Role: Brand Manager – Luxury Beauty & Fragrance
Location: Surrey, 4 days on site
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000
Contract: Fixed-term maternity cover - 12 months
We're working with a well-established business in the premium beauty sector to find a Brand Manager to take ownership of a key luxury fragrance brand in the UK during a period of maternity cover. This isn't purely a marketing role. It's a hands-on, commercially focused brand role with real ownership of the UK business.
You'll work directly with the international team, and the environment is lean and fast-moving, so you'll move between strategy, numbers, retailer plans, launches and day-to-day delivery without a large team around you.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for developing and implementing local brand activity, ensuring commercial objectives are achieved while maintaining the positioning and integrity of a premium fragrance offering.
This is a broad, hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys working across commercial planning, retail development, product launches and marketing execution. You’ll need to be comfortable working autonomously, managing competing priorities and turning business insights into practical actions.
