Brand Manager | Pet & Consumer Products | Sydney

• Shape brand and category strategy across Australia & New Zealand
• Lead exciting new product launches from concept to market
• Turn consumer insights and data into real business opportunities

Why this role?
Because you’ll sit at the intersection of brand, product, customers, consumers and commercial performance.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Shape brand and category strategies that actually influence business direction
• Identify new opportunities by understanding shoppers, competitors, retailers and market trends
• Bring new products and ideas to life - from the initial concept through to launch
• Help decide where products should play, how they should be positioned and how they can grow
• Turn data and insights into clear commercial actions
• Work closely with Sales, suppliers, retailers and internal stakeholders to bring plans to life
• Develop creative brand activations and communications across relevant channels
• Support retailer programs, range reviews, promotions and customer initiatives
• Become the go-to person for your brands and categories

What you'll bring
You’ll ideally have 5+ years’ experience across areas such as:

• Brand Management
• Product Management
• Category Management
• Trade Marketing
• FMCG / Consumer Products

Experience working with retailers, distributors or specialty channels will be valuable, as will exposure to NPD, product launches, pricing, promotions and range reviews.

Pet industry experience is welcomed - but it isn't essential.

What matters more is that you’re commercially curious, quick to learn and confident connecting the dots between consumers, brands and business results.

You’ll also bring:

• Strong commercial and analytical thinking
• Excellent stakeholder and relationship skills
• A creative approach to solving problems
• Confidence managing multiple projects and deadlines
• Strong communication skills
• The ability to turn data into a story - and a story into action
• A genuine appetite to learn, improve and make things happen

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
