Marketing & Insights Specialist

Not every job comes with a tidy brief and everything neatly mapped out.

This one doesn’t.

We’re hiring for a growing international food ingredients business that needs someone to sit somewhere between marketing, insight and commercial storytelling. And you’ll be the only person doing it.

This isn’t a role where someone hands you a list of tasks each week. It’s a role where you look at the business, spot where marketing or insight could help, and take the lead with improving it.

One day you might be analysing category data and turning it into a sharp presentation for a customer meeting. The next you might be helping reshape the website, building a trade show concept, or working with sales to turn technical capabilities into something customers actually understand.

Some of the work is clear. A lot of it will evolve as you go.

It’s varied, hands-on and genuinely influential.

What the job looks like

• Turning market and category data into clear commercial insight
• Building presentations and materials that help customers understand where the company’s ingredients fit
• Working with sales and technical teams to translate product capability into compelling stories
• Helping shape core marketing foundations – website, messaging, product content and trade materials
• Contributing ideas on how the company should communicate itself, from trade shows to social
• Spotting gaps where marketing or insight could make a difference and taking the lead on fixing them

The kind of person this suits

This role works best for someone who enjoys variety and autonomy rather than rigid structure.

You’ll likely be someone who:

• Has food or food ingredients industry experience
• Is comfortable working with data, trends and category insight
• Can turn complex information into clear, persuasive stories
• Is confident presenting to internal teams and customers
• Enjoys figuring things out rather than waiting for instructions

You might be early in your career and keen for a role with real breadth. You might be coming back from maternity leave and wanting something part time. You might be sick of corporate life and wanting something where you can actually feel the difference you’re making. We’re open to your circumstances and motivations, but we’ll be curious to understand more about you.

The environment

This is a small, collaborative team with very little hierarchy. Everyone rolls their sleeves up when needed.

That means some days are strategic. Some days are practical. And some days, you might be lumbered with doing the washing up.

If you like the idea of building something rather than maintaining it, you’ll probably enjoy this. You’ll be needed on site a fair amount at first, but if you’re not local, that can be reduced once you understand the dynamics of the business. There might be some customer travel, too. But if you’ve got other commitments, we’ll take those into consideration.
