About the Role:
We are looking for a passionate and commercially minded Marketing Activation Manager – Pharmacy ANZ to join our Health & Medical team to lead pharmacy channel marketing across Australia and New Zealand.
You will play a pivotal role in driving brand and product activation strategies tailored to the pharmacy channel. Reporting into Marketing Manager ANZ, you will be responsible for delivering sales and profitability targets, shaping category strategies, and ensuring our products are optimally positioned to meet customer and shopper needs.
This role offers much more than traditional marketing - it brings a strong commercial focus and the opportunity to make a real impact. You’ll support pricing, manage product changes, and work closely with key players in the pharmacy channel.
With plenty of variety, this role calls for someone who can prioritize with confidence and understands the unique pace and complexity of pharmacy. You’ll collaborate across banner groups, wholesalers, our agency partners, and a passionate sales team to help bring our products to life for the people who need them most.
Our team is close-knit, inclusive, and genuinely supportive. Led by a Marketing Manager who values trust, accountability, and collaboration, this is a space where people follow through, lift each other up, and enjoy the work we do -together.
If you have deep experience in the pharmacy channel but lighter marketing exposure, this could still be a great fit. We’re open to those looking for a career pivot - so if you’re ready for a new challenge and can bring your pharmacy expertise, we’d love to hear from you.
What You Will Do:
Lead category management initiatives to enhance core product ranging and on-shelf visibility.
Develop and implement channel-specific marketing strategies aligned with global brand guidelines.
Drive sales and profit growth through effective assortment, pricing, and promotional planning.
Coordinate below-the-line (BTL) marketing activities and integrate them with broader communication plans.
Champion a category management mindset, contributing to pricing, promotion, merchandising, and customer marketing strategies.
Manage allocated advertising and promotional (A&P) budgets, ensuring optimal ROI.
Gather and apply insights from customers, shoppers, and the market to inform strategy.
Build strong relationships with professional bodies and key stakeholders in the pharmacy sector.
Embody and promote Essity’s core values: Care, Courage, Collaboration, and Commitment.
Who You Are:
You bring a deep understanding of the pharmacy channel, paired with strong organizational skills and a keen eye for detail. You’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is motivated by making a meaningful impact. Ideally, you will have:
A degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field
Experience in channel marketing within the pharmacy sector
Strong commercial acumen and a customer-first mindset
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
A data-informed, solutions-focused approach with a track record of delivering results
