About Winsor & Newton

Since 1832, Winsor & Newton has blended artistic insight with scientific expertise to create high-quality art materials that transform how people make art. Our purpose is simple: to help artists everywhere feel in colour. With thousands of SKUs and a rich heritage, we continue to innovate and inspire creativity worldwide.

Your Role as Global Head of Product Marketing

You will be the strategic engine behind Winsor & Newton’s global portfolio – translating insight into action, shaping our five-year roadmap and building an innovation and renovation pipeline that keeps the brand culturally relevant and commercially strong. Leading a team of four, you’ll work cross-functionally to move ideas from early insight through to seamless global execution, partnering closely with Sustainability & Innovation, Operations and Markets.

We’re looking for someone who thinks both like an artist and a scientist: instinctive about the creative process, but rigorous in how they turn complexity into clear decisions. You’ll spot emerging behaviours, decode competitive shifts and make confident portfolio choices – driving margin through renovation, unlocking demand through innovation and strengthening competitiveness through sharper propositions and messaging.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor consumer behaviour, competitor activity and customer needs to generate actionable insight.
• Shape the brand’s five-year strategic roadmap and annual brand plan.
• Lead development of the innovation and renovation pipeline, optimising the global product portfolio.
• Set messaging standards and oversee packaging and shopper marketing tools.
• Build strong relationships with local markets to champion best practice and growth opportunities.
• Coach and inspire a team of four, fostering creativity, accountability and high performance.

Qualifications and Experience

• University degree or equivalent.
• Proven experience in brand management with a strong focus on innovation and portfolio management.
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Financial and analytical skills, with experience collaborating cross-functionally.
• Must be able to demonstrate: strategic thinking and vision; consumer-centric mindset; people leadership and capability building.
• Desirable: proficiency in a second language and a personal interest in art or creative background.
