The Opportunity
Reporting into the Trade Marketing Manager, the Trade Marketing Executive is a hands on, high impact role sitting at the intersection of retail execution, brand activation and account management. It's a true 360 trade role, spanning everything from in store POS and NPD launches to B2B marketing and activation delivery, built for someone who is operationally sharp, commercially minded and thrives when no two days look the same. You'll be the engine room, the person who gets activations live, keeps accounts moving and makes sure the brand shows up brilliantly everywhere it's stocked.
Key Responsibilities
- Own day to day marketing activity across the account base, spanning Grocery, High Street and wider B2B channels, keeping activations, promotions and POS delivery on track and aligned to brand and commercial objectives
- Work with retail media agencies to ensure the brand is highly visible on shelf and supported with the right in store and venue activations at the right moments
- Own POS jobs and bespoke partner requests end to end, from briefing through to delivery
- Manage the Brandbank relationship and product display page optimisation, making sure every dot com listing has up to date visuals, descriptions and nutritional information, and is optimised for conversion
- Ensure all trade focused assets follow brand guidelines and messaging hierarchy
- Coordinate NPD launch assets, briefs and timelines so new products land in trade with strong activation behind them
- Own the trade event calendar and the relationship with the events and logistics partner
- Conduct regular trade visits and merchandising checks, reviewing execution, assessing how the brand looks versus the category and identifying opportunities to strengthen retailer relationships
Ideal Background
- 1 to 3 years in Trade Marketing, Shopper Marketing, Brand Activation or a similar hands on commercial marketing role
- Experience working with FMCG, CPG, wellness or consumer brands
- Strong understanding of the retail landscape, with experience working with UK retail accounts spanning Grocery and High Street customers (e.g. Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose)
- Operationally excellent, able to keep multiple plates spinning, with strong project management skills
- A brilliant communicator, comfortable working cross functionally with Sales, Brand and external partners and suppliers
- Detail obsessed when it comes to brand consistency, POS accuracy and listing quality
- Competent using Microsoft Office applications
- Nice to have: experience in a high growth startup or scale up, hands on experience running sampling activations or field marketing events, an understanding of retail tools such as Brandbank, retailer portals and retail media agencies, and familiarity with Canva, Figma and AI platforms
