Description:
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Brand Manager to take ownership of two of our most-loved brands, Gage Roads and Alby. This is a genuine brand leadership role: you’ll own the strategy, shape the storytelling, and lead the campaigns that build consumer love and drive commercial growth.
You’ll work across the full marketing mix, from big brand campaigns and product development through to trade activations and venue partnerships — with the creative freedom and senior backing to do it properly. WA-based at our Palmyra office and connected to our Fremantle hospitality venue, you’ll be embedded in the culture and community that makes these brands what they are.
If you get as energised by a well-crafted brand strategy as you do by seeing it come to life in the real world, this is the role for you.
