Founded in 1873, Ganong stands as Canada's oldest family-owned and operated chocolate company. With a rich heritage and unwavering commitment to quality, we proudly produce our renowned confections in Canada's Chocolate Town — St. Stephen, New Brunswick.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of Marketing, the Associate Brand Manager plays a key role in supporting the development, execution, and performance of brand strategies across Ganong's product portfolio.

You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Sales, R&D, Operations, Finance, and external agencies—to deliver impactful marketing initiatives that resonate with our customers and drive growth.
