Description

We have an exciting opportunity for a French speaking Senior Marketing Manager to join on a fixed-term contract to lead our exciting brand activation plans in France this Summer. We are open to full-time or part-time applications and location can either be in France (remote) or the UK (remote or hybrid in London). Who we are: DASH is leading the healthy hydration revolution, infusing super tasty waters with real wonky fruit—bent, crushed, and misshapen fruit that supermarkets say no to. No sugar, no sweeteners, no worries. Since launching in 2017, DASH has become a £42m brand, growing at 42% year-on-year and operating as a Certified B Corp. We use our business as a force for good. In 2025, we will sell 35 million cans in 20+ international markets with retailers including Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado, M&S — and now, rapidly expanding in France through Carrefour, Auchan, Monoprix and Franprix, among others.

This is a fixed-term role designed to accelerate our cultural relevance, shape our market presence, and execute high-impact marketing and celebrity-driven campaigns.

Advertising & Creative Shape the creative direction of French campaigns, ensuring they are elevated, distinct, and aligned with DASH’s brand identity.

Adapt global brand strategy to fit local insights, behaviours, and trends. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with commercial teams to support retailer marketing, launches, and visibility.

Strong experience working on celebrity or talent-led campaigns. Proven ability to bring campaigns from idea to execution. Agency management experience across creative, production, or media. Ability to lead projects independently, with a startup-like bias for action. Native French speaker with strong written and verbal communication skills.
