The Organisation
My client is a FTSE 250 listed company, which has a variety of different business units, and is based in the South of England.
As part of this larger group, I am specifically recruiting for a division of the company which houses 4 recognisable grocery brands, one of which is a Top 50 Grocery brand, and is currently the fastest growing brand in its category.
The business is about to embark on a huge growth and change programme, and as a result are looking to hire the best talent into their Marketing Department.
Role
As Head of Marketing, you will report into the Marketing Director, and have overall responsibility for creating value through leadership and management of the brand portfolio. You will be required to lead the development and implementation of 5 year strategies and annual brand plans whilst managing the customer brand with strategic partners.
In more detail, this will entail;
- Management of the marketing budget
- Delivering volume and revenue targets
- Lead and develop the marketing team
- Work with commercial and operational teams to execute brand plans in the marketplace.
We are looking for someone who is currently working at Senior Marketing Manager or Controller level and is ready to make the step up into a more senior position. The ideal candidate will certainly have a strong track record with brands, but will also be adept at the commercial aspects of managing an own label brand portfolio.
You will need experience of TV and press advertising, aswell as man-management and people development. As you would expect at this level, communication skills, inter-personal skills and stakeholder management all needs to be top-notch.
This is an exciting and pretty rare opportunity to be part of a significant growth strategy, which will change the face of the category in question. If you feel you have the skills and are ready to make a step up, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
