This is what they shared – We are looking for an authentic, passionate brand builder who can lead strategy and brand activation, communication plans, innovation pipelining. Someone who’s strategic, curious, and commercially sharp to own the full marketing mix but also brings creative flair and a real love for building brands. Someone who’s not afraid to ask the tough questions, challenge the status quo, and roll up their sleeves to get things done!
