The posting

At Paragon Brands, we bring some of the world's most distinctive and exciting drinks brands to the UK market. We're passionate about great products, ambitious ideas and doing things a little differently. We're looking for a Brand Manager – Trade & Implementation to join our growing Manchester-based team and help bring our brands to life.

This is a hands-on, varied role for someone who loves making things happen. From bringing new products to market and delivering standout events to creating brilliant in-store activations and supporting our sales teams, you'll be at the heart of turning marketing plans into results. You'll work across an exciting portfolio of spirits brands, collaborating with colleagues, customers, international brand owners and partners.

Responsibilities

  • Bringing brands to life: Planning and delivering marketing activations across retailers, bars, restaurants, wholesalers, e-commerce and events.
  • Making campaigns happen: Managing everything from POS materials and promotional displays to experiential activations and trade events.
  • Supporting commercial success: Creating engaging sales presentations, training materials, product content and tools that help our sales teams win new business.
  • Keeping everything connected: Working closely with sales, marketing, finance, suppliers and agencies to make sure projects run smoothly, on time and on budget.
  • Driving digital execution: Managing brand content, product listings and data across Amazon and other e-commerce platforms.
  • Making the numbers count: Tracking performance, analysing results, managing marketing budgets and finding ways to make our activity even more effective.

Requirements

Who we're looking for

We’re looking for someone who combines creative thinking with exceptional organisation. Someone who enjoys the excitement of marketing but also gets real satisfaction from seeing a project through from start to finish.

You'll ideally bring:

  • Experience in brand marketing, trade marketing, marketing activation or campaign management.
  • Project management skills and the confidence to juggle multiple priorities.
  • A commercial mindset, with an understanding of how marketing supports sales and business growth.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships across teams, customers and suppliers.
  • Confidence working with budgets, data and performance reporting.
  • A proactive, resourceful attitude and a genuine willingness to get stuck in.

Experience in drinks, FMCG, retail or hospitality would be particularly valuable, but we're just as interested in finding the right person with the right attitude and transferable skills.

Why Paragon Brands?

We're an independent-minded, ambitious drinks business with a portfolio of brands that thrive in the UK market. We're a close-knit team where ideas are welcomed, initiative is valued and everyone has the opportunity to make a genuine impact. You'll get exposure to all sides of the drinks industry, work with brilliant brands and talented people, and have the chance to see your work making a difference in the real world.

The role is based at our Manchester city centre office, with opportunities to travel across the UK and occasionally internationally to visit customers, events, brand partners and distilleries. This is not a work-from-home or hybrid role.

Normal hours of work: 37.5 hours per week, 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday-Friday with a 30-minute lunch break each day. From time to time, the role requires work/attend events outside of these hours; any working time outside will be compensated with time off during weekdays on a 1 for 1 basis.

Sound like your kind of role?

We'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and tell us a little about yourself and why you'd be a great fit for Paragon Brands.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
