Hybrid with 2 days a week in any London WeWork
We’re partnering with a London-based free-from bakery brand who are looking to expand their marketing team by adding an Assistant Brand Manager to report to the Head of Brand. They are currently listed in four major retailers and are currently repositioning the brand so this is an extremely exciting time to join as it gives you the opportunity to influence their visual identity and tone of voice. You will have exposure to Shopper Marketing, NPD and Digital whilst working closely with external agencies.
This is a hugely exciting role for someone who wants to broaden their skills across brand/marketing within a high-growth and innovative brand. If you’re currently in a Marketing Executive or ABM position or simply just want to expand your skillset – this will be perfect for you!
Roles and Responsibilities
This role has a keen focus on brand strategy and ensuring brand plans are stuck to whilst hitting business objectives. You will be responsible for shopper marketing and social media/content creation guaranteeing the brand tone of voice and communication is the same across all channels. Working closely with the Head of Brand and the product teams, you will be designing packaging and NPD/EPD with the help of external agencies. This role will give you the opportunity to learn of an experienced Head of Brand and Marketing Director within the FMCG space.
Skills & Attributes
In order to thrive in this position, it’s crucial that you have at least 2 years’ experience in a Marketing/Brand position within an FMCG company. This business is extremely fast-paced so being organised and having excellent attention to detail will allow you to work quickly but efficiently! The team is lean so you will have responsibility from day 1, therefore the ability to be flexible and be a team-player is essential as they want you to love working with them as well as work hard!
You should be comfortable using Adobe Suite from day 1, as you will be expected to throw your hands in at content editing before it goes live on social channels/packaging. If you have experience in shopper marketing, NPD and digital that would be a dream. And last but not least, you must be passionate about food because where would any food brand be without passion?!
Benefits
Their basic salary is competitive with an opportunity for a performance-based annual bonus as well as a 4% pension contribution. They have 33 days holiday (including BH) and tailored training programmes from day 1 to help you grow in your role but also personally. They are extremely keen for employees to feel valued and empowered to thrive so have extra learning and development opportunities.
This role can be based either in Edinburgh or London.
