Job descriptionSenior Brand Product Development & Production Manager Bring world-class creative ideas into the real world. Salary: £60,000 to £65,000 per annum Contract Type: FTC, 12-Month Maternity Cover Location: West London Working type: Hybrid (3 days in the office) The Opportunity Behind every memorable brand experience is someone who knows how to make great ideas happen. Working as an integral part of the Brand & Activation team, youll partner closely with designers from the earliest stages of a project, helping transform creative concepts into beautifully crafted physical products and experiences. From packaging and branded merchandise to retail displays, point of sale and campaign activations, youll own the journey from concept through to global production, ensuring every physical touchpoint reflects the quality, personality and attention to detail the brand is known for. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of creativity, product development and production, playing a pivotal role in how one of the worlds most recognisable brands comes to life. The Role: * Youll work alongside the creative team from day one, helping shape ideas as theyre developed rather than simply delivering them once theyre finished. * Your role is to challenge, refine and guide concepts through development, balancing creative ambition with manufacturing expertise, commercial thinking and exceptional execution. * Youll lead branded product development across packaging, retail displays, POS, branded merchandise and activation assets, managing everything from supplier relationships and sampling through to production, quality and global delivery. * Youll become the person who gives designers the confidence that their ideas can be realised without compromise. What Success Looks Like: * Youll become a trusted partner to the creative team, involved from the earliest conversations through to final delivery. * Designers will rely on your expertise to solve problems before they arise. * Suppliers will trust your judgement and clarity. * Stakeholders across the business will know that when a project is in your hands, it will be delivered beautifully, on time and to the highest possible standard. * Ultimately, your success is measured by how seamlessly creative ideas become exceptional physical experiences. About You: * Youll already have significant experience leading branded product development and production within premium consumer products, retail, lifestyle or brand-led environments. * You understand manufacturing and supply chains, but just as importantly, you understand designers. * You know how to protect an idea while making it manufacturable, commercially viable and deliverable at scale. Youll bring: * Significant experience across branded product development and production * Strong understanding of packaging, POS, retail displays, branded merchandise and physical marketing assets * Experience managing global suppliers and manufacturing partners * Excellent commercial judgement and project leadership * A strong appreciation for materials, craftsmanship and product quality * The ability to build trusted relationships across creative, production and operational teams Why This Role Stands Out Few roles sit this close to the creative process while owning such a significant part of bringing a brand to life. Youll work alongside talented designers every day, helping shape ideas rather than simply execute them, while leading the development and production of the physical products and assets that customers experience around the world. Its a role with genuine ownership, global reach and the opportunity to influence how a globally recognised brand is experienced far beyond its core products. J-18808-Ljbffr
