You will have a strong marketing background and a deep understanding of consumer issues in retail, as well as digital marketing and corporate branding. Your experience, which will ideally include exposure at plc board level, will have been gained serving on the operating or main board of a significant branded retailer. The strongest candidates will have the ability and confidence to analyse complex issues quickly and will have strong relationship building, influencing and communication skills. You will be valued for your ability to challenge others’ viewpoints constructively and for your high levels of personal integrity.
 
Marston’s is passionate about equal opportunities and would encourage a broad diversity of talent to apply, particularly women and ethnic minorities.
