Experience executing omnichannel strategy across Grocery, Mass, Club, and emerging channels.
Analytical mindset with experience using consumer insights, retail data, and brand health metrics.
Senior enough to set the strategy, practical enough to make the work happen.
Strategic and hands-on: You can define the brand platform and still improve the retail sell-in deck, launch brief, or paid campaign creative.
Consumer-led and commercially sharp: You care deeply about the consumer, but you know marketing must drive trial, velocity, and repeat purchase.
Brand builder + performance operator: You know how to make a brand feel distinctive and emotionally relevant without losing commercial discipline.
Data-informed and practical: You use insights and metrics to make better decisions while keeping momentum in a fast-moving environment.
Collaborative leader: You work well with Sales, R&D, Finance, Operations, agencies, and founders.
Builder mentality: You enjoy creating systems, teams, processes, and marketing muscle that can scale.
