Careers with Open Velocity
We’re a consultancy focused on accelerating businesses’ journeys to profitable growth.
Our team of marketing consultants have decades of experience across a broad range of sectors. Our collaborative approach builds strong relationships with our clients, strengthening them with our collective knowledge.
We are a growing consultancy and like to keep our eyes and ears open for talented marketers who could add their skills to us when the time is right.
We purposefully hire on a fully employed basis rather than working with associated consultants on a sub contracted basis. We think this gives our clients the best possible outcome as our model is built on consistency, quality control and a structured client experience. It also means you get to really be part of our team and immerse yourself in our culture and ways of working. It works for us, for you and our clients.
We are remote first as this gives us the opportunity to hire the best people no matter where they are in the UK. Importantly, it also allows us to work flexible hours and to balance our passions and other commitments.
Who we hire
We are comfortable with complexity – diving into our client’s business challenges and working out how marketing strategy can contribute to solving them. This requires someone with substantial marketing experience who has worked in senior roles. To give you some idea of the sort of roles that we hire for and the level of experience we look for, the way we are currently structured includes these main roles:
- Senior Partner – typically CMO level, highly experienced, providing strategic leadership
- Partner – Head of Marketing level, delivering high-impact consultancy work
What We Look For
We mainly look for two things when hiring – experience and cultural fit.
When it comes to experience, we’re after people who have worked across B2B and B2C – building out the foundations of strong marketing strategies, defining growth and go to market plans, measuring performance, and assessing skills and capabilities. As well as leading teams and working alongside C-Suite colleagues. You will need the ability to work in a high-performing consulting environment remotely but also as part of the team.
Culturally you will need an entrepreneurial mindset; be accountable; happy to challenge the status quo; have respect for all aspects of each other’s lives as well as our clients; be ambitious for yourself, your colleagues, your clients and Open Velocity itself.
Applying
We will publish any vacancies we have on this page, but in the meantime we are open to hearing from talented marketers who think they might be a good fit with us. If you feel that’s you and would like to share some information about yourself, please fill in the form below and a member of the team will review your details and get back to you if there is an appropriate opportunity.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and has the opportunity to succeed.
A note on work experience and internships
Unfortunately due to the remote first nature of our business we’re unable to offer work experience or internship opportunities.
“Open Velocity provided vital marketing support at a pivotal time in YorkTest’s ongoing journey to build on our UK market presence and expand into the US. Their support has contributed to a record year for our company in 2022 and helped us lay solid foundations for future growth”
“Over the past 9 months Bethan has been an integral part of translating our growth ambitions into a tangible long term plan and has worked closely with our senior team to define and validate an exciting new direction for the business.”
“Working with Bethan has been a huge success for our business and I personally can't recommend her enough. She worked with our marketing function and in a short few months, completely reset our strategy and vision for the growth of the agency. We initially engaged her for a one-off project but the value she has been able to contribute has led us to extend our partnership for the foreseeable future.”
“Requirements were captured in a very short space of time, and the end result is always to a very high standard. We could not operate at the level we are without support from Open Velocity. We hope to continue this relationship for many years to come, thank you for all the support so far!”
“Working with Open Velocity has been extremely valuable for 34SP. They helped us understand what makes us special in a busy market and how to share that message with our customers. Their work has made a big difference for our business, giving us a solid foundation to continue to build upon.”
