TL10796

Smart, commercially astute, brand passionate FMCG marketer required to take on a much-loved, long-established food brand which has recently seen some exciting innovation work and has great development potential.  Working in what is a highly competitive and congested sector, your challenge is to drive this brand forward, retaining the many loyalists but driving trial amongst new consumers and own-label buyers.  Supported by a small team and a significant ATL and BTL budget, you'll have the opportunity to show your flair and develop winning business and marketing strategies.  This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading global FMCG business, managing local initiatives but being closely involved in pan-European NPD initiatives too in what is a dynamic and lively business culture.

Our Ideal Candidate

A robust training in a leading FMCG environment is a pre-requisite for this role together with business/marketing education and training.  You will have gained broad exposure across the mix including ATL planning/development and involvement in NPD with at least one successful launch under your belt.  Strong commercial skills are key with a good understanding of grocery and trading issues: you'll also have a solid grasp of continuous panel/retail data and ad-hoc research/insight.  This is a business in which close collaborative cross-functional team working is the norm - you'll need excellent influencing skills, a positive, go-getting outlook and the ability to think laterally to solve problems and challenge the status quo with new ideas and approaches.

Company Profile

This major US owned FMCG business has a host of brands loved by millions. With a huge commitment to driving brands with substantial A&P budgets and equally massive investment in innovation, this business will offer great experience and career development potential in the UK and potentially internationally too.  The culture is can-do and results-driven with a lively, convivial working style.
