BRAND ACTIVATION MANAGER – MATERNITY COVER
 

We are looking for a Brand Activation Manager to translate Muuto’s brand strategy into distinctive physical, cultural and community-facing activations.

Reporting to the Head of Brand Communications and working closely with colleagues across Sales and Sales Operations, PR and Communications, you will bring structure, momentum and a consistent Muuto expression to every activation.

The ideal candidate

You are a structured and proactive brand project manager with experience in events, activations or brand work. You combine creative judgment with strong execution skills, enjoy coordinating many moving parts and know how to turn an idea into a concrete plan and bring it to life successfully.

You take ownership, communicate clearly and are comfortable being hands-on when a project moves from planning to reality.
