Key Responsibilities

Campaign Delivery and Execution

• Convert regional marketing strategies into coordinated, multi-channel activation plans deployed across European markets
• Take ownership of execution across paid, owned, earned, and retail touchpoints, keeping messaging consistent while allowing for local market adaptation
• Coordinate campaign schedules and delivery timelines across multiple countries and internal teams
• Ensure all marketing assets align with brand guidelines and applicable local regulatory requirements

Agency and Production Management

• Serve as the primary link between the brand team and external agencies, including creative, media, production, print, and experiential partners
• Assess agency proposals and recommendations before they reach the brand team, adding a layer of creative and strategic judgement
• Write clear project briefs and hold agency partners to agreed quality, timing, and cost standards
• Own assigned marketing budgets, optimise spend for return on investment, and manage purchase orders in line with internal processes
• Evaluate agency performance on an ongoing basis

Consumer and Digital Activation

• Coordinate consumer-facing activity across social media, digital advertising, influencer partnerships, and experiential formats including sampling and tastings
• Apply platform-specific judgement, recognising that campaign performance is measured differently across social media channels
• Support e-commerce activation in partnership with key online retail partners
• Monitor and report on campaign performance and consumer engagement

Product Launch Execution

• Lead the in-market rollout of new product launches across Europe, working across brand, trade marketing, and supply chain teams
• Manage the development and delivery of launch assets, point of sale materials, and customer-facing communications within agreed timelines
• Adapt launch plans to individual market requirements where appropriate

Retail and Customer Marketing

• Develop and execute in-store activation programmes in partnership with the Trade Marketing team, aimed at improving brand visibility and purchase conversion
• Manage the development and distribution of point-of-sale materials, promotional assets, and merchandising programmes
• Track campaign results and recommend adjustments based on performance

Stakeholder and Project Coordination

• Act as the central connector between Marketing, Trade Marketing, external agencies, and international headquarters
• Keep stakeholders aligned throughout planning and execution phases
• Prepare performance reports and presentations for leadership as required
• Run multiple concurrent projects without losing delivery quality or missing agreed milestones
• Identify execution risks early and implement mitigation plans before they affect campaign delivery

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business Administration, or a related discipline
• At least 10 years of experience in brand, integrated marketing, or campaign activation within an international FMCG environment, with meaningful time spent in a senior or lead capacity

• Hands-on experience managing creative, media, and production agencies from brief through delivery, with full budget oversight
• Solid commercial awareness, with the ability to balance brand investment against business performance within defined campaign budgets
• Genuine, platform-level understanding of how to reach and engage consumers across digital and social channels
• Resilient and stakeholder savvy, with the ability to keep pace in an environment where priorities shift regularly
• Professional fluency in English, written and spoken
• Background in FMCG companies known for operating integrated marketing or content execution functions is highly preferred

• Familiarity with European retail environments and omnichannel campaigns across multiple markets is preferred
