Proactive Strategy & Advocacy

Architect the cross-sell strategy that converts service guests into loyal product buyers and optimizing the Shopify catalog for a seamless guest experience.
• Amazon Marketplace Management: Act as one of the primary points of contact for the 50 Pound Boson partnership, in partnership with our Product Manager. Ensure Amazon catalog health, and advertising spend are optimized for profitability.
