• Drive campaign development from brief through execution and performance analysis.
• Manage agency partners and ensure best-in-class creative output.

Retail Development

• Partner with Sales and Retail Development teams to create compelling retailer‑specific programs.
• Support key account presentations and marketing sell‑in opportunities.
• Develop promotional and merchandising initiatives that drive velocity and visibility at retail.

Performance & Insights

• Track campaign effectiveness and business impact.
• Analyze brand performance, consumer trends, and competitive activity.
• Recommend optimization opportunities and growth initiatives.

• Experience working cross‑functionally with sales, creative, media, and agency partners.

Skills

• Excellent communication and presentation abilities.
• Strong understanding of media, social, PR, and retail marketing.

• Entrepreneurial, self-starter mentality.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment.

Why You Will Love It Here

• Work on category-leading brands and emerging growth opportunities.
• Have a direct impact on strategy and execution.
• Join a fast-growing company where great ideas move quickly.
• Collaborate with passionate teams that believe work should be as fun as the products we create.
