Brand and Social Media Marketing Manager (Maternity Cover)

Are you ready to help shape and scale one of the UK’s most trusted gut health brands?

The Gut Health Doctor is looking for a passionate Brand & Social Media Marketing Manager to work closely with Dr Megan Rossi, leading the strategic direction, growth and day-to-day execution of our brand and social media marketing activity.

What started as a mission to translate gut health science into practical advice has grown into a global platform reaching millions of people across social media, books, media and digital education – alongside science-led consumer brands including Bio&Me and SMART STRAINS.

People follow The Gut Health Doctor because they trust the science, integrity and evidence-based approach behind everything we share.

This role plays a key part in protecting and growing that trust– helping shape how our work reaches the public, ensuring our messaging remains credible, relevant and impactful, and supporting the continued growth of a brand that sits at the intersection of science, media and consumer health.

Working closely with the founder, you’ll help bring the brand to life across multiple platforms – from social media and newsletters to press and brand collaborations – while identifying opportunities to grow our community and expand our impact.

This is a pivotal role for someone who can think strategically and make things happen – translating strategy into action.
