Job Title: Product Line Manager
Location: Bridgend, South Wales (Hybrid)
Salary: £70,000 - £80,000 per annum + benefits
About the Role
This is a newly created role reporting directly into the Chief Marketing Officer at an established, well-known consumer products business.
This is a globally recognised sports brand that has in excess of 10,000 SKU's. At its heart, it's a translation job: turning what the market and commercial teams need into clear briefs for the Design team, then checking Design's work matches what was asked for before it goes to market. Alongside this, you'll own the wider process of building product lines from strategy through to launch, working closely with a Category Lead who brings the brand and category expertise. Permanent is preferred, but suitable interim candidates will be considered.
