Run 1 of the twice-weekly sweep. Checked live on Sunday 18 October 2026, 11:45 to 12:05 UK time. Every role below was opened in this run and cross-checked on the employer's own careers page; anything closed, filled or absent is under Struck.
The short version
Unbiased CMO (London, hybrid) is the cleanest fit: consumer acquisition at £20m+ a year across UK and US, with AI search named in the brief. Comp not stated.
SharkNinja VP Global Affiliate Marketing and Live Commerce (London) is the biggest consumer brand on the list, posted 14 October. Comp not stated.
Legends Global VP Marketing (UK venues, London) and IMG SVP Commercial (London) are the media chairs; both have been open since July.
No employer published a full comp picture this week; the only base range on the list is Taskrabbit's £89,000 to £115,000 (London), well under your level.
Watchlist: nothing at VP or director marketing level in London at Google, Meta, Disney, Adobe, ByteDance or Sky this run. TikTok's own listing could not be read and will be retried.
Ranked roles (11)
Best fit first, weighing seniority, sector, UK eligibility from the employer's own text, and total comp as published.
Consumer marketplace (financial advice), UK and USA
Posted
8 Oct 2026 (employer page datePosted)
Closest match on the list: a CMO seat owning UK and US consumer acquisition with a £20m+ a year budget, SEO through the AI search transition named explicitly, scaling to £90m revenue. Reads like your Argos brief at a smaller, profitable scale-up.
comp not stated (page lists employee stock purchase options among benefits)
Sector
Consumer products, D2C and commerce
Posted
14 Oct 2026 (employer page)
Global VP seat on a consumer brand everyone in retail knows: owns the affiliate and live commerce demand engine scaling toward $1bn attributed demand, teams across markets, and the tech beneath it. Your commerce and performance background is the spine of it.
VP seat leading marketing across a UK portfolio of major venues: brand, audience growth, ticketing and sponsorship. Media and live entertainment fit; the page wants UK sport and venue network, which you would need to argue around.
SVP commercial seat for IMG Studios: commercial strategy for sports rights, sponsorship and branded content. Strong media and commercial fit at the right altitude; it is a commercial rather than a marketing chair and has been open since July.
AI consumer hardware (AI note-taker), bootstrapped, $250m revenue run rate per the page
Posted
15 Oct 2026 (employer board publishedAt)
AI consumer tech at speed: the regional marketing lead for a profitable AI hardware brand. Head title sits below your current level, so it works only if the scope and package are VP-sized; your AI-in-marketing reputation is the hook.
Frontier AI lab building its EMEA marketing from London. Head title, B2B developer audience, so it is a sector bet rather than a seniority step; the AI brand halo is the reason to look.
Hybrid, three days a week in the office (Tuesday to Thursday); regular EMEA travel
Comp as published
comp not stated
Sector
B2B SaaS (AI learning platform)
Posted
9 Jul 2026 (employer board publishedAt)
Exact title match (VP Marketing EMEA) at a listed AI learning platform, owning pipeline across UK, DACH and France. B2B rather than consumer, so a sector stretch; open since July.
London, Remote (role can be based in the USA, Canada, UK or France)
Pattern
Remote; the page says total work from home possible anywhere in the UK
Comp as published
comp not stated
Sector
B2B SaaS (learning), $240m raised per the page
Posted
25 Sep 2026 (employer page datePosted)
Exact title match (Global VP Marketing) leading a team of 20+, with UK-based remote stated by the employer itself. B2B SaaS, so sector fit is the weak point.
SVP altitude with digital marketing and the SaaS and subscription transition in scope, in London. Industrial software is outside your sectors, so it is here for seniority and scale rather than fit.
Remote (employer page: Remote Job; LinkedIn tag says United Kingdom)
Pattern
Full time, remote
Comp as published
comp not stated
Sector
Consumer tech (online ordering and hospitality tech), founder-led
Posted
Date opened 05/08/2026 as shown on the employer page
UK eligibility: NOT confirmed by the employer: the page says Remote Job only; UK appears on the LinkedIn tag.
A build-it CMO seat owning B2C strategy, brand and acquisition for a global ordering platform, working with the CEO. UK eligibility is not confirmed in the employer's own text (it says remote, nothing more), so treat that as a question for them.
Base pay range £89,000 to £115,000 (London); the page says total compensation is base plus bonus plus benefits and the range excludes bonus
Sector
Consumer marketplace
Posted
24 Sep 2026 (employer board updated_at)
Country GM with UK P&L, demand and supply, local marketing: a real commercial chair in a consumer marketplace. The published base is well under your level, so only the bonus and the IKEA path would make it work.
Retained search for a London luxury brand CMO building brand equity and international growth. Employer undisclosed, so no careers page to cross-check: aggregator-only, worth a direct call to Mode.
Consumer marketplace and AI platform for beauty and wellness, $1bn valuation per the listing
Posted
16 Oct 2026 (LinkedIn)
GM UK at a freshly minted unicorn marketplace, a strong consumer commercial chair. It is NOT on careers.fresha.com (Teamtailor board read live, no GM role listed), so aggregator-only until Fresha lists it.
