At Dr. Oetker UK, the Away from Home channel includes working with hotels, restaurants, activity parks, caterers, sport venues, wholesalers and more. This is one of our fastest-growing channels, so the Assistant Brand Manager role offers significant opportunity to support innovation and market-leading growth for the brand.

• Exposure to the full marketing communications mix, including digital, social, campaigns, promotions and events.
• A collaborative and confident communicator who enjoys working with agencies, stakeholders and cross-functional teams to support strong commercial growth.
• Highly organised and detail-focused, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced marketing environment.
