Jöttnar produces technical clothing for mountaineering, winter climbing and all-mountain skiing.  We are a young and ambitious company seeking an outstanding individual to be our Marketing Manager. You are the heart of the company’s marketing and PR output and responsible for creating and delivering the PR and marketing plan.

Jöttnar is a digital company with a physical presence; you will understand this and how to work within it. You will be an all round marketer with strong consumer brand experience and a passion for mountain sports and the outdoors.

You will have the maturity and discipline to self-manage, to work within a team and to complete within a budget. You will be capable of working at pace and with high energy, however you will be considered and strategic in your approach and be well organised.

Large enterprise experience is valued, but you will also have experience of working in a flexible, employee empowered, small to medium-sized company. Departmentalised approaches will not work here and you will be delighted by the prospect of rolling your sleeves up and being hands on.
