Marketing Manager

Here at Ignite, we’re excited to be partnering with a hugely exciting food challenger brand that’s bringing fresh, modern thinking to a well‑established category with an innovative range of standout products.

They’re now looking to hire a Marketing Manager to define and deliver the overall marketing strategy. This is a highly hands‑on role – while you’ll have the support of external agencies and a healthy marketing budget (around £500k for the year), you won’t initially have a team reporting into you.

What skills do you need to be considered?

• 4+ years’ marketing experience within an FMCG environment, ideally with a challenger food or drink brand.
• Strong experience across Brand, Trade and Shopper Marketing is essential.
• Experience across social media, community management and content creation would be beneficial, but not essential.
• Proven experience managing marketing agencies and freelancers.
• Experience working with a brand that sells into Grocery Retail is essential. Unfortunately, candidates without this exposure won’t be suitable.
• Comfortable operating as a hands‑on, 1‑person marketing team initially, without direct reports.
