Rebranding Manager

What You Will Do

The Rebranding Manager will lead and coordinate the successful delivery of a comprehensive rebranding programme across the UK Landbased Security business.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will take ownership of the rebranding roadmap, ensuring the new brand identity is implemented consistently, professionally and efficiently across all relevant customer, employee, operational and physical touchpoints.

This is a highly visible role requiring strong programme management, stakeholder engagement and commercial awareness. You will work closely with senior leadership and teams across Sales, Operations, Marketing, HR, Finance, Procurement, Fleet, Facilities, IT and Communications, as well as external suppliers and partners.

You will be responsible for turning the agreed brand strategy into a structured, practical implementation plan while ensuring business\-as\-usual operations and customer service are maintained throughout the transition.

How You Will Do It

  • Translate the overall rebranding strategy into detailed implementation plans across the business.

  • Establish appropriate programme governance, reporting and escalation processes.

  • Track progress against agreed timelines and provide regular updates to the General Manager and wider leadership team.

  • Identify potential risks, delays and dependencies and implement appropriate mitigation plans.

  • Coordinate multiple workstreams simultaneously while maintaining focus on quality, cost and delivery.
Brand Implementation

  • Engage operational teams to understand the practical impact of proposed changes.

  • Coordinate activity across functions to ensure clear ownership and accountability.

  • Work with corporate Marketing and Communications teams to ensure alignment with wider brand requirements.

Supplier \& Commercial Management
  • Work with Procurement to identify and manage external suppliers required to support the rebranding programme.

  • Coordinate quotations, specifications, production schedules and installations.

  • Monitor supplier performance against agreed quality, cost and delivery expectations.

  • Manage rebranding budgets and provide visibility of forecast versus actual expenditure.

  • Identify opportunities to achieve efficiencies through coordinated purchasing, phased implementation and the use of existing replacement cycles where appropriate.
Change Management \& Communications
  • Support the General Manager and leadership team in creating engagement around the new brand.

  • Develop a clear implementation and communications approach for employees and relevant external stakeholders.

  • Ensure changes are communicated in a structured and timely manner.

  • Work closely with managers to minimise disruption to customers and operational teams.

  • Identify areas of resistance, uncertainty or risk and develop appropriate interventions.

  • Help create a strong sense of ownership and pride in the new identity across the Landbased Security organisation.
Governance \& Brand Compliance
  • Establish processes to ensure the new identity is implemented consistently.

  • Maintain appropriate records covering rollout status, spend, suppliers, risks and outstanding actions.

  • Conduct reviews or audits following implementation to identify areas requiring correction.

  • Ensure legacy branding is removed or replaced in accordance with the agreed transition plan.

  • Work with relevant functions to ensure legal, regulatory, contractual, security and health \& safety requirements are considered throughout implementation.
