Quality in all we do
Doing the right thing

Leaving the world better than we found it
Position Summary We’re looking for a detail‑obsessed, proactive Marketing Specialist with 3–7 years of experience to support the Marketing and Sales teams across events logistics, sample coordination, creative content, and branded merchandise. This role is the connective tissue behind some of our most important brand touchpoints — keeping things running smoothly so the bigger moments can shine.
You’ll work closely with both the Adams Group and Marianne’s teams, wearing multiple hats in a fast‑moving environment where no two weeks look the same. If you’re someone who loves a good checklist as much as a good creative brief, you’ll thrive here.
This is a rare opportunity to work across two compelling brands at a pivotal moment in their growth — a century‑old ingredient company entering a new era, and a values‑driven retail brand just beginning to build its presence. You won’t be buried in a marketing department. You’ll be close to the action, contributing to real outcomes, and growing alongside a team that genuinely cares about what it builds.
