Responsibilities

  • Brand strategy & positioning: Explore, evangelize, and architect Joybuy's brand strategy and positioning across European markets - defining what Joybuy stands for, how that translates per market, and where the brand can credibly win against both marketplace incumbents and cross-border competitors.
  • Measurement, budget & performance: Establish a regular brand measurement system across markets and zones - awareness, consideration, trust, and attribute association (speed, service, value), alongside SOV, market reputation, and social metrics.
  • Penetration campaigns: Identify opportunities where brand positioning can penetrate - underserved segments, category entry points, moments of competitor weakness - and formulate and execute campaigns against them.
  • On-site program equity: Build distinct user perception of Joybuy's key on-site programs - Joy Plus membership, Deals, 211 delivery promise, and others.
  • Influencer & content marketing: Build a creator and influencer partnership system native to each European market - selecting platforms, partners, and formats by local social ecology.
  • Partnership branding: Develop and manage brand partnerships through pan-EMEA sports and media properties - football (UEFA), F1, Spotify, and comparable platforms.
  • Brand asset & compliance management: Govern regional brand assets - visual identity, official copy, marketing materials, and brand cases.
  • Team leadership: Manage the central brand marketing team in London, and set direction for dotted-line communications specialists embedded in the zones.
  • Cross-functional leadership: Work as a peer with other C2 leaders under the CMO and partner with C1 category leaders, Country Managers, e-commerce, supply chain, and external agencies.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in brand marketing, with senior experience in e-commerce, retail, or consumer platforms operating across multiple European markets.
  • Proven record of building brand trust and positioning for a challenger or entrant brand.
  • Solid understanding of European consumer habits and local social media ecosystems.
  • Proficient in end-to-end brand project management.
