Working within the Global Brand Team, you will partner cross‑functionally with Sustainability & Innovation, Operations, Finance and regional markets to move ideas from early insight through to flawless global execution. You’ll balance deep empathy for artists with strong commercial rigour, ensuring every product has a clear consumer rationale, compelling reason‑to‑believe and premium craft cues worthy of a heritage icon.

• Brand Strategy & Planning: Interpret the Global Brand Strategy into a clear portfolio approach for allocated ranges, shaping innovation roadmaps, brand priorities and annual plans.
• Portfolio Management & Innovation: Lead the end‑to‑end innovation and renovation process for assigned ranges, with particular focus on Masterpiece and Gallery Classic portfolios.
• Product & Shopper Excellence: Develop product messaging, reasons‑to‑believe and commercial toolkits for allocated ranges.
• Market Leadership: Act as a key interface with regional and local markets, building strong relationships and championing best practice.

Qualifications and Experience

• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience shaping pricing, portfolios and ROI‑driven brand decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex, global projects cross‑functionally.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
