Our Client
They are a fast-growing, science-led pet wellness company dedicated to improving the lives of pets and the people who love them. Their nature-powered products are trusted by veterinarians, breeders, and pet owners worldwide to help pets stay active, healthy, and full of life.
With an expanding international footprint across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, they are entering an exciting phase of growth. As they broaden their product portfolio and accelerate their direct-to-consumer channels, they are investing in building a high-performance marketing engine to support their next stage of expansion in the UK.

The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive, hands-on Brand Manager to join a growing, ambitious pet health brand in the UK.

This role is perfect for a commercially minded marketer who thrives in a busy environment, enjoys rolling up their sleeves, and takes real pride in execution.
You'll be responsible for delivering an already established brand strategy across retail, digital and community channels - working closely with a graphic designer, copywriter and technical support resource to bring campaigns to life.
We're looking for someone with energy, positivity and a true "can-do" attitude - someone who sees no task as too small and enjoys being at the heart of brand activity.

Key Responsibilities
Brand & Campaign Execution
  • Deliver integrated marketing campaigns across retail, digital and owned channels
  • Manage campaign timelines and ensure all assets are delivered on time and on brand
  • Brief and coordinate internal creative and technical support teams
  • Maintain brand consistency across all consumer touchpoints
Product & New Product Development
  • Support new product launches from briefing through to go-to-market execution
  • Coordinate packaging updates and artwork approvals
  • Ensure brand standards are upheld across all materials
Retail & Trade Marketing
  • Manage point-of-sale materials, in-store signage and retail activation
  • Coordinate promotional campaigns and seasonal activity
  • Support retail partners to ensure consistent, high-quality brand execution
  • Conduct in-store reviews and identify opportunities for improvement
Digital & Community
  • Manage website content updates including homepage banners and product launches
  • Oversee organic social media planning and execution
  • Maintain content calendars and campaign asset libraries
  • Support brand partnerships, community activations and events
What We're Looking For
  • 1-3 years' experience in brand or marketing
  • Highly organised with strong project management skills
  • Hands-on, proactive and comfortable working at pace
  • Positive, solutions-focused mindset
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in execution
  • Comfortable working with direction and feedback
  • Interest in the pet industry — particularly canine sports (e.g. agility, flyball) highly advantageous
  • Equine interest a bonus as the brand expands
The Culture Fit

This business is ambitious, entrepreneurial and growing. You'll work closely with a friendly, supportive UK Commercial Manager while also having exposure to a forward-thinking, GM of Marketing based in Sydney.

The successful candidate will be:
  • A grafter
  • Naturally upbeat and resilient
  • Calm under pressure
  • Happy to "get stuck in" across all areas of the marketing mix
Please do apply to register your interest and we'll contact you to discuss the role.
