Position: Interim Senior Brand Manager
Location: Southwark, London, Hybrid
This is a standout opportunity to lead and grow two of our most important brands in the UK and Ireland: Elmlea, as we aim to double our Creams business, and ProActiv, our Better-For-You powerhouse. As an Interim Senior Brand Manager, you’ll have full P&L ownership and be empowered to drive strategy across the full marketing mix (6Ps) — from insight-led communications to innovation, shopper activation and commercial alignment.
You’ll report directly to the UK & Ireland Head of Marketing and lead a small but high-impact team, working closely with local and central functions across Sales, RGM, Category, Innovation and R&D. This is a career-defining role in a high-energy, high-accountability environment — perfect for someone who thrives on ownership and delivering results.
Key responsibilities include:
Brand Strategy & Growth
- Own and lead the UKI strategy and positioning for Elmlea and ProActiv, aligning with regional and global direction.
- Develop and deploy consumer-first growth plans across the 6Ps, based on insight and market trends.
- Build joint business plans and selling stories for grocery retailers including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.
Performance, Budget & Activation
- Deliver a robust A&P investment strategy, covering media, digital, shopper marketing and loyalty activations.
- Set and track clear KPIs for brand performance, with proactive actions to optimise results.
- Use data to drive decision-making and establish scorecards that bring visibility and focus across functions.
Cross-functional Collaboration
- Foster strong working relationships across Category, RGM, Sales, Innovation and R&D teams.
- Ensure seamless alignment across brand and customer initiatives to drive joint value creation.
People Leadership
- Inspire and support your direct report, providing clear goals, development and regular feedback.
- Champion a high-performance, high-ownership culture within your immediate team and across the broader function.
What Does It Take to Be Successful?
We’re looking for a results-driven, insight-led brand leader with a passion for consumer-first marketing and commercial excellence. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment and be excited by the opportunity to make a real impact.
- Strategic & Hands-On: Balance big-picture thinking with the ability to roll up your sleeves and execute projects brilliantly.
- Commercial Mindset: Experience working closely with Sales, Category and RGM functions — and ideally UK grocery customers.
- Data-Driven: Make decisions based on insight, KPIs and real-time performance metrics.
- Collaborative Leader: Build trusted relationships across internal and external teams and get the best from agency partners.
- Inspiring Manager: Lead with clarity and empathy, developing your team while delivering strong business results.
- Growth Mentality: Curious, agile and focused on delivering progress — every single day.
What’s Next?
If you’re an ambitious, insight-led brand marketer ready to take the lead on two powerhouse brands — Elmlea and ProActiv — this is your chance to drive real impact. Big brands, big ambitions — and a big opportunity to deliver results.
