You will thrive in a lean, supportive team structure where your expertise in brand strategy, digital marketing, and omnichannel campaigns will be valued and nurtured. The company is committed to fostering an inclusive environment with flexible working opportunities, ongoing training, and a culture that encourages collaboration across departments. If you are passionate about making a meaningful impact on business results while enjoying generous support for your professional growth, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

  • Take ownership of brand strategies and annual plans by leveraging market insights, consumer trends, and customer feedback to ensure impactful growth initiatives.
  • Work collaboratively with internal teams and external agencies to deliver high-quality marketing activities that optimise investment and drive measurable results.

What you'll do:

As the Senior Brand Manager in Ho Chi Minh City, you will play a central role in shaping the future of the organisation’s brands within Vietnam.

You will also design innovative digital campaigns tailored for diverse audiences including consumers, healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and e-commerce partners.

Your leadership will extend beyond direct reports as you provide training sessions for field teams and influence cross-functional projects related to product innovation. Success in this role requires a blend of strategic vision and practical execution—your ability to analyse data, optimise investments, manage commercial performance metrics such as P&L and ROI, and foster collaborative relationships will be key drivers of both personal achievement and organisational success.

  • Develop comprehensive brand strategies and annual plans based on deep market analysis, consumer behaviour insights, and customer engagement data to ensure sustainable growth.
  • Identify new avenues for expansion across consumer engagement, digital channels, healthcare professional outreach, and portfolio development by staying attuned to evolving market needs.
  • Manage brand budgets meticulously by prioritising investments that maximise business impact while monitoring sales performance and forecasting accuracy.
  • Collaborate closely with Sales teams to guarantee seamless execution of brand strategies that translate into increased market share and improved commercial outcomes.

  • Partner with external agencies to develop compelling marketing campaigns and communication materials that resonate with target audiences while ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Monitor campaign effectiveness continuously by optimising activities based on real-time data analytics and results-driven insights.
  • Lead cross-functional projects focused on product innovation, renovation, lifecycle management, and post-launch evaluation by aligning local needs with regional strategies.
  • Provide product and brand training to field teams and relevant stakeholders while influencing cross-functional groups without direct reporting authority.
