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’ products are now sold worldwide with offices in the UK, Australia, China, and USA.

Their growth over the past few years has been nothing short of phenomenal and shows no sign of easing up, and it’s worth noting that most of their senior players started in junior roles.

The role

You’ll be in an setting which is totally geared towards helping people get the best from their careers, and you’ll be mixing with a sublime group of marketers. Their principal commitment to its people is to inspire and empower, and it’s something the business is deeply passionate about.

The focus of this position is to develop & deliver regional & global B2C & B2B brand plans, as well as providing insight, and input into global brand strategy and planning. Key to the role will be supporting the Brand Manager & with the wider marketing team, deliver their 5-year brand growth plan, and execute the short- and long-term brand strategy, sharing regional insight with global brand team.

You’ll also work with sales and the retailers, championing the brand, across all forms such as social, and support with the delivery of trade and consumer brand activation (e.g. POS / Trade shows). You’ll also oversee regional brand websites, and manage day to day relationships with digital, design and communication agencies, including briefing & overseeing processes.

What we’re looking for

This company prioritises people that have a vested interest in working for a firm that is open & diverse and without question, does not follow the norm. Attitude & temperament is key– this brand has made a deep impact on the market, since it has been superbly positioned, marketed, and differentiated. For this reason, you will need a sound understanding of how to make the best use of creativity, social & digital technology, and wider marketing channels to deliver communications that provide the most value to this brand.

An understanding of brand development and activation within the FMCG scene would be an advantage, as well as the ability to analyse results, and experience working with a brand team, having an understanding of global complexities and global brand alignment would be the icing on the cake.

It may suit an up & coming marketing graduate who has done a placement under their belt, or someone who has been in a marketing or agency environment where you have been delivering integrated campaigns.

What’s on offer

A salary of up to £27,000 which will increase over time because this company has a proven history of rewarding and enhancing the careers of passionate marketers. A culture which is driven by empowering its people to perform at the best of their abilities, plus an office space which is designed specifically for personal welfare & enjoyment. The role is hybrid and offers flexible working, too, alongside many other benefits which will help your working life in more ways than one.

It is also worth noting that the company is non-hierarchical and not afraid to promote and develop from within; most of their senior marketers and directors started in junior roles which is also a testament to their success & prestige.
