  • Full P&L ownership for the Spirits category across all channels in Republic of Ireland (IOI) and Northern Ireland (NI) - driving sustainable growth and profitability for our commercial channels.
  • Strategic planning and execution across a 3-year horizon, translating ambition into action through IBP, MBP, and AOP processes.
  • Internal collaborator engagement to co-create and align on long-term category strategy.
  • External socialisation of the category vision and plans with key customers and heads of channel.
  • Leadership of a cross-functional category team, ensuring agile resource allocation and high-performance delivery.
  • Category development leadership, setting the agenda and driving execution across innovation, portfolio strategy, and consumer insights.
  • Ownership of the 5-lever NRM (Net Revenue Management) plan, ensuring value creation across pricing, mix, and promotional strategy.
  • End-to-end customer marketing leadership, from planning to execution, ensuring brand and commercial alignment.
  • Talent development and team leadership, nurturing the next generation of Category Development Managers, Revenue Growth Managers, and Customer Marketing Managers.
What You'll Bring:
  • A proven track record in marketing, category or commercial leadership, with strong strategic and financial acumen.
  • Ability to lead a cross-functional team and influence across a matrixed organisation.
  • Deep understanding of P&L management, revenue growth levers, and customer marketing.
  • A passion for developing talent, with a strong coaching approach and a commitment to building future leaders.
  • The ability to translate strategy into execution, balancing long-term vision with short-term delivery.
  • Strong partner management skills, both internally and externally.
  • A collaborative, inclusive leadership style that inspires trust and gets results.
Why This Role, Why Now?

This is more than a 12-month cover - it's a unique opportunity to lead one of Diageo's most exciting categories through a pivotal phase of growth and transformation. With a world-class portfolio, a dedicated team, and a clear strategic mandate, you'll have the platform to make a lasting impact.

What We Offer:
  • A flexible, inclusive workplace where you can do your best work - your way.
  • A competitive salary, bonus, and benefits package tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
  • Access to market-leading development, leadership coaching, and career growth opportunities.
