made from the finest ingredients possible and traditional techniques. 

Today, as the bakery heads towards twenty-five years in business, the goal remains the same and this ambition underpins everything we do. We have both a wholesale business supplying some of London’s top restaurants, hotels, cafés, and entertainment venues, as well as our local retail bakery shop which is based a ten minute walk up the road, in Greenwich Market. 

As we continue to grow, we are looking for talented individuals to join our team and contribute to our success. At Paul Rhodes Bakery, we believe in nurturing talent. By joining our company, you’ll have the chance to work with experienced professionals, learn valuable skills, and be part of a friendly, supportive environment

Role Overview:

We are seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Marketing Manager – someone who can quickly understand the business, identify priorities, and start putting clear plans and processes in place. We are looking for someone to help strengthen and organise our marketing support, bring more structure to our activity, and ensure our brand and communications are working hard for the business. We need someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, and who is comfortable working across a broad mix of brand, content, communications, digital channels and sales support.

The role would suit someone who has worked in the food industry and understands how to market to hospitality, foodservice and trade customers, rather than purely consumer audiences.

Key responsibilities:

• Review current marketing activity and identify priorities, gaps and quick wins
• Create a clearer marketing plan and calendar across campaigns, launches and seasonal activity
• Bring structure and consistency to brand management, templates and marketing assets
• Support tone of voice development and ensure communications are on-brand
• Oversee content planning across email, website and social channels
• Write or edit marketing copy, including newsletters, customer communications, product messaging and sales support materials
• Help improve website content, updates and SEO
• Support social media planning, content creation and scheduling
• Create stronger processes for recurring marketing requests, such as image requests, shop requests and ad hoc customer support materials
• Build useful sales and account support tools, such as brochures, one-pagers, presentations and launch materials
• Support internal teams with clearer ways of working, templates and guidance
• Help define what good looks like across marketing activity and reporting

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven marketing experience in the food industry, ideally within bakery, hospitality, foodservice or related sectors
• Experience working in a hands-on standalone or small-team marketing role
• Strong understanding of B2B marketing, ideally with experience supporting sales teams and key accounts
• Ability to move comfortably between strategy and execution
• Strong copywriting and editing skills
• Experience managing content across email, website and social channels
• Good understanding of brand management and tone of voice
• Confident organising multiple projects and creating structure where processes are still developing
• Commercially minded, practical and able to get things moving quickly
• Comfortable working with a range of internal stakeholders

·        Experience producing customer-facing trade materials and sales support tools

• Experience supporting seasonal campaigns, new product launches or trade events

Personal Attributes

• Results-driven - goal-oriented, with a strong track record of delivering against marketing objectives.
• Collaborative - able to work cross-functionally and build strong relationships with internal teams and external partners.
• Organised and proactive - comfortable working at pace, managing multiple priorities, and bringing clarity and structure.
• Passionate about the industry - a genuine interest in food and hospitality, with a curiosity for trends, innovation and great customer experience.

This is a part-time role with flexibility on days and hours, but we are looking for someone who can start immediately and make an impact quickly.
