Are you a bold marketer with a passion for whisky? Do you want to build a brand from the ground up – not just run campaigns, but shape the entire journey?

Prize Whisky is not just another tasting gift set or whisky subscription box. We're a unique blind whisky experience that challenges, educates, and excites. Each undisclosed dram is part of a skill-based competition where customers test their senses and knowledge for the chance to win rare and exceptional bottles.

We’ve run a successful proof of concept. Now we’re ready to scale.

We’re looking for a Marketing Lead / Head of Marketing to take Prize Whisky from a promising startup to a nationally recognised (and potentially international) brand. This is a rare opportunity for someone who’s passionate about whisky and wants more than just a marketing job – this is about ownership, direction, and co-creating something special.

What this role looks like:

Leading and shaping the marketing strategy across digital, content, brand, and partnerships
Driving growth through both paid and organic channels
Building an engaged community of whisky lovers
Overseeing product storytelling, launches, and go-to-market campaigns
Working closely with the founder on commercial and brand direction
Playing a key role in fundraising, positioning, and long-term growth strategy

What we’re offering:

We want to be upfront – if you're looking for a large salary from day one, this role isn't for you. Prize Whisky is an early-stage venture, and your earnings will grow as we grow.

But you won’t just be joining a company — you’ll be helping build it. Coming in at what is effectively a founder level, we’re offering:

Equity options and meaningful ownership in the business
A real say in shaping brand, product, and strategy from the ground up
Flexible terms – open to part-time, freelance, phased, or unconventional structures
Creative freedom and the trust to execute bold ideas
A highly distinctive product and audience with early traction and clear potential
Monthly samples of Single Malt Whisky

Who we’re looking for:

You might be a senior marketer looking for something to own. A startup operator with a creative edge. Or an ambitious freelancer ready to go all-in on a new challenge.

What matters most is:

You know how to build and grow a brand
You can think big but execute lean
You’re hands-on, curious, and action-oriented
You’re excited about whisky, competitions, or brand storytelling – ideally all three
