Head of Marketing

Since our founding in 2009, Ticketer has grown to become the UK's leading provider of real-time information, data analytics and ticketing solutions for the bus and coach industry. Today, we work with some of the UK's largest transport operators, including Arriva, Go-Ahead Group and National Express, as well as the majority of local authorities and commercial bus and coach operators across the country.

If you've travelled by bus outside London, there's a good chance Ticketer was powering your journey—from the ticket machine onboard to the software and data services working behind the scenes to keep services running smoothly.

As we continue our growth journey, we're looking for an ambitious and commercially focused Head of Marketing to lead our marketing function and play a key role in driving business growth, brand awareness and customer engagement.

This is a strategic leadership role with a strong hands-on element. You'll be responsible for developing and executing a high-impact marketing strategy that generates pipeline, strengthens our market-leading position and supports our ambitious growth plans.

We're looking for someone who enjoys both setting direction and delivering results—someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical execution, leveraging data, insight and creativity to build a scalable marketing engine.

You'll work closely with teams across Product, Operations, Customer Success and Commercial functions to ensure marketing supports every stage of the customer journey, from acquisition through to retention and growth.
