Food & Hospitality | Multi-Brand Portfolio | High-Growth Business
Location: Uxbridge – 3 days office-based, 1 day working from home
Build brands people love. Own the creative vision. Shape the future.
Are you an ambitious Brand Manager ready to take the next step, or an established Senior Brand Manager looking for the freedom to make a real impact?
We are working with an exciting, fast-growing business in the food and hospitality sector that is looking for a talented, commercially minded Senior Brand Manager to take ownership of its growing portfolio of consumer brands.
With 75+ locations across the UK and ambitious plans to double its footprint, this is a business with impressive momentum and a real opportunity to create household-name brands.
The foundations are already in place. Now the business wants someone with the imagination, energy and commercial instinct to take its brands to the next level.
This isn’t a role where you will simply manage campaigns or oversee agencies. You will have the opportunity to shape brand strategy, lead creative direction, build social-first communities, develop exciting consumer partnerships and bring standout marketing ideas to life.
Reporting directly to the founders, you will enjoy genuine influence, autonomy and the opportunity to build your own creative and content capability as the business scales.
For the right person, there is a clear opportunity to develop towards a Head of Marketing position.
The opportunity
You will lead consumer brand marketing across a portfolio of distinctive food brands, helping them become more recognisable, relevant and desirable to consumers.
They are looking for someone who understands what makes a food brand stand out in today’s market. Someone who lives and breathes consumer trends, knows how to create engaging social content and can turn a great creative idea into a campaign that delivers genuine commercial value.
You will combine strategic brand thinking with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach, working closely with the founders and wider business to drive brand awareness, customer engagement and organic growth.
What you will be doing
- Own the brand vision: Develop and evolve the positioning, personality, identity and creative direction of multiple consumer food brands.
- Lead social-first brand building: Shape compelling Instagram, TikTok and content strategies that create conversation, grow communities and build meaningful consumer connections.
- Create campaigns that stand out: Develop imaginative brand campaigns, PR stories, collaborations and consumer activations that get people talking.
- Bring brands to life: Work with creators, influencers, partners and internal teams to deliver engaging content and memorable brand experiences.
- Drive real commercial impact: Build brand recognition, consumer demand and loyalty, using clear performance measures to understand what works.
- Build your team: Help recruit, shape and lead an in-house social and creative content function as the business grows.
- Work directly with decision-makers: Partner closely with the founders and senior leadership, influencing brand direction and making ideas happen without unnecessary layers of approval.
- Embrace new ways of working: Use AI and emerging digital tools intelligently to accelerate creativity, streamline delivery and maximise marketing impact.
What they are looking for
They are keen to speak with established Brand Managers ready for greater ownership, as well as experienced Senior Brand Managers who want a bigger creative challenge and the opportunity to influence a growing business.
You will ideally bring
- Strong consumer brand marketing experience gained within food, QSR, fast casual dining or hospitality.
- A proven ability to develop distinctive brands and deliver engaging, commercially effective marketing campaigns.
- A genuine passion for social media, consumer culture, content, storytelling and emerging trends.
- Experience developing creative campaigns, influencer collaborations, PR opportunities or brand activations.
- The confidence to own brand strategy, influence senior stakeholders and translate ambitious ideas into action.
- Strong creative instincts, combined with commercial awareness and an understanding of how brand marketing drives growth.
- An entrepreneurial, resourceful mindset — someone equally comfortable developing the strategy and getting hands-on with execution.
- The ability and ambition to lead creative talent and build a high-performing marketing team.
Experience across multiple food brands, delivery-led businesses or multi-site operations would be particularly valuable.
Above all, we are looking for a brand builder, not simply a brand custodian.
