We're already achieving remarkable feats at 5miles, but there's a critical missing piece: the power to communicate our excellence to our clients, members, and the world at large. As our Marketing Lead, you'll wield this power to expand our brand's presence, nurture leads, and cultivate a unified message that resonates with our audience.

This isn't just a job; it's a chance to lead, to innovate, and to transform the way we connect with our community. You'll be entrusted with substantial responsibilities and the opportunity to be at the forefront of our evolution into a scale-up, all while working closely with our founder & CEO.

  In summary, you'll have the opportunity to shape the marketing landscape by working on a wide array of projects, spanning the strategic, tactical and operational spectrum.
