Job description

This isn't a role where you look after a single brand. As Marketing Manager, you'll lead strategy across one of Australia and New Zealand's most loved garden portfolios, and you'll help shape how Yates, Seasol and our New Zealand business show up together for our customers.

Our Home and Garden brands are coming together under one group strategy. You'll be part of that change from the start. You'll help design new ways of working, connect categories that have historically run separately, and build a five-year portfolio vision that shows our customers where the category is heading and how we'll get there.

You'll lead a talented team. You'll turn consumer insight into smart product, pack and portfolio decisions, and you'll pursue real growth opportunities in various categories. You'll also sit on the Yates Group Marketing Leadership Team and the extended DuluxGroup Marketing Leadership Team, so your work will be seen and your voice heard at senior level.
