About the role
We're looking for our next Senior Marketing Manager to lead the Americas for ZURU Toys!
ZURU is on a mission to disrupt industries, challenge the status quo, and catalyse change through radical innovation and advances in automation. This is in play in different pillars of the company: ZURU Toys are re-imagining what it means to play; ZURU Tech is shaping a better future by leading the next building revolution; and ZURU Edge is pioneering new-generation FMCG brands to better serve modern consumers.
Founded in 2003 by EY Entrepreneur of the Year and World Entrepreneur Hall of Fame brothers Nick and Mat Mowbray, ZURU has quickly grown to a team of over 5,000 direct and indirect members across more than 30 international locations.
One of the largest toy companies in the world, our globally recognized and award-winning brands include Bunch O Balloons, Mini Brands, XSHOT, Rainbocorns, and Smashers. Our global FMCG brands include MONDAY Haircare, Rascals, NOOD, BONKERS, and Gumi Yum Surprise.
Position Impact
As Senior Marketing Manager for the Americas, you will play a critical role in driving ZURU's market dominance across one of our most strategic regions. Your leadership will directly influence how our brands show up in-store and online, ensuring every dollar invested delivers measurable growth.
By translating global brand strategies into locally relevant retail activations, you'll create seamless shopper journeys that convert awareness into purchase. Your strategic retailer partnerships will elevate ZURU from vendor to category captain, while your close collaboration with Sales will arm them with the insights and tools needed to win listings and exceed targets. This role is essential to ZURU's continued expansion and market leadership in the Americas.
ZURU is built on autonomy, ownership, and real impact. This is not a 9–5 environment. It is a high-performance culture grounded in deep collaboration, raising the bar, over-preparing, and winning the right way while staying a good human.
