Junior Marketing Manager

What Red Bull did for energy, Innocent for smoothies and Vita Coco for Coconut Water, our client will do for their category. They are a small but mighty start-up business with an innovative product and an enviable brand. Their founder set about developing a Ready-To-Drink product which he successfully launched in three different flavours last year. Sales of their great-tasting, antioxidant filled drinks have grown at a phenomenal pace and the brand is now listed in some of the UK's most premium drinks retailers; Waitrose, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Holland & Barrett to name but a few. With consumer interest in functional, good-for-you beverages booming, we reckon these guys are on to something big!

The team are now looking to bring on a Marketing Manager – a role that will be instrumental in maintaining and increasing their sales activity by driving brand awareness and maximising growth opportunities moving forward. They are looking for a passionate and pro-active individual to help drive their profile through events, sampling and partnerships as well as developing relationships with, and providing marketing support to, key retailers. NPD is a big focus for the brand in 2015, therefore this person will play a leading role in a number of exciting launches.

The successful candidate will have prior experience of working for a food or drink brand in a marketing capacity. This may be experience gained directly at a supplier, or through working in a marketing agency. Personality and team fit is essential for this small but growing business, so you must be able to clearly demonstrate confidence, passion and drive as well as a strong work ethic. An energetic and positive attitude is key alongside a GSOH! The role will be based from the company’s head office in West London but you will be expected to get out and about as much as possible. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, entrepreneurial and expanding business, in a role which will provide a huge amount of commercial exposure.
