Head of Marketing

A global, premium food retailer is looking to recruit for a marketing manager to join its established team in London. Part of one of the largest companies in the world, this retailer specialises in providing the highest quality product to its customers. Their mission is to nourish the world and pride themselves on being customer obsessed. The company puts the customer at the heart of everything they do. The company has a highly people centric culture and encourages every employee to be their own authentic version of themselves.

As a marketing manager, you’ll be responsible for in-store marketing and signage, driving category marketing and promotions and working within the local community for each store to drive the marketing strategy through local events. The company also has a new store opening programme for the next three to five years, so you’ll be responsible for executing the relevant marketing strategies to run alongside each opening. You will also manage a team of six and be responsible for the performance and development of the team.

The successful candidate will have gained experience in a small to medium business as a senior marketing manager or be ready to step up from a marketing manager level within a larger organisation. Coming from a consumer led organisation, you’ll be an expert at devising multiple strategies across online and offline platforms and will have gained experience managing a team. You’ll be an expert in using data-driven insights to make commercial decisions and be able to demonstrate how these decisions have achieved the necessary commercial results required of your role.

In return the role is paying up to £70,000 as a basic salary, depending on experience, along with the opportunity to earn up to 15% in bonus each year. The office is based in the City of London and is in an impressive building, sharing it with the parent company.
