Brand & Commercial Marketing Manager

Detail The Opportunity

Do you enjoy turning ideas into action and seeing your work make a genuine commercial impact?

As Buitelaar Group continues to grow, we're investing in our marketing team and creating a new Marketing Manager role. This is a unique opportunity to join our Group Marketing team and work across both our Pet and Meat divisions, developing brands, supporting commercial growth and delivering marketing that makes a real difference. From day one, you'll have genuine responsibility, broad exposure across the business and the opportunity to help shape the future of our brands.

Established in 1922, Buitelaar Group is a fifth-generation, family-owned business operating across agriculture, meat, ingredients, pet food and raw materials, and hides and skins. With over 100 years of experience, we connect farmers, processors, retailers and manufacturers through integrated, traceable supply chains, supplying high-quality British and Irish beef alongside a growing portfolio of brands and agricultural businesses. We’re a business that values ownership, curiosity and people who enjoy taking responsibility.

We move quickly, work collaboratively and encourage our team to develop alongside the business.

Your role is to drive commercial growth by developing our brands, strengthening customer relationships and delivering marketing that creates measurable value for the business.

Your work will span everything from developing marketing campaigns and customer communications to improving websites, evolving brands, creating content, supporting customer relationships and delivering major exhibitions. You'll have the opportunity to get involved in long-term brand development projects whilst also delivering day-to-day marketing activity that supports business growth.

As your understanding of the business grows, the balance of your role will naturally evolve, with increasing responsibility for the strategic development of our meat marketing. By this stage, you'll already have built strong relationships across the business and have a solid understanding of our customers, brands and commercial objectives.

• Drive Innovation & Continuous Improvement – Measure performance, identify opportunities to improve results and embrace new technologies, to help the marketing team work smarter, deliver better insight and create greater commercial value.

We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership and thrives in a varied, fast-paced environment. You'll be equally comfortable planning a marketing campaign, coordinating an exhibition, visiting a customer or spending time on-farm gathering ideas and content. You'll enjoy building relationships and be confident working with colleagues, customers, chefs,…
