Have you worked for a non-food challenger brand in the consumer goods sector? Do you have a wide variety of marketing skills from influencer/social strategy through to brand development and retail marketing? Can you work in Cambridge 3 days per week?
If you can answer yes to all of the above questions, then it’s worth sending us your CV for consideration as we’re working with a fantastic up-and-coming consumer electronics brand, as they look to take their global marketing strategy to the next level.
You must have extensive experience in growing brands internationally, with particular focus on social media, PR, brand partnerships, sponsorship and retail activation. We are happy to consider people already operating in a similar level of position, or candidates with some team management experience, loads of fantastic ideas and ambition, seeking the opportunity to push their career to the next level.

• Brand Direction – Define and evolve the brand to stand out in a crowded consumer landscape by assessing and analysing the existing brand strategy vs competitors in order to unlock opportunity.
• Marketing Strategy – Develop and deliver a creative seasonal marketing calendar aligned to drive awareness, desirability and sell-through
• Retail Activation – Create compelling pitch decks, toolkits and marketing moments that help secure shelf space and support sell-out
• Team & Agency Management – Lead and grow the internal creative team whilst driving the effectiveness of external agency relationships
• Social, Content & Community – Oversee social media and content activity and ensure presence, tone of voice, and engagement are relevant and engaging to younger audiences
• Partnerships & PR – Drive consumer, trade PR and influencer partnerships and media relationships that build cultural credibility
• Sponsorship/Charity - Identify key sponsorship/partnership opportunities both with existing customers (retail activation) and external teams/events/causes
• Creative Leadership – Manage the design team to produce bold, consistent and high-impact visual content. Play a lead role in planning and executing photo and video shoots to capture high-quality visuals for marketing materials
  To apply you must be a B2C-focused brand marketer with creative ideas, a portfolio of work, and a real ability and aptitude for increasing consumer engagement and brand positioning through innovative marketing strategy. Whilst there is a very strong preference for a candidate with a consumer electronics background, we will consider applicants with extensive consumer goods marketing/brand experience if not in food, so toys, durables, garden, home etc all viable. If you do not bring either of these elements to the table, we unfortunately won’t be able to consider your application.
  This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced marketer to step into a position at an innovative organisation going from strength to strength. The role would be hybrid-based out of Cambridge, 3 days per week. If you like the sound of the position and match the criteria, please do send your CV through for us to review, along with your portfolio and detailing where your relevant experience is for the role.
