harmonised visual identities, coordinating brand activity across business units, and supporting stakeholder alignment during a
period of significant transformation.



This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-brand environment—balancing creative execution, stakeholder
engagement, and cross-functional coordination. You will act as a key contact for divisional MDs and marketing leads, ensuring
brand assets are adopted consistently, comms plans are aligned, and brand integrity is upheld across all touchpoints.

* Work with agencies or in-house designers to brief, review, and roll out creative assets
* Monitor visual and narrative alignment across digital channels, campaigns, and marketing materials




Project Management & Stakeholder Engagement

* Maintain a clear rollout plan with timelines, owners, and milestones for each brand’s identity refresh
* Track adoption progress across the brands and report back to marketing heads, supporting continuous improvement and
accountability
* Support preparation for brand reviews with senior leaders and divisional heads
* Work collaboratively with the central marketing team to deliver campaigns that reinforce brand cohesion



Profile & Experience:

Essential

* Stakeholders across MD and marketing levels actively using central brand templates and messaging
* Increased brand consistency observed across digital, print, sales collateral, and internal assets
