The role of Marketing Manager is a new addition to the European marketingteam based at the Rijswijk office. This team currently includes the Group Head of Marketing & Communication, a Communication Manager, a Digital Manager, and two other Marketing Managers. The Marketing Manager will focus on effectively embedding the team’s marketing initiatives across EPS while smoothly engaging with the various Country Managers to ensure alignment and collaboration.
Collaborating closely with sales, division leadership, and the Head of Group Marketing & Communication, the Marketing Manager will design and execute a marketing strategy that aligns with EPS’s commercial goals at both European and regional levels. This position also requires strong stakeholder management and change leadership skills, as marketing has not historically been a central focus within EPS but will become a key area of growth under this role’s direction. With a strong foundation in both strategic and digital marketing, the Marketing Manager brings the expertise needed to drive measurable impact.
Supporting sales is another critical aspect of the role, with responsibilities including the development of pitches, business cases, and white papers to effectively communicate EPS’s value proposition to customers and key stakeholders. The Marketing Manager will leverage the latest sustainability trends and new European legislation to enhance the company’s position in increasing efficiency and sustainability in the retail supply chain. The role also involves creating outreach strategies across digital platforms and key industry events, while working with the Digital Manager to develop a digital strategy and explore opportunities for account-based marketing.
Bringing together a strong drive, a passion for sustainable business, and a sharp commercial mindset, the ideal candidate combines strategic thinking with a practical approach. They think in terms of opportunities, excel at prioritizing, and are constantly seeking new growth possibilities. A background in the retail industry – especially in supermarket chains – and an affinity with the fresh supply chain will help navigate the dynamics of this environment. Knowledge of sustainability practices and European legislation further strengthens the candidate’s ability to shape relevant and future-proof marketing strategies. Success in this role hinges on a hands-on, ‘make it happen’ attitude, combined with the confidence to take initiative and make independent decisions, while appreciating the value of effective collaboration.
