Brand Manager

Brand Manager

Working for a locally owned, iconic FMCG manufacturer can often be career defining.

This is one of those organisations that has built something genuinely special. It has a large, highly capable marketing team that would be the envy of many FMCG businesses, brands with real meaning and a category full of highly involved consumers who genuinely care about what they buy and the quality of the products they use. They are loyal, engaged and connected to the brands.

It's also a business that continues to invest, innovate and think about what's next. For a marketer, there is plenty to get your teeth into.

You will be a Brand Manager who has had classical FMCG brand management training, ideally with some experience in a manufacturing environment. You'll be as comfortable in front of a spreadsheet as you are developing brand and category plans, managing budgets and leading a complex group of stakeholders.

You'll be commercially minded, with a strong understanding of sales, margin and profitability. Complex projects won't intimidate you, and excellent analytical and problem-solving skills are essential.

You'll work closely with an experienced marketer with a brilliant mind and be heavily involved in a significant pipeline of NPD and innovation over the next 12–24 months. There is good resource to tap into, and you'll enjoy leading projects and owning the outcome. The brands you are responsible for have profile and genuinely matter to the wider business.

This is a unique Brand Manager position with some very appealing career opportunities to aim for. You'll need to be comfortable in your own skin, humble and a great listener. These roles aren't as common as they once were, so don't overlook how good this opportunity could be for an up-and-coming FMCG brand marketer.
