I am very excited to be partnering with Whittaker’s to find a talented, creative and innovative senior brand manager to join their team.
Kiwis love Whittaker’s. This is reflected in us voting them NZ’s most trusted brand for 15 years running. Through incredible products, passionate crafting, and of course wonderful marketing, Whittaker’s has created a new gold standard in the market. Whether it’s a seasonal special such as the Banana Caramel block, a tried and trusted classic like the Peanut Slab or Creamy Milk block, or a speciality block, there is a choice for everyone.
Sitting within a well established and high performing marketing team, you will play a pivotal role in managing end-to-end marketing and brand campaigns to ensure Whittaker’s stays the number one choice for New Zealanders choosing their sweet treats. You will work closely with the whole team, as well as the new product development team on multiple exciting projects. You will be an established senior who can provide the highest-level advice on strategic brand leadership across a full product lifestyle – as well as rolling your sleeves up and being operationally involved in delivering that work.
To be successful in this role you will be the perfect blend of the finest ingredients:
Proven expertise in delivering marketing campaigns that deliver long term brand strength and positive commercial results
Proven delivery in brand leadership and stewardship
Strong digital marketing experience, including but not limited to social media, web and e-commerce
Deep knowledge of brand marketing, ideally within FMCG
Proven ability to utilise data to create insights and inform decision making and strategic planning
Proven ability in managing campaigns across a full lifecycle – including monitoring and reporting
A project management skill set including development of business cases, risk identification and leading others
Knowledge of how to deliver strong financial returns
A dedication to excellence and continuous improvement
A love for chocolate!
This good, honest family brand needs its newest member. Time to join the team where best is always better.
"I'm no fortune teller, but it's a safe bet us Whittaker's will always be sticklers for quality."
J.H. Whittaker
