Senior Brand & Marketing Manager - Ombar Chocolate
Lead the growth of a purpose-driven, challenger chocolate brand and help change the way the world sees chocolate 🍫
Are you a bold, creative marketer ready to shake up the status quo? At Ombar, we're not just making chocolate, we're rewriting its story.
We’re on a mission to transform chocolate from sugary junk food to a cacao-rich, nutrient-dense super bar. As one of the UK’s only bean-to-bar chocolate makers, we do things differently – with transparency, ethics, and purpose at our core. Our chocolate is made from scratch in our Cambridge factory, with ingredients sourced directly from farmers’ co-ops and packed with the power of real cacao.
Now, we’re looking for a Senior Brand & Marketing Manager to help us take Ombar to the next level. This is a unique opportunity to lead the charge in growing a challenger brand with purpose, creativity, and serious momentum.
What you'll do...
- Lead the brand’s growth strategy, bringing Ombar to a wider audience and disrupting the chocolate category
- Own and deliver marketing plans across digital, trade, PR, and social, with a hands-on approach
- Shape campaigns and tell our story with creativity, purpose, and flair
- Work closely with our founder, sales team, and external partners to drive commercial impact
- Manage packaging, website, content creators, influencers, and all things brand
- Lay the foundations to build your own in-house marketing team and step into a Head of Brand role
Who you are...
- You have proven experience in F&B brand marketing (ideally in challenger or start-up brands)
- A natural self-starter with a mix of strategic thinking and scrappy execution
- Commercially savvy, highly creative, and passionate about purpose
- Digital marketing expertise and budget management experience
- Based within commuting distance of Sawston, Cambridgeshire (weekly on-site)
- You are someone who lives and breathes people, planet, and purpose
💸 Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 DOE
