As such, we are now looking for an experienced Whisky Customer Marketing Lead (UK) to join our existing U.K. commercial team here at Ian Macleod Distillers. The role can be based in central Scotland or London, with regular travel to our head office in West Lothian, and to our distilleries. Our role is perfectly suited to someone with oodles of drive, tenacity, experience, creativity and passion and best placed to continue to evolve and shape exactly how our wonderful whisky brands all show up across the U.K. market, from campaign concept to on-shelf execution, and beyond!
It’s key that you have:
– extensive UK customer and trade experience,
– deep whisky experience, and
– senior level leadership and stakeholder management experience
You’ll lead the charge on building standout strategies for our brands, which are some of the most respected names in whisky. You’ll create and enable our brands to continue to shine, whilst positively cutting through what is a competitive landscape, ensuring that our brands also stay true to their own individuality and authentic characters.
Our new role requires someone who thinks big, who moves fast, and who knows just how to creatively and authentically connect insight with instinct. We are looking for someone who also understands that marketing is much more than just storytelling; it’s all about brand building, category understanding, and consumer connection, at each and every touchpoint! Whether that’s shaping local and national campaigns, collaborating with sales teams on customer activations, and/or creating memorable experiences and moments that matter, to help bring our brands to life. You’ll be front and centre, leading how our whisky portfolio successfully shows up in and leads across, the U.K. market.
This is more than just a job. It’s a unique chance to join a proudly independent, family-owned business with a passion for doing things properly. A place where you can call home, and where you’ll be supported, challenged, and always… In Good Company.
