Looking for your next move within tier-one FMCG?

We're partnering with one of Australia's leading food and consumer goods manufacturers to appoint a Brand Manager, taking ownership of a portfolio spanning well-established brands within the snacking and grocery aisle.

This is a genuine end-to-end Brand Manager opportunity, giving you the chance to shape brand strategy, lead innovation, deliver new product launches and influence commercial growth within a business renowned for developing some of the industry's best marketers.
 
The opportunity

Reporting to an experienced marketing leader, you'll own a portfolio with responsibility across strategy, innovation, communications and commercial performance.

You'll lead the development of annual brand plans, build a strong innovation pipeline and manage new product launches from concept through to shelf. Working closely with Sales, Category, R&D, Supply Chain and agency partners, you'll have the opportunity to influence decisions that directly impact brand growth.

This is a highly visible role with genuine autonomy, broad stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to accelerate your FMCG career inside one of Australia's most respected consumer goods businesses.
 
What you'll be doing

• Developing and delivering brand strategies that drive sustainable growth;

• Leading end-to-end innovation and NPD projects from concept to launch;

• Delivering integrated marketing campaigns across multiple touchpoints;

• Using consumer, category and commercial insights to identify growth opportunities;

• Partnering with cross-functional teams to bring new ideas to market;

• Managing agency partners across creative, media and research; and

• Monitoring brand performance and translating insights into action.

About you

We're looking for an established FMCG marketer who enjoys taking ownership, thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to bring brands to life.

Non-negotiables

• FMCG or consumer goods marketing experience;

• End-to-end NPD experience, from concept through to commercial launch;

• Experience delivering integrated marketing campaigns and managing agency partners;

• Strong cross-functional stakeholder management and influencing capability;

• Exposure to the Australian grocery landscape, including Coles and Woolworths; and

• Commercially minded, with experience using category and consumer insights to drive growth.

Why this role?

This is the kind of Brand Manager role that doesn't come around often.

You'll join a tier-one FMCG business known for investing in its people, work on brands found in households across Australia, and gain the breadth of experience that sets you up for Senior Brand Manager and beyond.
