The Gradi Group is looking for an experienced Brand & Marketing Manager to lead marketing across our nationally recognised hospitality and food brands.
This is a hands-on, strategic marketing position spanning restaurants, hospitality venues, wholesale food products and online channels.
We are looking for someone who understands how to build, position and grow consumer-facing brands, ideally within the hospitality, food, venue, events or lifestyle industries.
Required: Proven experience in brand marketing, hospitality/venue marketing, food marketing or a closely related consumer-facing industry. Experience managing multi-location or multi-brand marketing is highly regarded.
Salary: $80,000 – $120,000 per annum + superannuation, depending on experience
Location: 99 Lygon Street, Brunswick East VIC 3057 – Group-wide role supporting Gradi Group brands and venues
Who We Are:
Gradi Group is an established hospitality group with a portfolio spanning restaurants, food production, wholesale and online channels.
Our brands operate across multiple locations and customer touchpoints, and we are looking for an experienced marketer who can bring these areas together under a strong, consistent and commercially focused brand strategy.
This is not primarily a graphic design position. While strong creative judgement and an eye for brand presentation are important, we are looking for a marketing professional who can develop strategy, manage campaigns, coordinate creative partners and drive measurable brand growth.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead marketing strategy across Gradi Group brands, venues and food products
- Develop and execute integrated campaigns across restaurants, wholesale and online channels
- Manage brand positioning, messaging and customer-facing communications
- Plan venue promotions, events, activations, launches and seasonal campaigns
- Oversee social media, website content and digital marketing activity
- Coordinate external designers, photographers, content creators, PR partners and other agencies
- Maintain a consistent brand identity across multiple venues, products and platforms
- Work closely with senior leadership, venue teams and operational departments
- Support local venue marketing while maintaining wider group brand standards
- Monitor campaign performance and use results to improve future marketing activity
- Identify opportunities to increase brand awareness, customer engagement, visitation and sales
What You’ll Bring:
- Demonstrated experience in a Brand Manager, Marketing Manager or similar brand-led marketing position
- Previous experience within hospitality, restaurants, venues, events, food, FMCG or another consumer-facing lifestyle brand strongly preferred
- Experience marketing across multiple locations, brands or business channels
- Strong understanding of brand strategy, digital marketing, social media and campaign management
- Commercial awareness and the ability to connect marketing activity with customer engagement and revenue
- Experience briefing and managing designers, photographers, agencies and other creative partners
- Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously
- Confidence working autonomously and taking ownership of marketing outcomes
- Strong creative judgement without needing the role itself to be centred around graphic design
What We Offer:
- A senior marketing opportunity across a recognised and established hospitality group
- Exposure to restaurant, wholesale, food production and online marketing
- The opportunity to shape the direction of multiple consumer-facing brands
- Creative autonomy and genuine ownership of marketing strategy
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Staff benefits across Gradi Group venues
- Long-term career growth within an expanding hospitality and food business
If you are a brand marketer who understands hospitality, food and customer experience and you are looking for the opportunity to take ownership of marketing across a diverse national brand, we would love to hear from you.
