Position Overview

The Director, Commercial Promotion Strategy & Analytics is a high-impact leadership role responsible for governing, evaluating, and optimizing multi-million-dollar promotional investments across all carrier partner accounts (e.g., T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T). Acting as the strategic Product Manager and commercial authority for promotional programs, this leader bridges the gap between deep financial analytics, carrier account sales teams, and Go-To-Market (GTM) execution. The role requires rigorous data analysis—dissecting invoice-level data, carrier subsidy splits, sell-out lift elasticities, and complex promotion structures (such as tiered trade-in matrices and premium rate-plan restrictions)—to establish actionable promotion guidelines. The ideal candidate ensures every promotional dollar invested drives incremental sell-out volume, protects brand equity, and aligns seamlessly with retail enablement and integrated marketing KPIs.

Role and Responsibilities

• Strategic Promotional Governance & Commercial Guidance Serve as the central PM authority defining overarching promotional guidelines, investment thresholds, and ROI guardrails for all carrier account teams
• Partner with Account Sales Leads to evaluate proposed carrier roadmaps, challenge assumptions, and provide data-backed recommendations on promotional construct and timing
• Establish standard evaluation frameworks to guide sales teams on when and how to deploy funding (e.g., launch windows, mid-lifecycle sustainment, holiday/Q4 peak, competitive response)
• Deep Invoice & Promotional Analytics Conduct granular, multi-layered analysis of historical invoice claims, carrier billings, sell-in/sell-out velocity, and channel inventory to audit promotional efficiency
• Deconstruct Samsung vs. Carrier promotional cost-sharing ("promo split") across distinct funding buckets
• Model scenario-based sell-out lift and revenue impact: quantify the elasticity and trade-offs of shifting dollars across promotional mechanisms (e.g., moving $100 from rate-plan tied bill credits to upfront trade-in subsidy)
• Unpack complex carrier promotional architectures—specifically carrier plan restrictions (e.g., top-tier unlimited plans) and trade-in tiering—to measure true consumer accessibility and conversion impact
• GTM, Marketing & Retail Alignment Lead commercial alignment within the broader cross-functional GTM engine, synchronizing promotional timing with national ATL/BTL marketing campaigns, brand launches, and retail merchandising initiatives
• Collaborate with Retail Operations and Field Sales to measure how promotional offers translate into field execution, carrier store associate mindshare, and point-of-sale conversion
• Connect promotional strategies directly to brand and commercial KPIs: Net Revenue, Sell-Out Units, Market Share, Average Selling Price (ASP), Promo Spend-to-Sales Ratio, and ROAS
• Executive Reporting & Tooling Roadmap Build and maintain dynamic commercial dashboards and predictive promo-modeling tools for executive leadership and account teams
• Present bi-weekly/monthly promotional performance reviews and future roadmap recommendations to C-suite and regional executive committees

Skills and Qualifications

• Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics, Finance, Economics, Engineering, or related quantitative field
• 12+ years of progressive commercial strategy, revenue management, product management, or promotional analytics experience
• 3+ years in a senior leadership/director capacity
• Extensive experience in the Mobile industry, Telecommunications (MNO/MVNO)

• Preferred Qualifications: MBA or Master’s degree strongly preferred and 10+ years of relevant experience
