Key Responsibilities

• Develop and coordinate marketing plans for supplier and own-label brands.
• Manage a rolling promotional calendar across email campaigns, websites, catalogues and other marketing channels.
• Coordinate product launches from concept through to market execution.
• Build strong relationships with suppliers, acting as the key point of contact for marketing activity and approvals.
• Work alongside sales teams to identify commercial opportunities and maximise brand visibility.
• Manage and grow social media channels, including LinkedIn, Instagram and other relevant platforms.
• Brief and coordinate external creative resources, ensuring campaigns are delivered on time and to brand standards.
• Monitor campaign effectiveness and recommend improvements based on results.

• A genuine interest in health, beauty, wellness or consumer products.

What's in it for you?

• Take ownership of your own portfolio of brands and influence their growth.
• Work with innovative health, wellness and personal care products entering the UK market.
