What we're looking for

Senior brand leadership in a multi-brand or portfolio business, owning strategy rather than executing someone else's
Experience building or overhauling a brand architecture across multiple brands
Experience launching a corporate or holding brand, or a comparable large-scale brand programme
Strong command of brand governance (codes, verbal identity, approvals)
Strong command of brand measurement (equity tracking, share of voice), able to commission and challenge a tracking partner rather than just receive their output
Media strategy, planning and investment experience at scale, including negotiating major contracts
Experience building or running an in-house creative studio, or leading a significant agency in-housing programme
PR experience in a business with real public exposure
A track record of building capability that didn't exist before, not just improving what did
Fluent in English.

The role

We're building a central home for brand, media and creative production across our portfolio - 11 brands, 7 countries, tens of millions of listings a day.

What you'll own

Brand strategy and architecture for the full portfolio - what each brand is for, who it's for, and how they relate to each other
The codes, tone of voice, approval process and measurement standard every brand is held to
Direct management of our core consumer brand across three markets
The launch and rollout of a new corporate brand
Social and community, for our core brand and for the categories without a brand of their own
Media strategy, planning and investment across the group, including channel strategy, investment governance and contract negotiation
