Campaign Marketing Manager
People come to Northern for trains they can rely on – but they stay because we keep things moving. Our Marketing team plays a key role in that momentum, bringing brilliant ideas to life across the North. From eye catching station posters to digital campaigns that get people talking, this is where stories are told, brands are built, and journeys are made easier.
As a Campaign Marketing Manager, you’d be responsible for making sure our marketing strategy goes from a top line plan to a live campaign across the marketing mix. Your work will help deliver ambitious revenue goals and shape the way customers see, feel, and connect with Northern. It’s a role with real visibility, bringing together insight, creativity and collaboration to deliver work that moves the dial.
What You’ll Be Doing
Multi-channel, multi-stakeholder, multi-talented – that’s three things you’ll bring to the table. You’ll be someone who knows how to manage big campaigns and big budgets, with the confidence to guide agencies and influence colleagues.
You’ll have:
What's in it for you?
At Northern, we don’t just value our people - we go the extra mile to support them. Here’s a taste of what you can look forward to:
We’re more than just a train operator. We’re the heartbeat of the North – connecting communities, creating opportunities, and driving sustainable growth. With 2,500 trains running daily, we’re on a mission to improve rail travel and enhance the customer experience while protecting the environment.
Back in 1825, the first passenger train set off in the North of England, after which rail quickly spread across the globe – and this year, we’re celebrating 200 years of the modern railway. As we look back on the historic events that led us here, we also look towards the future as we move into the era of Great British Rail. Join us at this pivotal moment in rail history and play your part in our journey.
A place for everyone
The best journeys happen when everyone feels welcome on board.
At Northern, we don’t just move people from A to B – we’re building a team where everyone feels they belong. Our talent team can make reasonable adjustments to the process if that’s something you need. We're also a Level 2 Disability Confident employer, so if you meet the minimum criteria for the role, we’ll always offer an interview.
We automate parts of our screening process to remove any unconscious bias and to make sure every application is treated fairly. All successful offers will be subject to a DBS check and a medical assessment.
No matter your background, experience, or whether you call it a bap, barm, or cob… there’s a place for you here in the railway.
