Are you someone who loves bringing brands to life and turning great products into commercial success stories? Do you thrive on coordinating campaigns, building supplier relationships, and creating marketing strategies that genuinely drive growth?

If this sounds like you, a leading health, beauty and wellness distribution business is looking for a Brand & Marketing Development Executive to take ownership of a growing portfolio of exciting brands.

About the Company

Our client is a respected distributor serving a nationwide network of independent pharmacy and retail customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and coordinate marketing plans for supplier and own-label brands.
• Manage a rolling promotional calendar across email campaigns, websites, catalogues and other marketing channels.
• Coordinate product launches from concept through to market execution.
• Build strong relationships with suppliers, acting as the key point of contact for marketing activity and approvals.
• Work alongside sales teams to identify commercial opportunities and maximise brand visibility.
• Manage and grow social media channels, including LinkedIn, Instagram and other relevant platforms.
• Brief and coordinate external creative resources, ensuring campaigns are delivered on time and to brand standards.
• Monitor campaign effectiveness and recommend improvements based on results.

Support artwork, packaging and creative updates using tools such as Canva and Adobe Creative Suite.

• Take ownership of your own portfolio of brands and influence their growth.
• Work with innovative health, wellness and personal care products entering the UK market.
