About the Role

DKSH is continuously strengthening our Talent Acquisition and employer branding efforts, and this role plays a key part in shaping and enhancing how we present ourselves to talent across our markets. As Employer Branding Lead, you will drive and deliver employer branding initiatives as meaningful projects, partnering closely with TA, HR, Group Marketing, and local markets to turn ideas into tangible outcomes.

Working across markets at different stages of maturity, you will play a key enabling role—guiding, influencing, and supporting teams to see the value of employer branding and confidently bring it to life. This is an opportunity to shape how DKSH shows up to talent globally, with real ownership, visibility, and impact.

We are looking for someone with strong marketing instincts, a sharp eye for storytelling, and the ability to proactively orchestrate multiple stakeholders and workstreams. If you enjoy building momentum, creating clarity, and making progress in a dynamic, recruitment driven environment, this role offers a rewarding platform to make a difference.

Define clear employer brand pillars, messaging frameworks, and narrative direction that markets can easily adopt.
Turn insight into action through structured, measurable roadmaps

Content Development & Storytelling

Digital Platforms & Candidate Experience

Lead the careers site evolution as a cross‑functional project, covering structure, storytelling, visual identity, and candidate journey.
Strengthen DKSH’s employer brand presence across LinkedIn, job boards, career communities, and review platforms.

Coordinate stakeholders and timelines to ensure campaigns are delivered with quality and speed and track impact and optimise for results

Market Enablement, Stakeholder & Project Management

Actively partner with TA and HR teams across markets to drive employer branding adoption, while also contributing to selected TArelated initiatives and programmes beyond core EB activities.
Proactively engage markets—anticipating needs, preparing them for employer branding and broader TA initiatives, and guiding execution.
Manage multiple employer branding and TArelated initiatives in parallel, using clear project plans, governance, and communication to ensure delivery.

Internal Advocacy & Brand Governance

Launch and scale an employee ambassador program to amplify real voices.
Train TA and HR teams on EB principles, social media best practices, and EVP storytelling.
Maintain brand consistency while still enabling creative and local adaptation.
