Six Degrees is excited to be partnering with a leading Australian-owned fresh produce business on a 6-month Marketing Specialist contract, based at their Brisbane head office.

The business grows, packs and markets premium fruit across several states. It has a portfolio of branded and new varietal products heading into important seasonal launches. The category and brand strategies are in place. This role will turn them into launches, packaging and in-store activity that arrive on time.

Reporting to the Head of Commercial & Strategy, you’ll keep the marketing program on track, working closely with Sales, Technical, Supply Chain, agencies and suppliers.

What you’ll be doing
  • Building and managing a consolidated six-month marketing plan, calendar and budget
  • Coordinating packaging concepts, artwork, labels and print through to production
  • Supporting brand positioning, messaging and new varietal launches
  • Delivering retailer activations, including promotions, displays, tastings and POS
  • Managing launch content, photography, social activity and trade communications
  • Tracking spend and results, and reporting on progress, risks and decisions required
About you
  • Experience in brand, trade, shopper or category marketing within FMCG, food, grocery or fresh produce
  • Hands-on packaging and artwork experience from brief through to print
  • A track record of working with major retailers and Sales teams on in-store activity
  • Confidence managing agencies and suppliers on briefs, approvals, budgets and deadlines
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail across several projects at once
Fresh produce experience is highly regarded. Experience from packaged food, beverages or other grocery categories will also transfer well.

Why you’ll enjoy it
  • Ownership of launches for premium Australian-grown brands
  • A broad remit covering brand, packaging, retail activation and content
  • A hands-on role with direct access to senior leadership
The role would suit a Brand Manager, Senior Assistant Brand Manager or Trade Marketing Manager who is contracting, between roles or looking for a substantial project to take on.
