Main Responsibilities:

As a Shopper Marketing Manager at Ferrero, you will play a critical role in connecting Ferrero’s brand and category strategies with in-store execution, helping to shape how our brands show up in front of shoppers across key UK retailers. You’ll act as a strategic partner to Sales and Marketing, adapting global category visions into actionable, insight-led plans that drive visibility, conversion, and growth at the point of sale.

You’ll bring experience in developing shopper marketing strategies that span the full path to purchase, both online and offline, and know how to translate insights into commercially impactful activation plans.
You should be a confident communicator and presenter, capable of influencing stakeholders at all levels—both internally and externally. Your collaborative approach will enable you to build strong cross-functional relationships with teams such as Sales, Marketing, Category Management, and Supply Chain.
Analytical by nature, you’ll be comfortable working with a wide range of data sources and have a keen eye for identifying insights, tracking performance, and making fact-based recommendations. Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and reporting tools is essential, as is the ability to clearly communicate findings in both written and verbal formats.
Success in this role requires resilience, flexibility, and a proactive mindset, especially within a fast-paced, evolving business environment. If you’re excited by the opportunity to influence how iconic brands engage shoppers at the point of purchase, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
