The Company…

 

This is a globally recognised challenger brand that’s built a cult-like following through bold flavours, disruptive campaigns, and strong cultural relevance. Already a huge success internationally, the brand is now scaling rapidly across the UK & Ireland with big ambitions and even bigger plans. This is your chance to get in early and be part of that journey.

 

The role….

 

As Assistant Brand Manager, you’ll play a key role in bringing the brand to life locally. This is a hands-on, fast-paced position where you’ll support the delivery of marketing plans across campaigns, social, PR, activations, and product launches. You’ll be at the centre of the action working with agencies, internal teams, and global stakeholders to make things happen.

 

This is the perfect role for someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and build a strong foundation in brand marketing.

 

You….

 

You’re someone who is hungry to learn, highly organised, and excited about working on a bold, culturally relevant brand. You don’t just want to sit on the sidelines — you want to be involved, contribute ideas and make an impact.

 

You’ll likely:

 

  • Experience in marketing, brand, agency or commercial roles
  • Be passionate about social media, content and consumer trends
  • Have strong organisational skills and attention to detail
  • Be confident working with multiple stakeholders and agencies
  • Bring a proactive, can-do attitude with a willingness to get stuck in
  • Be comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment

 

Bonus if you’ve had exposure to FMCG, food, or drink but mindset and energy are key here.

 

If you’re looking for a role where you can learn quickly, build real experience, and work on a brand people genuinely love this is a great step.
