  • Present strategy and initiatives to senior leadership – both internal to APG and external to our Retail partners.

• Sales Team Support
  • Develop a deep integration with Retail leadership to understand – and achieve – sales goals for multiple APG brands simultaneously.
  • Work closely with internal and externalstakeholders to ensure that APG delivers a best-in-class brand experience at every stage of the buying cycle, both online and in-store.

  • Work closely with stakeholders in brand management, CRM, sales and others to ensure their strategies and initiatives align with Retail Channel best practices and are effectively driving revenue.
  • Promote teamwork and collaboration, show initiative and influence with stakeholders to successfully execute Retail Channel marketing initiatives within a crowded landscape.
