Aurora World UK Limited

Marketing Manager

Commutable to Basingstoke, Hampshire

Excellent Salary DOE, plus benefits

The Company

Aurora is a leading manufacturer in the global gift industry, producing high-end, soft and huggable toys. Renowned for high quality and innovation, the company makes products that appeal to all age groups from infants and upwards, and is known for its message of “Gift of Smiles”. The company owns some well-known brands including the hugely successful YooHoo & Friends. In addition Aurora also manufactures and distributes popular licenses such as Gruffalo, Peanuts, Garfield and The Moomins.

As a key part of the Global business, the UK operation has expanded rapidly since 2008 and acts as a European Hub for the wider group. In line with growth and future ambitions, the company is now looking to appoint a passionate Marketing Manager to work alongside creative, product development and sales teams.

The Role

The exact nature of the role will be dependent on the successful applicant, as the most important factor must be personality fit. However, there are several key projects in which this person will become involved. You will take a leading role in planning and executing several trade shows including Toy Fairs in London, Nuremberg and Paris, and the Spring/Autumn Gift Fairs at the NEC. You will also be the creative lead on individual customer feature promotional activity such as the Hamleys Christmas window design. You will work closely with the Sales Director and National / International sales teams, as well as having responsibility for a small but growing marketing team. Your overall role within Aurora will be to take hold of the Aurora brand and proactively market the business through a variety of methods. Aurora is looking for someone who can have an immediate impact within the business, and who will be hands on in helping to take the business to the next level.

The Candidate

Ideally from a related consumer background such as plush, toys, gifts or games, you will have a strong commercial mind backed up by both strategic and creative marketing expertise. You will be an ambitious and talented individual capable of identifying and seizing opportunities, with the determination to see projects through by adopting a hands on approach. You must be comfortable working in a highly visible role with daily contact with the business leadership team. Ultimately, this is an opportunity for you to lead a marketing function and “be the expert” in a company that is looking to grow. This is somewhere you can realistically create your own career path.
