Brand Managers - ambitious foodies wanted

Location: HQ Southwest London, hybrid working
£40,000 to £55,000 depending on experience, + bonus + bens.

Our client's global organisation stands out as a prominent international cuisine category champion today. Proud of owning a few of Britain’s favourite best-known and most loved FMCG food brands, a passion for food is what our client is all about. To build on UK success the parent company is now ready to develop the plans for a national launch of a completely new, never seen before, branded portfolio of food products. The timing is perfect now as ‘foodie’ consumers the world overlook for newness in the next generation of culinary movement – our client has the answer!

The mission is to find two ambitious FMCG consumer marketers ready to step up or expand their learning to a more autonomous role with responsibility for a well-known brand and make an essential contribution to owning and executing the marketing plan.

Your experience in the past 3-7 years as a fiercely ambitious Brand Manager will clearly mark you out as a talented and determined marketeer, passionate about food consumerism. You are already working in the branded food world, ideally within a classical, structured marketing function with brands recognised in today's supermarkets and homes. Reporting to the head of brands, you’ll be part of a capable team, charged with delivering numerous marketing initiatives including a fully integrated communication strategy, and a significant NPD pipeline with category-busting innovation!

You will be integral to every aspect of brand development from innovation to in-store activation. Your track record has instilled in you a concrete strength in the fundamentals of consumer marketing, integrated 360 execution including relevant digital communication knowledge, and working with agency relationships. What’s more, you’ll have a strong desire to express your creativity and judgment delivering inspiring marketing campaigns.

These roles demand real conviction, pace, and energy - someone who wants to make a big difference. A confident and positive character, coupled with a constantly enquiring mind, you’ll love winning hearts and minds with your infectious excitement. Our client is looking for the right people with the right attitude to learn and “do”, people who can demonstrate commercial aptitude as budding marketing-minded entrepreneurs.
