The Role:
The Junior Brand Manager will be working across three brands, supporting on the company’s number one brand, managing and fully owning the company’s fastest-growing brand [double digit growth despite a declining category], and running the commercial relationship for a strategically key brand.

There are also some really exciting NPD projects in the pipeline that this assistant brand manager can get involved in [this will be a real category disruptor!].

This role reports into high flying and experienced Senior Brand Manager who has supported the two predecessors of this role with their progression into more senior positions. This line manager is a great coach and known internally as being a strong leader.

The Company:
This is a flexible business that offers loads of great benefits, training, and progression opportunities to their team. They are a bluechip organisation with iconic brands in their category. The category they operate in is a challenging one however this business has brands and lines that are in double-digit growth – a real testament to their NPD initiatives and success of the team behind them.

The Person:
For this assistant brand manager, we are looking for a high performing marketing executive [could be on a graduate rotation] or existing ABM who may be lacking something in terms of development, engagement, or culture in their existing business. You will be eager to learn, develop, and push yourself out of your comfort zone. This is a challenging category to be in so if you are looking for an easy life where the brand takes care of itself this is not the role for you. If you are up for hard work, learning, and having fun along the way then please do apply!
