The Role

We're building a central home for brand, media and creative production across our portfolio — 11 brands, 7 countries, tens of millions of listings a day. This is a new role: you'll set the strategy for every brand in the group, run our core brand end-to-end, lead the launch of a new corporate brand, own media planning and investment, and build an in-house studio.

What you'll own

Brand strategy and architecture for the full portfolio — what each brand is for, who it's for, and how they relate to each other

The codes, tone of voice, approval process and measurement standard every brand is held to

Direct management of our core consumer brand across three markets

The launch and rollout of a new corporate brand

Social and community, for our core brand and for the categories without a brand of their own

Media strategy, planning and investment across the group, including channel strategy, investment governance and contract negotiation

The central media buying desk

An in-house creative studio — creative, content, design and production, with local-language capability

The agency roster and the in-housing programme that consolidates it

What We're Looking For

Senior brand leadership in a multi-brand or portfolio business, owning strategy rather than executing someone else's

Experience building or overhauling a brand architecture across multiple brands

Experience launching a corporate or holding brand, or a comparable large-scale brand programme

Strong command of brand governance (codes, verbal identity, approvals)

Strong command of brand measurement (equity tracking, share of voice), able to commission and challenge a tracking partner rather than just receive their output

Media strategy, planning and investment experience at scale, including negotiating major contracts

Experience building or running an in-house creative studio, or leading a significant agency in-housing programme

PR experience in a business with real public exposure

A track record of building capability that didn't exist before, not just improving what did
