Overview
Are you looking for a career-defining opportunity to build standout wine brands in one of the UK’s most dynamic and competitive FMCG categories?
I am recruiting for a Brand Manager role with an exciting and diverse wine portfolio, perfectly suited to a junior or assistant Brand Manager ready to take a step up and manager full ownership of high-growth brands within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Benefits
* Hybrid working
* Flexible Working hours
* Opportunity of an annual trip to a winery
* Additional/ relevant marketing qualifications and WSET courses paid for
* Day off for your birthday (on top of the standard 25 days)
* Discount on wine for friends, family and yourself (pay trade price)
* Wine tasting events - try NPD, founder led tasting or just samples to take home and try
Why this role?
* Join a trailblazing, independently owned wine distributor founded in 2007, known for shaking up the UK wine aisle with bold, contemporary brands.
* A newly created position driven by portfolio expansion, responsible for leading key owned brands through their next phase of growth.

* Be part of a collaborative, ambitious marketing team that thrives on creativity, autonomy and fresh thinking.
The Role
Lead key owned brands through their next stage of growth, delivering both 2026 execution and building compelling, insight‑led 2027 brand plans. Developing clear, motivating brand positioning and commercially robust growth strategies.
You will collaborate closely with Sales to identify opportunities, unlock distribution growth and maximise ROI, preparing and delivering high-impact internal and external brand presentations, including the September Brand Day launch.
Manage and optimise six‑figure brand budgets, ensuring trade investment works hard and effectively, driving activation across multiple channels including grocery, convenience, C & C and on‑trade.
Qualifications
If you are working in marketing with FMCG Brands and are a challenger‑brand thinker who thrives in competitive environments and makes budgets work harder this could be the perfect next step for your career.
I want to talk to creative, insight‑led marketer with strong commercial acumen. So if you are organized and resilient, able to juggle multiple projects at pace as well as being a confident communicator who builds strong internal and external relationships I would love to have a chat with you today.
The Company
This business is a forward‑thinking UK wine distributor partnering with global producers while also crafting its own distinctive brands. The business serves the UK off‑trade and on‑trade sectors with a portfolio of around 250 products spanning classic and contemporary styles.
The culture is agile, collaborative and entrepreneurial. With a lean marketing team and ambitious growth plans, this is a business where ideas are heard, ownership is real, and strong marketers can make a visible impact quickly.
