- Exciting FMCG Opportunity
Talent Guardian is proud to be partnering with a leading food and beverage importer and distributor based in London to recruit an experienced Brand Manager.
Our client manages an exciting portfolio of over 50 international brands, carefully sourced from around the globe and distributed across all major UK retail channels — from national supermarkets to independent retailers.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a marketing professional looking to broaden their impact across both consumer and trade marketing. You'll play a key role in building brand visibility and commercial performance for a diverse and growing product portfolio. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about global food trends, consumer behaviour, and brand storytelling.
To succeed, you'll need to be
adaptable, commercially minded, and pragmatic
in your approach. You're someone who can roll up their sleeves, make smart decisions with available resources, and focus on what really drives value. It's important that you're comfortable flexing plans as needed and working in a business where
budget efficiency is key — without compromising creativity or impact
What you'll be doing:
- Develop and deliver annual brand plans aligned with commercial objectives
- Build strong relationships with international brand owners and lead performance reporting
- Execute the full marketing mix across trade and consumer channels
- Manage marketing budgets with a practical, results-oriented approach
- Leverage tools like Kantar, NIQ, and Mintel to uncover insights and guide brand growth
- Identify commercial opportunities through data analysis and market awareness
- Create engaging brand presentations and customer sell-in decks
- Plan and model promotional activity to optimise ROI
- Collaborate with the NPD team to support innovation and new product launches
- Manage packaging design and creative projects with external agencies
- Lead research initiatives and brief external insight agencies
- Partner cross-functionally with sales, supply chain, finance, and technical teams
- Support internal communication, reporting, and competitor analysis
What we're looking for:
- Professional marketing qualification with solid FMCG experience
- Strong commercial awareness, including experience managing P&Ls
- Confident using category data tools (Kantar, NIQ) to support strategic decisions
- Ability to influence and collaborate across teams
- Comfortable working across a wide and varied portfolio
- Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
- Resilient, hands-on, and resourceful — you stay focused on outcomes and keep projects moving
- Comfortable managing budgets with a flexible, solutions-focused mindset
If you're a brand marketer who combines strategic thinking with practical execution — and you're ready to take ownership of exciting global food brands — we'd love to hear from you.
