Own Brand Product Manager – 12 months FTC

Handforth Support Office (2-3 days per week) | Hybrid Working

At Pets, we believe pets are part of the family. That's why we're on a mission to create products that help pets live happier, healthier and more playful lives.

From innovative treats that earn a four-paw rating, to products that solve real problems for pet parents, our own brands are a huge part of what makes us special. And now we're looking for an Own Brand Product Manager on a 12 months contract to help shape what's next.

If you're passionate about brand and retail trends, turning insights into brilliant ideas, and developing brands that customers genuinely love, this could be your perfect role.

What's the role all about?

You’ll help shape brand strategies, identify opportunities for innovation, develop compelling brand propositions and bring exciting launches to life. Working across Commercial, Marketing, Product Development, Creative and agency partners, you’ll help ensure our own brands (such as Wainwright’s, Step Up and Wildways to namedrop a few) stay relevant, distinctive and loved by pet parents nationwide.

No two days are the same. One day you might be reviewing customer insights to identify the next big opportunity. The next, you’ll be collaborating on a new launch or helping define the future vision for one of our own brands.

Identifying customer, category and market opportunities that can be turned into winning brand propositions

A few things you’ll be doing:

Supporting the development of long-term own brand strategies and growth plans

Identifying customer, category and market opportunities that can be turned into winning products and propositions

Helping deliver brand refreshes, product innovations and range extensions

Bringing product concepts to life through compelling branding and packaging

Monitoring performance and customer feedback to ensure brands continue to thrive

Working with research agencies and analysing market trends to keep us ahead of the pack

Acting as an ambassador for our brands across the business

Managing key brand administration processes and governance activities

What we’re looking for

Genuine love of branding, products and customer experience is essential.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience in Brand Management, Product Marketing or a similar role
• Strong strategic and analytical thinking
• Commercial awareness and customer focus
• Confidence building relationships across multiple teams
• Experience managing projects from concept through to launch
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Curiosity, creativity and a willingness to challenge the status quo

Retail experience would be advantageous, and experience within the pet sector would earn extra paws.

Why Pets?

Because you’ll be joining a business filled with people who genuinely care about pets, pet parents and each other.

We’re ambitious, collaborative and always looking for better ways to do things. You’ll have the opportunity to influence products seen by millions of customers while working alongside talented colleagues who share your passion for innovation and growth.

And yes, there will be plenty of conversations about pets too.

Pets just see people. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we’re happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments needed throughout the recruitment process.

Ready to help shape the next generation of products that pets and pet parents will love?
