Do you have a passion for storytelling through product and brand strategy? Are you a commercially minded marketer who knows what it takes to drive sales and spark customer engagement? We're looking for a Brand Manager to take ownership of our G&B Home Living Licensed brands, delivering exciting new products, launching innovative campaigns and bringing our collections to life across global markets.

• Developing and delivering strategic brand plans across key product categories, focused on sales, margin and market growth.
• Launching new collections into the market on time, within budget and with impact.
• Managing the end‑to‑end product development process, from concept to shelf (and screen), collaborating closely with design, supply and retail teams.
• Briefing and guiding the Design team with customer insight and sales data to ensure on‑trend, commercially viable products.
• Owning the in‑store and online presentation of your brands, ensuring they’re compelling, consistent and always on‑brand.
• Managing range segmentation, pricing and lifecycle planning to avoid SKU duplication and drive margin.
• Regularly reviewing EPOS and performance data to make informed decisions and champion bestselling products.
• Managing and mentoring a Marketing Assistant, helping them grow and deliver top‑class support.
• Leading presentations for internal and external stakeholders, including international buyers and retail partners.
• Working closely with global retailers to ensure our brands are represented with excellence and creativity.

• Proven experience in a brand, category or product management role, ideally within FMCG, homeware or lifestyle.
• A commercial thinker who’s confident using data to influence decision‑making.
• A creative collaborator who thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills – able to juggle deadlines and brief teams clearly.
• Experience leading projects across multiple departments and markets.
• Prior people‑management experience is a bonus, but not essential.
• Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint and data‑driven decision‑making.
• A full UK driving licence.

• Your birthday off.
• Self‑managed time – flexibility to plan your day to deliver exciting brand initiatives.
• Hybrid working – option to work remotely 20% of the week.
• A fantastic discount of up to 60% – perfect for giving your home a makeover.
• A generous pension scheme (totalling 10%).
• Free parking and access to company vehicles for business needs.
• Regular social events hosted by our Fun Squad.

This is a hybrid role based in our Blackburn Design Centre, offering creativity, autonomy, and the chance to make your mark on much‑loved brands. If you’re a Brand Manager ready to take ownership and elevate innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
