What you’ll bring…

You’ll be a commercially minded and highly collaborative marketer who knows how to turn strong partnerships into impactful campaigns. Strategic and creative in your thinking, you’ll combine excellent relationship management with the organisation, attention to detail and influencing skills needed to bring multiple teams together and deliver ambitious plans.

• Strong experience in brand marketing, account management or retail marketing, ideally gained within beauty, luxury, FMCG or another consumer-focused environment.
• Experience building and managing successful relationships with external brand partners and internal stakeholders.
• A proven ability to lead integrated, omnichannel campaigns from initial concept through to launch and performance review.
