The Role

We are looking for someone with a hunger to bring our vision to life. Join an industry award-winning portfolio team working across an everyday baking portfolio found in over 60% of Australian homes, with more than 100 million products sold each year. You'll help shape the next phase of growth across Helga's, Australia's #1 premium baking brand, Wonder, our #1 family baking brand, and JUST, our newest innovator brand.

The Who

You're a high performer and natural self-starter who brings energy, ownership and pace to everything you do. When faced with challenges, your instinct is to ask “how do we make this possible?” or “what needs to be true?” rather than defaulting to no. You're comfortable working at speed and managing competing priorities in a daily fresh national model, while maintaining strong attention to detail and without compromising on quality. You believe marketing is more than advertising, with a true appreciation for the full 4Ps. You are as comfortable bringing in-store POS and ATL creative to life as you are reviewing and understanding the drivers of your P&L. You bring a commercial, curious and solutions-focused mindset, and work collaboratively to influence stakeholders and deliver great outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Drive & execute current innovation pipeline for the brand across retail & foodservice
• Develop & shape future innovation plans – leveraging key consumer insights, competitive environment, customer priorities and company capability. Ability to influence from concept all the way to execution (commercials, customer sell-in, packaging, product, etc).
• Drive and execute the communication plans, executing with brilliance in market
• Challenger mindset to driving brand growth in marketing activities. Development and implementation of high impact marketing to drive long & short-term uplifts
• Lead portfolio optimisation to drive incremental profit

What You Need

• 4+ years of brand marketing experience gained within the FMCG/Consumer Goods industry
• Degree qualified in a relevant discipline – Business, Marketing, Communications highly regarded
• Proven experience in leading cross functional projects
• Experience in leading NPD projects- commercial acumen highly regarded
• Experience in brand equity, digital, social and Shopper activation campaigns highly regarded
• Strong internal and external stakeholder management
