Job description

PH1774 - Marketing Manager - Foodservice Food Concept

Location – Bristol, Taunton, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Exeter, Swindon, Reading, Southampton, Birmingham

Salary – £40,000 plus company benefits.

About the Company

We are one of the leading food concept providers to the Foodservice sector across the UK.

Over the last 25 years we have developed to be a market leader in our field with a brand name synonymous with our products and services.

We provide a turn‑key food‑to‑go solution predominantly to education and contract catering providers.

The majority of our client base is secondary education focussed but we also work with higher education, primary education and mainstream contract caterers.

Our success is based on implementing high service levels but also continued and strong NPD to enable our range to be both accessible, nutritious and appealing to our target consumers.

The Role

This position involves fully managing and implementing our marketing strategy across the UK. You will inherit a current and successful marketing plan – but will also have full control of this, so we welcome further input and development.

The role is creative in nature and involves all areas of marketing including brand management, social media (B2B) and promotions. You will lead in all areas and work closely with the Sales team to promote the product range and launch new products and flavours.

As our products are food‑led, the role can be quite hands‑on and is ideal for someone who has a passion for food.

The role is predominantly home based with one day a week in the office, so suits an experienced marketing candidate able to work autonomously.

The Applicant

We are seeking to speak to candidates with a strong passion for Food with all round marketing experience across varying disciplines.

• Candidates must be able to demonstrate experience across various marketing areas including brand management, digital and trade marketing.
• Candidates with a background in Business to Business marketing will be of strong interest.
• Experience in working with product‑based solutions or Food/FMCG will be advantageous.
• Candidates must be self‑starters in nature and able to work autonomously – but also have a strong team working ethos and a creative mindset.
