We’re working with a fast-scaling consumer business in the health & wellness space, looking for someone to lead their Ready-to-Drink (RTD) category. This brand is a major strategic focus for the business, and they’re looking for a Marketing Manager who can take full ownership of building and delivering the GTM plan.

If you’re excited by pace, creativity and the chance to shape a brand’s presence in a new category, this is a brilliant opportunity.

You’ll lead the end-to-end marketing approach for the RTD line — from positioning and messaging, to launch execution and ongoing brand building.

You’ll work closely with Digital, Sales, Product and Creative to develop integrated plans that drive awareness, trial and repeat purchase.

This is a genuinely broad, hands-on role with huge exposure and autonomy.

• Build and deliver the full GTM plan for the RTD launch.
• Define the brand positioning, messaging and launch calendar.

• Develop integrated campaigns across digital, retail, PR, OOH and experiential.
• Oversee creative output to ensure consistency of tone and storytelling.
• Lead paid social, influencer activity and community-building content.

• Identify partnerships that align to performance, lifestyle and wellness audiences.
• Own sampling activity — from planning to execution — to drive trial at scale.
• Support Sales & Shopper teams with in-store activation and retail visibility.

• Track campaign performance and key commercial metrics.
• Use insight to optimise plans and inform future activity.

• Manage brand budgets and ensure efficient, high-ROI spend.

• Previous experience in consumer marketing (FMCG, beverage or wellness ideal).
• Experience launching or scaling a consumer product — RTD or drinks a plus.
• Strong grasp of brand building, digital activation and retail marketing.
• Data-led, commercially minded and comfortable making decisions.
• Excellent project manager — organised, proactive and solutions-focused.
• Passionate about health, performance and emerging consumer trends.

• High-growth brand with big category ambitions.
• Full ownership of a major new product launch.
• Exposure across brand, digital, retail and partnerships.
• Flexible working, strong benefits and supportive leadership.
• Big scope to make an impact as the RTD range scales.
