Marketing Portfolio Required

Candidates must be willing to present a portfolio of previous marketing work during the selection process. We want to see actual examples of campaigns you have helped create or lead, including brand-building campaigns, digital/performance campaigns, creative work, product launches, or international marketing initiatives. Where possible, the portfolio should show the candidate's specific contribution and measurable results, such as improvements in brand awareness, reach, engagement, traffic, conversion, market penetration, or sales.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

You will suit this role if you are both strategic and hands‑on. You understand what makes a brand distinctive, can recognize strong creative work, understand the numbers behind marketing performance, and know how to turn ideas into campaigns that consumers notice and remember. You should be comfortable building with internal teams and technology, rather than simply briefing agencies and waiting for them to deliver.
