Purpose

An opportunity has arisen for a Head Of Brand to join our UK Marketing team and lead one of our Power Brands.

Our Power Brands (Richmond and Fridge Raiders) have been on a transformational journey over the past 5 years, diversifying into new categories, evolving their positioning, and strengthening their brand equity. In fact, they have grown +124% and recruited 1.6m new consumers during this time

However, the future is even more exciting, as Richmond and Fridge Raiders form a key part of the Pilgrim’s Europe growth strategy, and this is where you come in.

You’ll have full end-to-end ownership for one of our Power Brands, so we want you to treat it like your own business, proactively identifying ways to drive growth, owning the commercial and in-market results, and ensuring all initiatives are executed to a consistently high standard. As a result, we’re looking for someone who will partner with and inspire our agencies and cross-functional teams to achieve our long-term aspirations.

Our Brand teams sit at the heart of our business, so you’ll work with a range of different stakeholders in a variety of functions, as well as our agency partners, collaborating with them to ensure we activate in the market with a bang.

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of one of the most iconic brands in FMCG Food, to build a high-performing team, and contribute to the next chapter of Pilgrim’s Europe.
