Who are we?

Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies.

Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together.

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout.

We'd love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience:

1. A strong passion for brands and marketing, with an understanding of consumer behaviour and market trends. Experience working with consumer brand data, analytics, and reporting to drive informed decision-making.
2. A natural relationship builder with excellent communication skills, able to engage with a wide range of stakeholders. Highly organised with the ability to multitask, manage budgets, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. A proactive self-starter who is curious, eager to learn, and not afraid to ask for help.
3. At least one year of FMCG experience, bringing insight into the pace and challenges of the industry. Hands-on experience with ERP systems and budget management, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in reporting and planning.
4. We’re looking for someone with a growth mindset, eager to develop and stretch themselves. If you have experience in marketing campaigns, digital tools, or additional analytical skills, that’s a plus—but not essential!
