About The Position

Horizon Commerce is a full-service Commerce agency that builds brands, performance programs, and shopping experiences to enable businesses in accelerating Commerce sales growth. We opened our virtual doors in February of 2020, born in the midst of a transformation in Retail and eCommerce that has shaped and sharpened our capabilities and approach, and have been partnering with leading brands to fuel commerce ever since. We were founded on the understanding that brands looking to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving commerce landscape need a new breed of “digitally native” partner that truly understands how to win in the new digital aisle. Created with this focus and as an integral part of Horizon Media, the largest independent media agency in the U.S., we break down the silos between media and shopping experiences to help optimize the full modern consumer path to purchase, from discovery through conversion. At Horizon Commerce, we understand the value that different experiences, skills and perspectives can bring to both our team and our clients, so we strive for an environment where our employees feel welcomed, supported and empowered. Our simple recipe for team success is to hire talented people (thinkers, doers, dreamers, makers) challenge them and give them every opportunity to grow.
