The Opportunity

 

Are you a seasoned leader who thrives on developing people but needs a role that respects your work-life balance? 

We are seeking a Field Lead to act as the bridge between regional strategy and store-level execution. This isn't just about oversight; it’s about elevating a high-performing team of Brand Ambassadors to deliver world-class experiential marketing.

 

Your Impact As the primary leadership presence across your region, you will:

  • Coach for Excellence: Move beyond "supervision" to active mentorship. You’ll be responsible for the professional growth and performance of our field teams.

  • Drive Store Partnerships: Act as the face of the brand for Store Managers, navigating challenges and ensuring "Gold Standard" activation placement.

  • Quality Assurance: Use your eye for detail to audit brand presence, ensuring every consumer interaction is premium.

  • Performance Analytics: Instill a data-driven culture where KPIs aren't just met—they are exceeded.

Who You Are

An Experienced Mentor: You have a proven track record of managing teams in the field (Retail, Hospitality, or Field Marketing).

  • Mentorship Skills: Experience in training, developing, and getting the best out of a team.

  • The "Can-Do" Spirit: An enthusiastic mindset that sees opportunities where others see challenges.

  • Reliability: The ability to manage a flexible 14-hour week, primarily across the busy weekend period.

Ideal (but not essential):

  • Experience in sampling, brand activation, or promotional roles.

  • Background in FMCG, retail, or experiential marketing.

In return we will offer you

  • Competitive Pay: £10,592 per annum + up to £1,008 bonus based on KPIs (£11,600 OTE).

  • Career Growth: Great opportunities for progression within a global agency.

  • Supportive Culture: A fun working environment where performance and success are rewarded.

  • Extra Benefits: Wellness programmes, annual conferences, enhanced pension, life assurance, enhanced paternity/maternity leave, and discounts via Perkbox and Taste Card!
