Marketing Digitisation Lead

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Marketing Digitisation Lead (part time) to join our client, a leading global FMCG company with Brands such as Dove, Knorr, Persil & Magnum, based at their prestigious facility in Leatherhead (will require 2 days per week working from the office based in LHD).

This role is paying up to £73,000 FTE per annum, pro rata (=29200 per annum), depending on experience.

There is a global Product Data Management programme running which will output a new tool.

This will enable us to confidently provide the right data at the right time to unlock efficiencies, savings and growth for the UK and Irelands. There are multiple contributing functions and platforms that have a part to play in the e2e process. The tool will ultimately bring them all together as one connected infrastructure and way of working. With this comes a big change for Marketing, Artwork Excellence, R&D, Supply Chain and Master Data.
