Your new company
My client is a leading global name in toys; manufacturing and retailing worldwide. Guided by the company spirit: "Only the best is good enough”, they are committed to the development of children and aim to inspire and develop through creative play and learning. The ultimate purpose is to inspire and develop children to think creatively, reason systematically and release their potential to shape their own future - experiencing the endless human possibility. Due to increased workload, we are seeking an Assistant Retail/Trade Marketing Manager to join the team on a 12 month temporary contract.

Your new role
As an Assistant Trade Marketing Manager, your job is to drive the best brand experience at retail level to engage and inspire consumers. You will plan and execute retail activations with an omnichannel approach to ensure the brand stands out in an engaging and impactful way.


You will utilise consumer, shopper and retail insight to inform, develop, implement and evaluate highly effective retail campaign materials, collaborating closely with global In-store, Marketing Agency, Sales and Brand teams. You will implement your ideas across POS and branded online stores (eCommerce) to create a concise brand feel at every customer touchpoint, and will be responsible for managing both agencies and budgets to ensure effective implementation.

What you'll need to succeed
You will utilise your understanding of Marketing in the Retail landscape in order to efficiently plan and activate retail execution campaigns. You will demonstrate proficient project management & analytical skills in order to utilise shopper research and run the end-to-end project process in such a fast-paced environment. Collaboration is key; you will work closely with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and therefore being a team player is essential to your success. You will also use your previous experience in budget management – tracking spend, processing invoices and raising POs – and briefing & managing external agencies.


The position does come with challenges, in the form of a high pace and workload, so you need to be brilliant at prioritising what’s important, and also dealing with ambiguity, as their retail execution plan can be fluid and changeable.


What you'll get in return
You will receive a daily rate of £198 per day (£45,000 FTE) for this contract until the end of the year. This is a great opportunity for someone who would love to work with and protect one of the strongest brands in the world, aiming to inspire the children of tomorrow. You will be able to see tangible results of your work and projects out in the marketplace, truly inspiring customers.
