Job description

Are you highly numerate, analytical and confident working with complex data?

Do you have experience supporting artwork, packaging or NPD projects within an FMCG environment?

Are you looking for a broad marketing role offering exposure to international markets, major retail channels and genuine career progression?

MacGregor Black is partnering with a leading FMCG business on the appointment of a Marketing Executive. This is a permanent, hybrid role based in High Wycombe, requiring three days per week in the office.

This newly created position will report to the Sales and Marketing Manager, providing support across a busy portfolio of established consumer brands and multiple European markets.

This is considerably broader than a traditional administrative marketing role. The successful candidate will support data reporting and commercial analysis, artwork and NPD projects, agencies, suppliers and international distributor partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce and maintain accurate sales, market and performance reports.
• Support the interpretation of data to identify trends and inform commercial decisions.
• Coordinate artwork, packaging and NPD activity from initial brief through to approval.
• Maintain project trackers, stage-gate documentation, version control and action plans.
• Liaise with creative agencies, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Support international distributors across Southern Europe and the Nordic markets.
• Coordinate translations, presentations, product samples and launch materials.
• Raise purchase orders, process invoices and maintain budget trackers.
• Support wider marketing projects, meetings and events.
• Proactively manage competing priorities and ensure actions are completed accurately and on time.

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptional numerical and analytical capability, ideally supported by an A or A* in A-Level Mathematics or an equivalent numerical qualification.
• Some experience within marketing, FMCG, retail, a consumer brand or a relevant placement year.
• Exposure to artwork, packaging or NPD processes would be highly advantageous.
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills, with the ability to work confidently with detailed data.
• Commercial curiosity and an interest in grocery retail, margins, distribution and production.
• Excellent attention to detail, organisation and project coordination skills.
• A hardworking, proactive approach with the confidence to use initiative.
• The ability to communicate effectively across different cultures and working styles.
• Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or another relevant European language would be advantageous.
• An ambition to develop a long-term career within FMCG marketing.

What’s on Offer

• Medical cover
• Flexible working hours and an early Friday finish
• Broad exposure across marketing, commercial, NPD, supply chain and international distribution
• Genuine development and progression opportunities as the team grows
