Brand Manager – The Original Donut Shop® Coffee

Brand Manager – The Original Donut Shop® Coffee

At Keurig Dr Pepper, we’re not just in the beverage business—we’re in the business of fueling moments people look forward to. Few brands do that better than The Original Donut Shop® Coffee—a brand built on simple, joyful indulgence with untapped runway for growth.

We’re looking for a Brand Manager to help take this brand to its next chapter—expanding its reach, modernizing its voice, and unlocking growth across both our core business and innovation platforms. This is a rare opportunity to step into a brand at an inflection point and shape what it becomes next.

What You’ll Own

This isn’t just brand stewardship—it’s brand acceleration.

• Lead the next chapter of growth
  Define and drive a clear brand vision rooted in consumer truth—identifying where to double down in the base business and where to unlock whitespace through innovation.
• Unlock demand across everyday rituals
  Strengthen the brand’s role in daily coffee moments while stretching into new formats, occasions, and product propositions that bring new consumers in.
• Build culturally relevant, breakthrough marketing
  Own the integrated communications strategy end-to-end—developing work that shows up with personality, warmth, and relevance in culture.
• Champion the brand across the organization
  Be the voice of the consumer and the business—aligning cross-functional partners across insights, innovation, sales, and media to deliver against bold growth goals.
• Operate with a GM mindset
  Manage the business with rigor—prioritizing investments, making data-informed decisions, and driving accountability for results.

Why This Role

• A brand with permission to grow – Strong awareness and equity, with meaningful headroom to expand across formats and occasions
• A portfolio mindset – Opportunity to shape both the core business and future innovation pipeline
• A moment that matters – Real influence on how this brand evolves and shows up in culture
• A team that moves – Fast-paced, collaborative, and focused on delivering impact

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking to move from managing a brand to truly shaping one, this is that opportunity.
