Senior Brand & Creative Content manager
About Calo
Launched in Bahrain in November of 2019, Calo is on a mission to make healthy easy. We’re a team of dedicated people driving this mission by providing better, faster, and cheaper ways to access food through technology.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Brand & Creative Content manager to join Calo’s central marketing team. This hybrid role blends high-level brand strategy with creative leadership. You will be responsible for shaping and evolving Calo’s brand identity across multiple countries, verticals, and product lines, ensuring that everything we produce from campaigns to visuals to content reflects our mission to make healthy easy. If you’re equally comfortable brainstorming a killer brand campaign and directing its content and assets production, this could be the role for you.
Role Responsibilities
- Brand Strategy & Custodianship
- Continuously develop and refine Calo’s brand identity, voice, and messaging to ensure consistency across all platforms, verticals and regions
- Evolve the brand guidelines and collaborate with local marketing teams to adapt for cultural nuances while maintaining a unified brand presence
- Oversee brand awareness and equity initiatives, measuring success through brand health metrics and customer feedback and consumer insight
- Content Marketing & Winning Big in Events
- We want you to dream up content and event engagement that puts Calo on everyone’s radar. It could be short-form videos or epic long-form pieces, a quirky podcast or something totally off the wall, whatever grabs attention and keeps people talking about Calo. You’ll lead these projects from idea to launch, work with local teams to bring them to life, and continuously measure what’s working so we can do more of it. Our main goal? Generate buzz, build brand love, and keep Calo front and center wherever our audience hangs out.
