Created over 20 years ago, this family-owned firm epitomises how a culture based on openness & fairness can create success & bring out the very best in everyone, which is underlined by a peerless record of staff retention & development.

Always offering a hand & being decent to everyone, financially & mindfully, is why this pioneering FMCG business’s products are now sold worldwide with offices in the UK, Australia, China, and the USA.

Their growth over the past few years has been phenomenal and shows no sign of easing up. It’s worth noting that most of their senior players started in junior roles.

The role

You’ll be in an environment totally geared towards helping people get the best from their careers, working with a talented group of marketers. Their principal commitment is to inspire and empower their people, which the business is deeply passionate about.

The focus of this position is to develop & deliver regional & global B2C & B2B brand plans, provide insights, and contribute to global brand strategy and planning. Key responsibilities include supporting the Brand Manager and the wider marketing team to deliver their 5-year brand growth plan, executing both short- and long-term brand strategies, and sharing regional insights with the global brand team.

You’ll also collaborate with sales and retailers, championing the brand across all channels such as social media, and supporting trade and consumer brand activation (e.g., POS, trade shows). Additionally, you'll oversee regional brand websites and manage relationships with digital, design, and communication agencies, including briefing and overseeing processes.

What we’re looking for

This company values individuals who are interested in working for an open & diverse firm that does not follow the norm. Attitude & temperament are key—this brand has made a significant market impact through superb positioning, marketing, and differentiation. Therefore, you should have a good understanding of how to utilize creativity, social & digital technology, and other marketing channels to deliver valuable communications for the brand.

Experience in brand development and activation within the FMCG sector would be advantageous, as well as the ability to analyze results. Experience working with a brand team, understanding global complexities, and global brand alignment would be a bonus.

This role may suit a marketing graduate with a placement experience or someone who has worked in an agency or marketing environment delivering integrated campaigns.

What’s on offer

A salary of up to £27,000, which will increase over time, as this company has a proven track record of rewarding and developing passionate marketers. The culture is driven by empowering employees to perform at their best, and the office environment is designed for personal welfare and enjoyment. The role is hybrid with flexible working and includes many other benefits to support your work-life balance.

The company is non-hierarchical and promotes from within; most senior marketers and directors started in junior roles, reflecting their success and prestige.
