Glasgow Film Festival (GFF) is seeking a Marketing Manager to support an exciting phase of growth for Scotland’s biggest film festival.

This position will play a key role in developing initiatives that will significantly expand the festival’s footprint locally, nationally and globally.

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will bring a proactive approach to increase the festival’s visibility on a global stage, with the ability to manage projects and teams with tight timeframes typical of a festival environment.

This post would suit someone who is passionate about film and culture, and motivated by the opportunity to help shape the future growth and reputation of the festival. This role requires a very organised, positive self-starter, the ability to manage a very busy workload, and deal with multiple competing priorities in a calm and constructive manner.

The aim of this role is to increase Glasgow Film Festival’s brand awareness and reputation in the UK as Scotland’s flagship film festival, whilst increasing public and industry attendance.

You will be expected to lead and deliver coordinated marketing of festival and industry plans, set out by festival and marketing heads, whilst contributing new ideas and initiatives that will increase GFF’s visibility, ticket sales and industry participation.

Working closely with the Head of Marketing and Communications, the Head of Programme and the Head of Operations for GFF, this role will also support the development of the festival’s strategy in line with organisational goals to strengthen its reputation and visibility among industry professionals, filmmakers, distributors, and cultural partners worldwide.

You will manage the GFF marketing team from October to March, to ensure the successful planning and delivery of a coordinated marketing campaign, and lead on festival marketing requirements from April to September.

The role also carries responsibility for the festival’s digital presence, including its website and online platforms, ensuring audiences can easily discover the programme and engage with festival content, to maximise ticket sales.
