Hasbro is looking to recruit a senior brand manager for its Transformers range.
The
firm is looking for someone to take the reins on the Transformers:
Revenge of the Fallen toy line is released alongside what is expected
to be the biggest summer movie of 2009.
Transformers: RoTF is
expected to build on the success of the movie year 2007, when
Transformers became the number one boys toy and licence.
Hasbro
is looking for an exceptional individual who can not only work closely
with Paramount pictures, UK retail, Hasbro sales teams, media and PR
agencies in the UK but also support a global marketing drive.
Transformers
is not just a movie line: the range also consists of Universe and
Animated lines, contributing to its 25-year success.
The ideal candidate will have significant relevant experience, ideally in a kids or entertainment role.
Experience in budget management is required as the role has a large
A&P. The successful applicant will also need to have strong
management skills to enthuse the sales team.
Hasbro is looking
for somebody with trade appreciation of the UK retail scene and a
person who is self-motivated, highly organised and ambitious with high
energy.
Applicants for the role should have a long-term
strategy and short-term pragmatism outlook and have a knowledge of
media, creative, promotional and PR agencies.
Finally, the right person for the job will need to be a team player.
