Job Description
NEWLY CREATED ROLE: Shopper Marketing Controller
London | £75–80k + car + bonus | 3 days in office
I’m partnering exclusively with one of the UK’s most loved premium food brands to recruit their first ever Shopper Marketing Controller.
This is a newly created role - nothing to inherit, everything to build.
You'll set the shopper strategy, roll up your sleeves on execution, and shape how the brand shows up across in-store, online, and with major retailers. It’s high-impact, highly visible and reports directly into the Head of Marketing, with a dotted line to the Sales Director.
Why this role stands out
* Create the shopper function from scratch – full autonomy
* One of the UK’s premium food brand – 15+ years strong and still growing
* PE-backed, collaborative culture under new leadership
* Direct involvement with Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons & online
* Major opportunity to drive digital shopper activation (huge growth area!)
* Who they’re looking for
o Senior-level FMCG shopper/activation experience
o Big company training preferred but not essential
o Strategic thinker who also loves getting stuck in
o A driven, results-focused personality (think high energy, delivery mindset)
o Comfortable working independently without a large team behind you (to start)
