Head Of Marketing – National Theatre, London | Maternity Cover
£70,000 per annum plus benefits
About Us:
NT Food & Drink is a dynamic partnership between Levy and KERB, embedded within the National Theatre on the South Bank. Our mission is to create a world-class hospitality destination at the heart of one of the world’s most iconic theatres. We champion inclusivity, sustainability, and the development of future leaders, ensuring all food and drink spaces reflect the NT’s values, vision, and culture.
We’re looking for a confident, hands-on Head of Marketing to cover a period of maternity leave. This is a standout opportunity for a senior, all-round marketer who understands hospitality from the inside out and enjoys working at pace with lots of moving parts.
About the role:
Reporting to the Managing Director, you’ll take full ownership of marketing across all NT Food & Drink outlets – bars, cafés, restaurants and event spaces. This is a true generalist leadership role, ideal for someone with strong restaurant or hotel F&B experience who can comfortably span strategy, delivery, reporting and PR.
You’ll act as the central connector between chefs, operators, partners, the NT marketing team and external agencies – asking the right questions, aligning priorities and pushing projects over the line.
What you’ll be doing:
- Set and deliver an end-to-end marketing strategy that positions NT Food & Drink as a leading London destination
- Lead integrated campaigns across digital, social, PR, CRM and onsite channels
- Oversee content creation – photography, video, menus, POS and digital screens – with a sharp eye for brand and detail
- Act as a key stakeholder manager and project lead, coordinating multiple partners and priorities at once
- Own budgets, reporting and performance analysis, turning insight into action
- Spot food, drink and cultural trends and translate them into commercially strong ideas
- Stay close to the operation – getting hands-on, solving problems and supporting teams on the ground
What we’re looking for:
- Background in restaurant or hotel F&B marketing, ideally with a couple of years in a senior or head-of function role
- A generalist marketer, not a specialist — confident across campaigns, content, reporting and PR
- Strong stakeholder management skills, comfortable mediating between different viewpoints and driving alignment
- Highly organised, structured and proactive, with excellent project management instincts
- Confident communicator, able to engage credibly with everyone from chefs and operators to senior stakeholders
- Commercially aware, data-literate and outcome-focused
Your style:
You’re a senior leader who isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. You thrive in operational environments, enjoy complexity, and bring calm, clarity and momentum to busy projects. Collaborative, curious and decisive, you take pride in building brands that feel authentic, inclusive and exciting.
If you love food, drink, culture and storytelling – and want to shape the voice of one of London’s most iconic destinations – we’d love to hear from you.
