About the Role

Working closely with the Beauty Senior Brand Manager, Digital eCommerce Manager and wider sales team, you'll support the development and execution of brand strategies across the Australian and New Zealand markets.

You'll help develop annual marketing plans and deliver brand and product communications across multiple channels, including digital, social, advertising and in-store activity.

A key part of the role will also be working alongside the sales team and building strong relationships with key customer buyers.

You'll use sales, market and competitor information to understand how brands are performing, identify opportunities and provide insights that help shape future activity. You'll also support post-campaign reporting, helping to turn results into practical recommendations for future campaigns.

Alongside this, you'll work closely with the Digital eCommerce Manager to optimise digital activity, maintain brand content across eCommerce channels, and manage and track marketing and paid media budgets to ensure activity remains accurate, efficient and aligned with brand plans.
