We are recruiting for a, self-sufficient, results-oriented Marketing Manager to take ownership of Shredded Wheat, one of our most iconic brands and a strategic growth priority.

This role requires someone who is highly self‑motivated, can confidently juggle multiple strategic priorities at once, and brings proven experience delivering brand and commercial results at pace. You’ll join our Cereal Partners UK team in Welwyn Garden City and report directly to the Local Brands Marketing Manager.

With over 50 brands enjoyed around the world, we’re committed to making breakfast better — creating tasty, nutritious foods that help people start their day right.

Your impact

Ultimately, you will be responsible for the brand strategy, shape innovation, and lead execution across a broad range of activity — all while being the key driver of brand performance

Key responsibilities will include:

• Lead the Shredded Wheat brand strategy, owning long‑term growth plans, building brand equity by developing and executing impactful TTL advertising campaigns.
• Drive the long-term innovation agenda to strengthen and expand the product portfolio, leading strategic NPD projects from concept through to launch.
• Deliver business targets and brand growth by leveraging commercial levers and channel strategies in collaboration with the Commercial Development Team (CDT).

• Use market and competitor insight to evolve growth plans in a competitive FMCG environment.
• Operate independently with strong prioritisation, managing multiple workstreams while collaborating effectively with cross‑functional teams and supporting an Assistant Marketing Manager.

Your ingredients for success

You are commercially savvy and a results‑driven marketer with a genuine passion for building iconic brands. You are already operating at Marketing Manager level—bringing a strong breadth of brand‑building expertise and end‑to‑end marketing experience. Experience within FMCG, branded food, or innovation‑led categories is highly desirable, though not essential.

• Strategic Leadership – You think big and act decisively, shaping growth plans that deliver commercial impact.
