Homeware Brand Manager (P&L, Retail Accounts, Brand Marketing)

Homeware is the category, and this Brand Manager runs it like a business: you carry the P&L for a portfolio of homeware brands sold into South African retail, and you decide how each one grows. The seat is split between the commercial and the creative. One week it’s trading terms and range reviews with retail buyers; the next it’s the campaign calendar and the product imagery that sells the range in store and online.
