Join our team as a Senior Manager - Branding & Marketing Enablement!

Let’s start this ad with a couple of quick questions.

Do you like magic tricks? Do you have a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary? And do you believe that a brand is a story that’s waiting to be told?

If you’re nodding your head like a metalhead at a Metallica concert, we’ve got the perfect stage for you to perform your magic. And if you don’t like magic, don’t worry. We’ll help you love it eventually.

Now that you’ve stopped the ferocious headbanging, let’s tell you a little bit about the gig.

You’ll lead the charge in developing unforgettable, creative experiences for our team and customers. From jaw-dropping activations and stories to exciting sponsorships, you’ll be the spark that lights up our brand. A brand maestro, if you will, you will take the reins of our creative direction, visual identity and expression of the brand. But wait, there’s more. You’ll also have a chance to combine all this with clever strategic thinking to elevate our brand and make us the talk of the industry. So yeah, no pressure…

Anyway, that paragraph can essentially be summed up in one word: ✨MAGIC ✨

Your actual tasks in a good old bullet point format

Creating magic is what the job is all about. But we know that you’re itching for that generic list of bullet points telling you exactly what you’ll do. And we’re not going to disappoint you.

• Continue to embed our brand into the culture of the organisation. Boom.

• Collaborate with internal and external partners to create great customer experiences. Love it!

• Develop a stronger employer brand to attract and retain talents.

• Create strong concepts, content and communication towards core audiences. Bring it on!

• Ensure consistent messaging and brand alignment throughout all materials and communication. Ooof, that’s class.

• Manage your team and provide direction and clear responsibilities for them all. Yes, teamwork!

• Set KPIs and PIs that support our overall KPIs. Oh, cool abbreviations!

• Build great relations with key internal stakeholders.

• Secure the most efficient use of department and project budgets.

• Be a role model. Ooh, easy.

There you go. 10 bullet points or 10 amendments if you will. We won’t force you to think of them like that, though.

What we expect from you

Ready to be brought back down to earth? Because here are our requirements. This is a bit like when you finally find a piece of software that does the exact thing you need. You think it’s free, you’ve done everything you needed to do, you’re just waiting for the result, and out of nowhere, you get this: “Please register! It only costs $9000.” Sigh… There’s always a catch.

Jokes aside, we genuinely believe that anything can be learned along the way and that the most important thing is that you’re a nice person! These pesky requirements are just to give you a few pointers in terms of the skills we’re looking for.

So, without further ado, here are 10 more bullet points:

• Master’s degree in marketing, communication or similar

• 5-7 years of branding and marketing experience

• Proven leadership skills with an ability to influence and engage others

• Experience in relationship management

• International experience with advanced English skills

• Creative and commercially minded

• Positive, high-energy attitude (Note: not a dog)

• Results-driven with excellent communication skills

• Customer-oriented and collaborative by heart

• Aesthetic sense, acting as a brand ambassador

It’s time to get cracking on your application. Good luck – go get it.
