Get to know our Brand & Experience team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be part of a centre of excellence for end-to-end (E2E) campaign development. You will act as a strategic consultant and decisive voice in planning forums, balancing high-level strategy with the "operational grit" required for flawless execution.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Comms Plan Orchestration: Lead the E2E orchestration of the UKI communications plan, ensuring all activities align with quarterly strategic goals and business priorities.

• Strategic Stakeholder Diplomacy: Act as an influential consultant to internal teams, navigating complex trade-offs regarding budget, resource allocation, and execution priorities.

• Campaign Activation: Lead major UKI marketing campaigns through their entire lifecycle—from the initial strategic brief to launch and comprehensive post-campaign analysis.

• Narrative Storytelling: Translate complex quarterly plans into compelling narratives for senior leadership, ensuring buy-in and alignment at the highest levels.

• Budget Oversight: Take accountability for the meticulous tracking of the UKI production budget, ensuring maximum efficiency and strict financial compliance.

• Hands-on Execution: Manage complex workflows and traffic assets across integrated channels, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery of locally-led initiatives.

• Measurement & Insights: Develop rigorous measurement frameworks to track campaign performance against KPIs, synthesising data into actionable strategic insights for the future.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

Our ideal candidate is a skilled diplomat and a seasoned marketer who can operate effectively at both a high-level strategic level and a detailed execution level.

• Extensive Marketing Background: 8+ years of progressive marketing experience, ideally within a high-growth B2C or multi-category brand environment.

• UKI Market Expertise: A proven track record of successfully planning and executing large-scale, through-the-line (TTL) integrated campaigns specifically in the UKI market.

• Influencing & Diplomacy: Demonstrated ability to manage senior stakeholder alignment, navigate difficult trade-offs, and drive consensus in a matrixed organisation.

• Financial Acumen: Strong expertise in marketing finance and budget management, particularly regarding the monitoring of large-scale production costs.

• Project Management Mastery: Highly proficient in managing complex workflows, allocating resources, and maintaining detailed documentation across multiple teams.

• Storytelling Ability: Exceptional skills in synthesising complex performance data and plans into clear, concise narratives for executive audiences.
