The Collecting Group operates two of the most respected platforms in the luxury collectibles market; Collecting Cars and Watch Collecting. Between them, they serve a global community of high-net-worth enthusiasts who transact at the top end of the market. We have sold over £1.1 billion worth of cars and watches across 120+ countries, and built a community of millions of people. Now we are looking for a CMO to own that brand and grow it deliberately. Someone who understands that in a world of shortening attention spans and AI-generated noise, a genuine reputation built on trust and expertise is one of the few things that cannot be replicated. The Role: At The Collecting Group, the CMO is a senior leadership role with full ownership of marketing strategy across the group. Reporting to the CEO, you will define how TCG builds brand authority, grows its audience, and converts that audience into commercial outcomes across both platforms. This is a strategic and commercial role. You will set the direction, build the function, and be accountable for the results. Day-to-day campaign execution is not the focus; defining how the group competes for attention and trust in its markets is - especially organically and sustainably. The group has significant growth ambitions. New platforms, new categories, and new markets are part of the roadmap. The CMO will play a central role in shaping how the brand evolves as that ambition is realised.
