Marketing Manager

Dayla Drinks - Marketing Manager

We’re building something ambitious at Dayla, and marketing plays a big part in how we get there.

This isn’t a role for sitting back and following a plan. It’s a chance to take ownership, bring ideas to life and help shape something genuinely exciting in one of the most dynamic industries in the world.

We’re a fifth generation, family-run drinks distributor with over 175 years of history, supplying some of the most exciting pubs, bars, hotels and restaurants across London and the Home Counties.

Our portfolio spans over 6000 products, from globally recognised brands to standout craft producers, exclusive wines, spirits and independent makers. Our goal is simple: to be the best On-Trade Drinks Distributor in the UK.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of day-to-day marketing delivery, planning and coordinating campaigns that connect our brands, products and customers. From print and editorial through to digital, social and our upcoming e-commerce platform, you’ll ensure everything we put out is consistent, engaging and commercially effective. Working closely with our sales, commercial and design teams, you’ll help align activity, targeting and promotions, keeping projects organised, moving and delivered to a high standard.

• Proactive, comfortable working independently and taking ownership

• A creative thinker with a strong eye for detail and presentation

• Confident working with designers and contributing to creative direction

You don’t need to be a designer, but you should care about how things look and feel, spot inconsistencies and take pride in producing high quality work.
