Responsibilities

• We are recruiting a Brand Manager to join a newly created Brand Marketing team working alongside the Head of Brand and the editorial team(s) at the Daily Express. Working hand-in-glove with newsrooms and internal creatives, you will turn editorial ideas into bold, high-impact campaigns across print, digital, social, video, audio, and events to drive genuine consumer engagement.
• This role will be a mix of home and hub, as in-person presence in the Daily Express newsroom is required to build deep relationships with editorial teams, so the successful candidate must be able to travel to our offices in Daily Express in Canary Wharf when required.

Requirements

• Brand Experience: Proven track record as a Brand Manager, ideally within media, publishing, or a fast-paced consumer brand environment.
• End-to-End Campaign Execution: Demonstrated success in planning and delivering creative, memorable marketing campaigns that capture attention in crowded markets.
• Editorial & Stakeholder Collaboration: Strong ability to partner with Editors and journalists to translate newsroom priorities into impactful brand marketing campaigns.
• Creative Eye & Project Management: A sharp eye for brand identity, tone, and visual quality, combined with the project management skills to deliver on time and within budget.
• Communication & Relationship Building: Excellent interpersonal skills with the confidence to build trust-based relationships with senior editorial stakeholders.

Preferred

• Regional Knowledge: Strong familiarity with key regional markets and audiences across the UK and Ireland is highly desirable.
