Elise James – Senior Brand Manager

Elise James our Senior Brand Manager – Beverages shares how she’s supported with her career progression

I’ve been with the Bega Group for nine and a half years and if I had to describe the Bega Group in three words, my three words would be flexible, large and proudly Australian.
Initially, I was attracted here because I’d heard about the amount of opportunity and progression available being such a large business. Throughout my time at the company, I have been supported to gain immense cross functional experience having worked in various roles across Sales, Activation and most recently Brand marketing. During my time in marketing, I have had the opportunity to own the brand strategy for our Australian owned and made brands to deliver positive outcomes for all Australians. It’s a pretty big and ambitious role for me with lots of responsibility but it is the direct link I see between my role and my contribution towards the Bega Group’s vision, which is what provides me passion and purpose in my role here every day!

The Bega Group is serious about workplace flexibility, they provide arrangements that support each individual and their needs. At this stage of life, being a mum of two young children, this means the option of working part time and flexibly (a mix of office days and from home days). This level of flexibility has enabled me to return to a role and an organisation that I am extremely passionate about while also being able to maintain family commitments.

When I think about the Bega Group and the culture, I’d describe it as dynamic, and ever changing, but based on people supporting each other and being kind to one another. Here I feel supported to be the best I can be at work and home – it’s one of the core reasons I choose to continue to grow my career here!
