Fractional Head of Marketing, Ecomnova
FRACTIONAL CMO JOB · RETAIL SECTOR · LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM
Ecomnova (Appleyard London, Blossoming Gifts) seeks an experienced Performance Marketing Advisor on a fractional basis to coach their in-house team and provide strategic oversight of Google/Meta campaigns. The role is explicitly advisory—not hands-on management—with weekly/monthly sessions, quarterly reviews, and ad-hoc support for seasonal peaks. No rate stated; engagement model and seniority level are well-defined.
The balanced verdict
- Genuinely fractional — weekly/monthly cadence + seasonal flex explicitly offered
- High-seniority target — Head of Performance Marketing, Director, Growth Director experience expected
- Clear mandate — coaching + strategy, not execution—suits portfolio/advisory practitioners
- Direct employer with small, stable team (11–50); transparent about avoiding agency or daily ops handover
- Ecommerce verticals (flowers, gift retail) offer seasonal testing and acquisition complexity
- Day rate and exact weekly commitment undefined; negotiate scope upfront (e.g. 1–2 days/week equivalent)
- Reporting line and MD/HoM alignment on advisor authority not explicitly stated—clarify decision-making influence
- Seasonal surge (Valentine's, Mother's Day, Christmas) could compress into high-intensity weeks; confirm flexibility

About us: Ecomnova is the business behind Appleyard London and Blossoming Gifts, two of the UK's leading online flower brands. We're looking for an experienced Performance Marketing Advisor to support our in-house team as we continue to grow. This is not a campaign management role. We're looking for someone who enjoys coaching, challenging ideas and helping ambitious marketers become exceptional. The Role: You'll act as a trusted advisor to our Head of Marketing and Performance Marketing team. Rather than managing campaigns yourself, you'll provide strategic guidance, identify opportunities and help us continuously improve our approach to customer acquisition

Coach and mentor our in-house Performance Marketing Manager/Executive. Challenge campaign strategy and testing plans. Review attribution, reporting and measurement.

Keep the team informed of new platform developments and AI opportunities. Attend a monthly strategy session with the Managing Director and Head of Marketing. What we're looking for: You'll probably have previously held roles such as: Head of Performance Marketing Performance Director Ecommerce Director Growth Director Paid Media Director You'll have significant experience managing large ecommerce advertising budgets across Google and Meta and a strong commercial mindset. Just as importantly, you'll enjoy developing people and helping teams improve. How we'd like to work together: Initially we'd envisage: A comprehensive account review and strategic roadmap. Weekly or monthly sessions each month depending on scope. Quarterly in-depth performance reviews. Additional support ahead of major seasonal trading events. This role is about building capability within our team rather than replacing it. Why this role is different We're not looking for an agency.
