Global Brand Manager - Irish Brands (Maternity Cover)
Quintessential Brands are the name behind award winning spirits including Dubliner, The Dublin Liberties Distillery and Dead Rabbit Whiskies and Feeney’s and O’Mara’s Irish Creams as well as a large portfolio of retailer and own brand products. As Gin Producer of the Year three years running and with ambitions for growth (and to win lots more awards!), it’s an exciting time to join our team.
A Flavour of the Job
We are looking for a Global Brand Manager to take ownership of market interaction and NPD for our Irish whiskey and creams brands. Our Irish brands are a key category for us and have enjoyed strong growth over the past 12 months with high expectations for further expansion over the next financial year and beyond.
Reporting to the Global Brand Director, the Global Brand Manager will drive strategic NPD plans and play a key role in the development of global brand positioning. You will act as the Key brand contact for all central functions (Point of Sale (POS), Ecommerce, Finance, NPD, Procurement) as well as one of the key contacts for the market and will support on the development of new white space innovation for one of our Irish creams, looking at insights and trend analysis, concept development and working on a new brand launch.
This is an exciting and challenging role, our Irish Whiskey portfolio is new therefore there is a need for foundational brand assets and structures to enable commercial teams to sell. In tandem the Global Brand Manager also needs to be thinking about long term brand strategy therefore there is a duality of focus in the role and you need to be organised and commercially focussed but this is a great chance to really make the role your own.
A Taste of the Business
We are a unique blend, a 9 year-old business with a 250 year heritage, a pioneering company with ambitions to grow and share our passion for spirits with generations to come. We’re not perfect, we still have processes and systems to implement and improve and as a company we operate in a lean and agile way, but we are getting there. Joining QB (as we’re known to our friends) is a unique opportunity to roll your sleeves up, get stuck in and really help to shape the business as we expand. Are you up for the challenge?
The Perfect Serve - a bit about you
With a background working as a Brand Manager in FMCG businesses, you will have a passion for marketing and driving brand engagement through innovation. A sense of curiosity and resilience is key, you’ll be able to turn feedback in to amazing ideas and will enjoy inspiring people through telling the story of our brands. You will be an excellent project manager with the ability to drive end to end projects from concept to delivery, motivating teams, engaging and influencing stakeholders and working closely with our commercial functions to ensure that our Irish Brands portfolio outperforms expectations.
