Job description

Assistant Brand Manager - Heritage — 12-month FTC, Slough (HQ) Hybrid

We operate a dynamic working model built on trust, choice and balance. Colleagues typically connect in person 3 days per week, as we know the best ideas and relationships grow when we collaborate side by side. We also offer Dynamic Friday Hours, giving colleagues the opportunity to flex their time and finish early on a Friday, where the role allows.

About the role

We’re looking for a passionate marketer to join our Brand team at KP Snacks on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on some of our most loved heritage brands (Nik Naks, Skips, Disco’s, etc.) in a fun, friendly and fast-paced environment. You’ll help shape and deliver our marketing plans, support product development and bring campaigns to life. If you’re ready to make an impact and grow your skills, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

• Annual bonus scheme, with a strong track record of overachievement

• Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care

• KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

• 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

• KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

• Support the brand team to deliver the 3-year strategy and plan for our heritage brands

• Lead cross-functional projects through our stage gate process

• Collaborate with agencies to execute TTL campaigns

• Analyse brand performance and consumer data to generate insight-led actions

• Manage the marketing budget, including tracking, reporting and PO processes

Who are we?

We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion

We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

• Strong knowledge of brand marketing and consumer behaviour

• Practical skills in project management and performance analysis

• Relevant experience in FMCG, food or retail marketing

• Bonus points for digital campaign experience or analytical tools – but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box

• A growth mindset and a collaborative approach – you’re curious, proactive and ready to learn
