Marketing Leader - Brand Iconoclast wanted!

Location:
London HQ, office based 3 days pw

Around £130,000 + bonus + exec benefits

Consider the remit: enormous growth opportunities for iconic innovation in a fast and furious, complex and mature ambient food category, where continued growth is the uncompromising priority. Throw in the re-set of a large brand portfolio, simplification of marketing processes and resources, the impact of digital content and talkability, a multitude of A&P investment projects, a significant sized team…. and the role is starting to come to life!

The focus of this role is leading the charge with a fearless conviction and self-belief that you will be the next CMO!

Our client is a UK category leader of consumer goods, a £500m+ branded food business. They reach and delight the hearts and minds of millions of consumers across the globe. The organisation has enjoyed an amazing transformation recently and is setting new parameters for fast paced organic and M&A growth.

Adding to the gene pool of marketing experts, this role needs an iconoclast. A formidable consumer marketer with a relentless desire to champion unimaginable ideas, you will play a vitally important part to optimise brand execution at every touch point possible with consumers.

You’ll account for measurable marketing activity, fast-paced and timely execution of multi brand product innovation and activation. You will be adept at providing intelligent commentary and a strategic view at UK and Group Board meetings on a regular basis, winning hearts and minds with flair.

Your classical FMCG marketing training, profound experience, and an impressive list of accolades in large or SME branded businesses will mark you out as gifted and talented. Digital comms development, fast-paced brand activation in new advertising formats will ideally be your ‘super power’. Innovation and invention as well as renovation must be your norm. Leading a sizeable team, you’ll be charged with defining best ways of working and performing.

The role demands real conviction and energy - someone with obvious self-confidence who passionately wants to make a real difference. You will need strong commercial skills, bags of IQ and EQ, coupled with a constantly enquiring mind and a natural ability to lead and influence others with a strong voice. Our client is looking for the right person with positive attitude, adaptability, and resilience, someone who can demonstrate genuine depth of character to the core.

Whether you’re a Director or Head-of department today, stifled by the shackles of your current role in big or small Co, looking to step change your accountability, this role is packed with a sense of adventure and variety across multiple brands. Here you will have genuine autonomy, and an influential seat at the top table.

This is the role you’ve been waiting for as your next step to building a legacy for truly great, creative marketing innovation.
