Job description

Brilliant opportunity to join a major international consumer goods group, taking direct ownership of an aspirational, purpose-driven brand portfolio across the UK & Ireland.

While backed by global enterprise scale, the local marketing team operates like a nimble challenger squad - creative, fast-paced, and with a refreshingly leaner, ideas-first culture. Reporting into the Head of Marketing, this role is built for a marketer who wants real hands-on accountability, driving brand love, trial, and commercial performance across wellness, lifestyle, and premium beverage categories.

As part of a focused, energetic commercial team, your remit covers the entire marketing mix. You will champion high-impact consumer campaigns, spearhead social and disruptive shopper activations, drive NPD and packaging updates from brief to shelf, and partner closely with retail commercial leads to build momentum in UK grocery.

Background wise – whether you’re a Brand Manager looking for a more vibrant, empowered culture where your ideas actually see the light of day, or a sharp, ambitious Assistant Brand Manager ready to step up and build toward full brand ownership, we’re going to want to talk to you!

Hybrid / flexible working (West London base)

Clear runway to step up and build full brand ownership

Supportive, forward-thinking marketing leadership

Vibrant, collaborative, ideas-first culture

Requirements

• Branded FMCG marketing or brand activation experience
• End-to-end campaign execution (social, sampling, shopper, retail)
