Suntory Beverage & Food Oceania (SBFO) is looking for a Chief Marketing Officer to join their Executive Team.

This is more than your ordinary marketing role; it’s a chance to redefine beverage culture in Oceania. You’ll be at the helm of a portfolio that blends global excellence with local relevance, driving innovation and growth across non-alcohol categories. Your leadership will help Suntory Oceania stand out as a trailblazer in beverage experiences, setting new standards for consumer engagement and brand impact.

You’ll lead:

• Brand & Innovation Leadership: Drive culturally resonant innovation and brand experiences that connect with evolving lifestyle trends.

• Digital Transformation: Champion AI, data-driven marketing, and digital engagement to unlock measurable growth.

• Commercial Performance: Collaborate across Sales, R&D, and global teams to deliver joint business plans and maximize market penetration, ensuring accelerated growth.

• Enterprise Leadership: Shape SBFO’s strategic direction as a key member of the Executive Team, fostering a high-performance culture of innovation, accountability, and collaboration.

Inspiring Brilliance

As a seasoned CMO with a track record of success in large, complex, multi-market organisations (FMCG or consumer sectors preferred), you’ll bring:

• Value centric leadership: pairing strong commercial acumen and agility with a passion for consumer-obsessed innovation, you’ll bring an entrepreneurial mindset and deep marketing expertise to drive transformative growth. You’ll lead with bold vision, inspire cross-functional collaboration, and unlock new opportunities across the Oceania region.

• Futurist perspective: you’ll be at the forefront of what’s possible, anticipating trends, inspiring innovation and embracing emerging technologies, reimagining consumer experiences and leading for innovation to future-proof our portfolio and elevate our brands to new heights.

• Transformational leadership: cultivating a high-performance culture, championing diversity of thought and background, and building future-fit capability across the organisation, you’ll empower teams to thrive, unlock potential, and lead with purpose to shape a bold future.
