Marketing Manager

About The Salad Project We are building the world's best salad bar. Founded in London in 2021, The Salad Project is one of the UK's fastest-growing food brands, with 15 stores across London and our first international site now open in Paris. We have won UberEats Restaurant of the Year, been named the 12th fastest-growing company in the UK, and picked up the Most Scalable Concept Award. About the role Our goal in London is simple: become a household name and a part of the city's culture. That doesn't happen through big campaigns alone - it happens store by store, one conversation, event and recommendation at a time. We need a marketing manager to reach our goal. You'll work directly with the Head of Marketing, in a small team, to own this. Your focus is events and local partnerships, alongside local store, community and influencer marketing.
