Brand & Marketing Manager
Location: London (Hybrid – Roastery / Head Office, Walthamstow)
Salary: £55,000 – £60,000, dependent on experience, plus bonus and benefits
Reports to: Co-Founder / Director
Direct report: Social Media & Digital Content Lead
About Us
Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters is a celebration of Colombian culture, craft, and community. We act as a bridge between Colombia's rich coffee traditions and London's modern specialty coffee scene, working directly with the farmers who grow our coffee, not just buying from them. That commitment has earned us back-to-back recognition at the London Coffee Festival: Best Independent Coffee Shop 2025 and Best Multi-Site Operator in both 2025 and 2026.
With 10 coffee shops, an ecommerce store, and a wholesale business, we're now in an exciting growth phase which includes expanding our retail footprint across London, launching an international franchise model, and scaling production across UK and EU. This is a rare opportunity to shape the identity of a brand with genuine momentum.
About the Role
As Brand & Marketing Manager, you'll own our brand and marketing strategy across our coffee shops, ecommerce, wholesale and franchise businesses – with budget, creative control, and founder access from day one. You'll manage our Social Media & Digital Content Lead, and act as the day-to-day point of contact for our external agencies and partners. As we scale, the scope of this role will grow with the business and there's a real opportunity to build out your remit, shape the marketing function, and take on more as we expand.
What You'll Do:
Brand & Storytelling
- Guard and evolve the Hermanos brand voice, visual identity, and origin story across every touchpoint, both physical and digital.
- Develop and lead creative concepting for campaigns and brand moments that build genuine community and loyalty, including brand partnerships and brand collaborations (e.g. coffee equipment, suppliers, other brands).
- Hands-on with design tools to turn around quick in-store or campaign assets yourself, and brief/direct agency or freelance partners for strategic/ larger creative work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Growth & Commercial Marketing
- Own the marketing budget and calendar, tied to clear commercial KPIs (e.g. footfall, customer lifetime value, brand equity) tracking performance and briefing the founders on results and recommendations.
- Use customer data and insight (e.g. loyalty, purchase behaviour, feedback) to segment our audience and sharpen targeting across campaigns and channels.
- Drive ecommerce and retention marketing (Shopify, Klaviyo or similar), and run day-to-day paid social (Meta Business Suite) and briefing our specialist partner for more complex paid channels like Google Ads.
- Build the marketing playbooks and toolkits that support our franchise partners as we expand internationally.
Local Marketing, Team & Partnerships
- Develop shop-level marketing, local collaborations, partnerships, and community activations to drive footfall across individual shop locations.
- Line-manage our Social Media & Digital Content Lead, setting priorities and reviewing performance.
- Be the day-to-day point of contact for our marketing partners/ agencies – keeping them accountable for value, and building out the right roster of partners as we need them.
- Lead our brand presence at flagship industry events (e.g. London Coffee Festival) and support wholesale collateral and award submissions.
