• Own account strategy and execution for key mass retailers, including Target and Walmart.
• Manage forecasting, trade spend, promotional planning, and merchandising execution.
• Build strong partnerships with retailer teams and broker partners to deliver results.
• Partner with the Omnichannel Marketing team to execute impactful, on-platform media campaigns that drive incremental sales.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Supply Chain, and Brand teams to ensure flawless execution and alignment with business objectives.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Business or a related field.
• Proven experience managing mass retail accounts (Target, Walmart, or similar).
• Strong financial, analytical, and strategic planning skills, with experience owning a P&L.
• Proficiency in Nielsen or Circana/IRI and data-driven decision-making.
• CPG experience required; hair or personal care preferred.
• Excellent negotiation, relationship-building, and communication skills.
• Entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
