Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

We are Global Brands Ltd - the leading independent drinks brand development business that owns, markets and distributes an enviable collection of products across the RTD/RTS, spirits, soft drinks and beer categories.

At Global Brands, we're not your average drinks company. We're passionate about pushing boundaries, sparking conversations, and making a real impact in the digital space. If you're looking for a dynamic environment where creativity thrives and ideas come to life, you've come to the right place.

Our amazing range of products include the award-winning Franklin & Sons premium soft drinks & craft mixer range, the student favourite VK, the 90s icon HOOCH and our category disrupting All Shook Up and Shake Baby Shake canned cocktails.

Our Head Office is based within our own award winning 4-star Hotel CASA in Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire.

Role overview:

If you thrive in the fast-paced, results-driven world of agency life but are looking for a role with more stability and long-term impact, this could be the opportunity for you. We're seeking a dynamic and strategic content leader to head up our in-house content team. This hands-on role is critical to driving performance and shaping our content strategy.

With an agency background and a proven track record of career progression, you’ll bring a passion for delivering impactful content and achieving results—without the pressure of client acquisition or new business development. You’ll lead a team of three content managers, delivering against KPIs across our brand portfolio, pushing creative boundaries, and building best-in-class content strategies—while enjoying the journey along the way.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, support, and develop a team of three content managers to deliver against KPIs and personal objectives.
• Collaborate with the Head of Brand to define and execute the overarching content strategy.
• Oversee content planning, execution, and performance measurement across all relevant channels.
• Co-create social media guidelines with the brand team, covering tone of voice, visual identity, and aesthetic.
• Own and manage the email strategy, including content creation and database management.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with third-party suppliers and influencers to produce credible and engaging content.
• Stay attuned to audience preferences—what they engage with, who they follow, and which platforms they use—and integrate these insights into your strategy.
• Monitor and report on content performance monthly, using data to inform ongoing improvements and validate ROI.
• Manage spend in line with approved budgets, following all internal purchase order processes.
• Support content creation and coordination for PR activities—both editorial and advertorial—in partnership with the brand manager.

About you:

• Experience in a strategic content role, ideally within an agency or fast-paced environment.
• A creative communicator with a passion for high-quality, impactful content.
• Deep understanding of multi-channel content marketing—across both digital and traditional platforms.
• High energy, proactive, and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Committed to continuous learning and staying ahead of industry trends and innovations.
• Proven experience managing and developing teams.

What we offer:

• Enrolment in our health and wellness scheme
• A culture of learning, development, and growth—your success is our priority
• Four days in the office, one day remote
• Company pension
• Free daily lunch
• Free on-site parking
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact, be part of something bigger, and help shape the future of iconic brands

If you are a motivated and ambitious individual with a passion for great content and a desire to make an impact on some iconic brands, we want to hear from you!
