Innovation Marketing Manager
Slough (Head Office) with some travel to other sites.

We operate a dynamic working model built on trust, choice and balance. Colleagues typically connect in person 3 days per week, as we know the best ideas and relationships grow when we collaborate side by side.

We also offer Dynamic Friday Hours, giving colleagues the opportunity to flex their time and finish early on a Friday, where the role allows.

Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for an Innovation Marketing Manager to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

About the role
This is a key role within our Marketing team, reporting to the Head of Innovation. You’ll help grow our business by developing insight-driven, profitable and sustainable new products that excite our customers and lead category growth. You’ll take creative ideas from consumer insights and turn them into reality, working cross-functionally and influencing stakeholders to deliver innovation that makes a difference.

What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

Competitive annual salary, annual salary review and annual bonus opportunity (target 7.5%), plus KP Pension Plan with up to 7% matched contributions and £6,000 car allowance

25 days holiday, with the option to buy up to five additional days, plus additional holiday after five years’ service

Comprehensive healthcare including Single Cover Private Healthcare, Health Cash Plan, Digital GP and Employee Assistance Programme

Electric Vehicle Car Scheme, supporting more sustainable and cost-effective travel

KP4ME benefits platform with discounts, cashback and wellbeing support

Enhanced family-friendly policies to support colleagues at every stage of life

What will you be doing?

Identify and develop consumer-led propositions that deliver category growth and commercial value, using deep knowledge of consumers, brands, and market trends

Lead the end-to-end innovation process, from idea generation through Stage Gate, ensuring projects are insight-driven and commercially viable

Create compelling concepts for research and consumer testing, translating insights into actionable product ideas

Build robust business cases for new product development, including financial modelling and risk assessment

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Brand Marketing, Research & Insights, Product Development, Category Management, Shopper Marketing and Commercial teams

Manage timelines and budgets for innovation projects, ensuring delivery against agreed milestones

Influence senior stakeholders and secure buy-in for innovation proposals, presenting clear and persuasive recommendations

Monitor market performance of launched products and identify opportunities for optimisation and future growth

Work closely with Intersnack Group colleagues across Europe to share best practice and align on innovation objectives

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

Significant experience in FMCG innovation or marketing, ideally within the food industry

Proven track record of launching successful, insight-led products that deliver commercial results

Strong understanding of consumer research, category dynamics and brand growth strategies

Experience managing complex projects through Stage Gate processes

Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to engage senior leaders

Strong financial acumen and ability to build commercially sound business cases

Highly competent in PowerPoint and Excel; experience with Nielsen Answers and Kantar WorldPanel Online is advantageous
