• Collaborate across creative, strategy, digital, social, experiential, production and trade teams to deliver integrated brand experiences.

• Build strong client relationships, provide strategic recommendations and lead day-to-day communication, WIPs and project updates.

• Manage A&P and project budgets, including estimates, spend tracking, reconciliation and reporting.

• Work with internal teams and external partners across experiential, POS, packaging, trade and digital to ensure consistency from strategy through execution.

• Contribute to 92 Proof's brand and social presence, including community management and wider agency marketing activity.

About you

• Minimum Bachelor's degree in Marketing or a similar relevant discipline.

• Industry-recognised accreditation relating to beer, wine or spirits production and product knowledge, equivalent to WSET Level 1 or higher.

• Minimum five years' relevant professional experience within the global alcoholic beverage industry, spanning both brand and agency environments.

• Brand strategy and brand management experience, including positioning and integrated marketing planning.

• Strong project and stakeholder management across clients, internal teams, agencies, suppliers and global stakeholders.

• A&P / marketing budget management experience, including estimates, spend tracking and reconciliation.

You combine strategic thinking with strong execution. You understand how global consumer brands operate, are confident with clients and senior stakeholders, and can balance creativity, commercial objectives, budgets and delivery across multiple projects in a fast-moving agency environment.
