Job Purpose
Do you have a passion for storytelling through product and brand strategy? Are you a commercially minded marketer who knows what it takes to drive sales and spark customer engagement? We're looking for a Brand Manager who can take ownership of our G&B Home Living Licensed brands, delivering exciting new products, launching innovative campaigns, and bringing our collections to life across global markets.
What You'll Be Doing as Brand Manager
Developing and delivering strategic brand plans across key product categories, with a sharp focus on sales, margin, and market growth
Launching new collections into the market—on time, within budget, and with impact
Managing the end-to-end product development process, from concept to shelf (and screen), collaborating closely with design, supply, and retail teams
Briefing and guiding the Design team with customer insight and sales data to ensure on-trend, commercially viable products
Owning the in-store and online presentation of your brands, ensuring they're compelling, consistent, and always on-brand
Managing range segmentation, pricing, and lifecycle planning to avoid SKU duplication and drive margin
Regularly reviewing EPOS and performance data to make informed decisions and champion bestselling products
Managing and mentoring a Marketing Assistant, helping them grow and deliver top-class support
Leading presentations for internal and external stakeholders, including international buyers and retail partners
Working closely with global retailers to ensure our brands are represented with excellence and creativity
What We're Looking For
Proven experience in a brand, category or product management role, ideally within FMCG, homeware, or lifestyle
A commercial thinker who's confident using data to influence decision making
A creative collaborator who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
Excellent communication and organisational skills—you'll need both to juggle deadlines and brief teams clearly
Experience leading projects across multiple departments and markets
Prior people management experience is a bonus, but not essential
Proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and data-driven decision making
A full UK driving licence
