About this role

We are looking for a Senior Marketing Manager to turn Yubo's brand ambition into brilliant, effective marketing, from major campaign moments to paid and owned-channel activity, and the smaller tests that help us learn what works.

You will lead integrated brand campaigns, own campaign and paid-media planning and management, and build and manage influencer capabilities.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can move comfortably between strategic thinking and execution.

You will challenge plans constructively, make recommendations grounded in insight and data, and work closely with Creative, PR, Product, UA, Data, Trust & Safety and Legal to deliver marketing that builds the brand and drives growth.

The role will focus on the US first, with scope to contribute to expansion into new markets as Yubo's marketing activity grows.

This is a freelance position on a 6-month contract, with a target start of Q4 2026.

• Own campaign budget planning and day-to-day management, partnering closely with UA on paid-media strategy and optimisation.

• Build influencer, social and community activity
• Build the plans, operating models and internal capability needed to deliver consistently strong influencer activity and integrate it into wider campaign plans.
• Manage influencer agency relationships, negotiating cost-effective partnership models that maximise impact and effectiveness.

Who you are

You are an experienced brand marketer with strong consumer instincts and a genuine interest in youth culture.

You know how to turn a positioning and a business objective into a campaign people notice, and how to turn campaign results into smarter decisions next time.

You are as comfortable building a strategic recommendation as you are writing a brief, reviewing creative, shaping a media plan, interrogating performance data or getting into the practical detail needed to make work happen.

You don't wait for perfect information or a fully formed process; you create clarity, bring people together and move work forward.

You will bring

• A breadth of experience in brand and integrated marketing, ideally in a high-growth tech, consumer app, entertainment, lifestyle or youth-culture business.

• Experience owning campaign and paid-media planning and management, ideally in close partnership with performance marketing, creative and comms teams.
• Confidence analysing campaign performance and translating data into clear optimisation and investment recommendations.
• Experience working closely with creative teams to develop strong campaign platforms, briefs and work that is both strategically sharp and creatively ambitious.
• A curiosity for less traditional channels, partnerships and approaches, with the creativity to test new ways of reaching people and maximise earned attention above what we buy.
• A proactive, autonomous and highly collaborative working style.
• Within a month, you will
• Get up to speed on Yubo's brand, product, US market and audience.
• Meet your key stakeholders across Brand, Creative, PR, Product, UA and Data.
• Review current campaign activity, budgets and ways of working.
