Contract: Full-time, permanent

This role sits at the centre of how Derek Rose shows up to customers.

As Assistant Brand Marketing Manager, you’ll be responsible for shaping and delivering our campaign communications across all owned channels, ensuring every message feels clear, considered and true to who we are. You’ll build communication plans and go‑to‑market strategies for campaigns and customer messaging, using trade priorities, SEO insights and performance data to define what we say, when we say it, and why it matters.

This is a hands‑on role that blends strategic thinking with day‑to‑day execution. You’ll work closely with merchandising, Ecommerce, and channel teams to bring campaigns to life.
