When it comes to whisky, people will tell you there are rules and traditions to adhere to.

We didn’t believe that 130 years ago and we don’t believe it now. 

Are you willing to write the next chapter for a 130-year-old luxury spirits business? We are looking for a creative and digital first marketeer to join our team during one of the most exciting phases of our history.

Glenfiddich has been at the forefront of luxury single malts and challenging category conventions since 1887. We are proud to be family owned for over 130 years and are the world’s most awarded single malt scotch whisky. Whilst celebrating and honouring our great past, we are driven by the endless possibilities of the future. We continue to push the boundaries and ask ourselves, where next?
