Brand Manager - Interim

Brand Transition Lead (Interim) – Travel Operator | London (Hybrid)

We’re supporting a major UK travel operator as it undergoes a significant brand transformation as part of a wider national transition programme.

This is a highly sensitive and business-critical interim role, ideal for an experienced brand and marketing professional who understands how to deliver change in a regulated environment.

The Opportunity You’ll play a central role in shaping and delivering a brand transition programme, acting as the key point of contact across the business. Working within a small but high-impact team, you’ll ensure national brand guidelines are effectively interpreted, implemented and embedded across all customer touchpoints.

• Initial 6-month contract / interim assignment
• London-based, hybrid working 
• Circa £400 per day 
• Immediate / ASAP start

The Role

• Act as the lead for brand transition activity, ensuring alignment with central and industry-wide guidelines
• Translate brand frameworks into practical, deliverable plans for the organisation
• Serve as the key brand point of contact, engaging stakeholders across multiple functions
• Work closely with teams across customer experience, operations, fleet/assets and physical environments
• Support the rollout of updated branding across customer-facing touchpoints, including on-site environments and assets
• Bring structure and clarity to the overall transition programme, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met
• Collaborate with internal marketing teams (campaigns, digital, CRM) to support execution

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience delivering brand transformation or transition programmes
• Ideally: Experience working in a regulated environment (e.g. travel, transport, utilities, public sector)
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across complex organisations
• Experience working with centralised brand guidelines and adapting them for local implementation
• Comfortable operating in a highly sensitive, evolving environment
• Hands-on, pragmatic and able to bring structure to ambiguity
• Strong understanding of customer-facing brand touchpoints, both physical and digital

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a large-scale, high-profile transformation programme within the travel sector. You’ll play a visible role in shaping how a major operator transitions into a new identity—balancing strategic intent with real-world delivery.

If you’re experienced in brand transformation within regulated environments and can navigate complexity with confidence, we’d love to hear from you.
