Job Description
Imagine a world where everything tasted… average.
Exactly.
Thankfully, there are people working very hard to make sure that never happens. We’re working with a growing firm that sits behind many of the tastes, aromas and food experiences people enjoy every day. Quietly brilliant at what they do, they partner with food and beverage brands to help develop products that genuinely excite consumers.
They’ve been going for just over a decade and is already outstripping the more established players in their industry. Year on year growth with no sign of it slowing down. They’re unconventional, proud of what they do, and it has zero corporate jargon or a 47-step approval process to get things done.
The role
You’ll be given plenty of ropes to get involved in every facet of marketing, delivering creative & practical marketing support across the business. With the support of a very savvy senior marketer, you’ll be key to helping prepare & deliver presentations to customers’ product development teams, sharing insights around trends, flavour directions and category opportunities.
You’ll also support the planning and delivery of trade shows and industry events, working with suppliers, designers, and printers to ensure everything from stands to collateral is delivered smoothly. Alongside this, you’ll help manage digital marketing activity, including website updates, LinkedIn content and working with external PR and creative partners.
You’ll monitor emerging trends across social media, industry platforms, and events, translating those insights into clear, engaging updates that help internal teams stay ahead of the curve. It’s a hands-on marketing role sitting right at the intersection of food, creativity, and insight.
It’s varied, where no two weeks are quite the same. One moment you might be researching the next big flavour trend on social media, the next you’re building a presentation for a major food brand, organising a trade show, or helping showcase new product concepts to customers. If you enjoy the creative side of marketing but also love understanding why consumers eat what they eat, you’ll likely thrive here.
What we’re after
This is not a role for someone who needs rigid structure. It's for a marketer who looks a bit of chaos in the eye and says, 'let’s go’. You’ll be juggling research, social & content, product launches & various brand awareness campaigns, so you’ll need to be savvy with these different components of marketing & if you watch MasterChef and narrate the cooking out loud like you’re in the final, you’ll fit right in.
We’re looking for the kind of marketer who notices new trends before everyone else does and gets slightly overexcited about a brilliant idea. You’ll probably have 3-4 years solid marketing experience already, but more importantly you’ll bring energy & creativity to share your thoughts. You’ll ideally know your way around InDesign, Photoshop, PowerPoint & Mailchimp, and be happy to juggle a few projects at once, but also comfortable working in a place where ideas evolve quickly.
You’ll also enjoy presenting, collaborating, and turning insight into something people understand. And if you’re the sort of person who loves talking about food, flavours and what consumers might want to eat next… you’ll probably feel very at home here.
What’s on offer
This is a business on a serious growth trajectory but has not lost sight of their values & traditions. The role has purpose, value, impact & superb potential for career development.
Marketing plays a real role in shaping how ideas reach customers & gives you the chance to build deep industry knowledge while developing your marketing career. A salary of between £33 - £35,000 plus a culture which is fun, collaborative, supportive and refreshingly down to earth, with people who genuinely enjoy what they do and take pride in creating products that make food taste better.
For someone with creative curiosity, strong marketing instincts and a genuine love of food, it’s a role that offers both variety and the chance to make a real impact.
