Mission

We help busy people enjoy natural, healthy eating with ready-to-eat meals delivered to their door, proven to support their health goals.

Open Communication: We communicate directly and honestly

High Performance: We foster an environment that attracts, retains, and rewards high performance

Agility: We encourage flexibility in our people by reducing blockers and prioritising their creativity and productivity

Impact

This is a cross-functional, fast-paced role that blends creative execution with commercial thinking. You’ll be responsible for managing key brand initiatives across product marketing, creative campaigns, digital channels, paid advertising and social content.

You’ll be the brand’s day-to-day lead across Frive’s digital platforms, product launches, ATL campaigns, packaging, and partnerships — working hand-in-hand with internal teams, agencies and freelancers to drive impact.

Responsibilities:

• Support the planning and execution of Frive’s organic social calendar

Product Marketing & Launches

• Lead on digital product marketing across website, app, and CRM
• Manage the end-to-end process for new and existing meal launches (naming, messaging, rollout)
• Own Frive’s brand presence across digital platforms, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints

Campaigns & PR

• Manage the rollout of 360 brand campaigns across all owned channels (website, app, email, social, packaging)
• Lead on ATL campaign delivery in collaboration with internal teams and agencies
• Coordinate and deliver Digital PR activity in partnership with Frive’s PR agency

Creative & Production

• Support and co-lead creative shoots, including briefing, art direction and on-set execution
• Help shape and execute the brand’s visual identity across campaign and always-on content
• Ensure every brand touchpoint reflects Frive’s tone, aesthetic and ambition

Partnerships, Merch & Ambassadors

• Lead and manage brand partnerships — identifying, executing and growing relationships
• Own Frive-branded merchandise — from concept to production and distribution
• Support the development of Frive’s creator and ambassador strategies

Reporting & Optimisation

• Track performance across campaigns and brand activations — distilling learnings into actionable insights
• Work closely with Growth and Brand teams to inform future campaigns and product decisions

About you

• Brand-Obsessed: You understand how to build and maintain a compelling brand across every customer touchpoint.
• Strong Communicator: You’re clear, concise, and confident in managing internal and external relationships.
• Commercially Smart: You balance creativity with a strong understanding of what drives awareness and impact.
• Highly Organised: You can juggle multiple projects with moving parts – without losing sight of the detail.
• Collaborative Operator: You’re great at working cross-functionally and bringing others on the journey.
