Head of Marketing (UK – Remote) Full Time

Dexerto is a leading global digital media company reaching over 100 million monthly fans across gaming, streaming, entertainment, and internet culture. We operate at the intersection of content, creators, and brands — delivering premium editorial, video programming, social content, live experiences, and commercial partnerships that shape modern entertainment culture.

As Dexerto continues to scale globally across both audience and commercial operations, brand positioning, industry visibility, and strategic market presence are becoming increasingly important to the next stage of growth.

The Role

Dexerto is seeking a Marketing Manager (UK-based) to lead and elevate the company’s external brand presence across the media, advertising, gaming, entertainment, and creator economy industries.

This is a highly strategic role for an experienced B2B marketer who understands how to position and grow a modern media brand within competitive commercial markets. We are looking for someone with a strong agency or media background — ideally someone who has previously been responsible for marketing an agency, publisher, media business, or public-facing brand.

The successful candidate will own and drive Dexerto’s marketing strategy across brand positioning, industry awareness, PR opportunities, lead generation support, thought leadership, awards strategy, and market-facing communications.

This role sits at the intersection of marketing, commercial, brand, audience insights, and business development. You will work closely with senior leadership and the commercial team to help strengthen Dexerto’s market position, increase visibility with brands and agencies, and support revenue growth through smarter positioning, strategic storytelling, and industry engagement.

You will play a key role in identifying how Dexerto shows up externally — from industry narratives and whitepapers through to awards, PR opportunities, speaking opportunities, sales positioning, and broader market influence.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable operating strategically and executing high-impact initiatives. The ideal candidate will understand how to turn audience, platform, campaign, and industry data into compelling narratives that generate industry attention, commercial conversations, and meaningful business opportunities.

You will also help shape how Dexerto leverages its senior leadership team externally — identifying opportunities to raise company profile, strengthen authority, and position Dexerto as a leading voice across gaming, entertainment, influencer culture, and digital media.
