About Specialisms Interests

With a background in sales, performance, and presenting, I specialise in helping clients communicate with clarity, influence, and genuine impact. My focus is not just on what you say, but how you say it; so you can engage any audience with confidence that feels authentic and natural.

Alongside my work in communication, I am a life coach specialising in confidence and empowerment. I am passionate about supporting clients to strengthen their self-belief, unlock their potential, and step into opportunities they may once have held back from.

Having spent decades speaking in high-pressure environments; from stages and football pitches to TV studios and live events- I deeply understand the challenges that come with being seen and heard. That lived experience shapes my coaching, allowing me to meet clients with both empathy and practical tools.

Using the Serlin methodology, I help clients break through limiting patterns, build powerful new habits, and become the most confident, compelling version of themselves; both professionally and personally.

What is your favourite memory as a coach?

Watching clients transform as they go through this process. Makes me emotional every time!

What was your own biggest communication hurdle?

Finding my own authentic confidence and realising what I bring to the table. Once I unlocked it, with the help of LSW – I have never looked back!

Describe your perfect Sunday…

My perfect Sunday. I call them Sunday reset days. This involves exploring somewhere new… where there must be at least one ‘posh coffee’ (which just means I haven’t made it myself, a beautiful lunch and a good walk. Come rain or shine, I will be out with my friends or family exploring. As you might have spotted from my photos, I also do a lot of acting, dancing and choreography for musicals. They are my passions alongside coaching. I also volunteer with a homeless charity and the RSPCA when I can. Busy girl but a very happy one!

Marketing Director Role at London Speech Workshop 

Marketing Director, London Speech Workshop 

London (Hybrid) | £50–75k + bonus

About Us

London Speech Workshop is a values-led communication coaching company helping people speak with confidence, authenticity, and impact. Through our Serlin Method™, we blend psychology and performance to create powerful, human transformation, for individuals and organisations alike.

We work with SMEs, charities, and household names including Unilever, Chanel, John Lewis, and the Bank of England. We’re in an exciting growth phase across B2B, B2C, and digital, and marketing is central to this next chapter.

We have a lateral working structure, a warm and dynamic team, and a simple ethos: our people should feel valued and know they’re delivering real value in the world. We look for good eggs with talent and grit.

The Role

This is not a purely strategic role. You’ll be deep in the detail; building funnels, shaping messaging, testing ideas, and driving performance, while leading a Marketing Manager and managing freelancers, agencies, and partners.

One morning you’re sketching a landing page wireframe. That afternoon you’re coaching your manager or reviewing PPC performance. You’re as comfortable in the data as you are in a creative brief.

What You’ll Own

Growth & Funnel Performance

  • Own the full funnel: awareness → lead → nurture → conversion
  • Build and optimise landing pages, journeys, and conversion flows
  • Run continuous testing (CRO, A/B, messaging) to improve performance

Paid & Performance Marketing

  • Own strategy and results across PPC (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube)
  • Manage agencies and freelancers — setting direction and pushing for better ROI
  • Allocate budget based on data, not instinct

Campaigns, Content & Execution

  • Plan and deliver campaigns across email, organic, paid, and partnerships
  • Shape high-converting landing pages, lead magnets, and email sequences
  • Ensure all content is on-brand: intelligent, warm, human, and impactful

Data, Team & Systems

  • Be obsessed with metrics: conversion, CAC, LTV, engagement
  • Own HubSpot (or similar): automation, segmentation, reporting
  • Manage and develop a Marketing Manager; brief and oversee designers and developers

Who You Are

  • 6–10+ years in growth and performance marketing
  • Have owned PPC and know what “good” looks like
  • Have built funnels and campaigns yourself — not just directed them
  • Confident with HubSpot, Figma/Canva, and analytics platforms
  • Strong copy instincts and an eye for conversion
  • Commercially sharp, driven by results not vanity metrics
  • Genuinely curious about people, behaviour, and what makes communication work

Salary & Benefits

  • £50,000–£75,000 DOE + performance bonus
  • Hybrid (2 days/week in our London office)
  • Learning budget + access to our training
  • A fast-moving, ideas-friendly team that lives what it teaches

How to Apply

  • Send your CV, a short cover note, and a max 2-minute video or voice note to Emma at careers@londonspeechworkshop.com
  • In the video, tell us: what excites you about this role, a marketing project you’re proud of, and your salary expectations.
