Key Accounts Marketing Lead

Kalmbach Feeds Inc•Dublin, OH

About The Position

Kalmbach Feeds is a fast-growing, entrepreneurial company building leading brands in animal nutrition. We operate with a small, high-performing team where individuals are expected to think strategically, execute quickly, and work cross-functionally to drive real business results. We are not a large, layered organization. We move fast, expect ownership, and value people who can bring structure and clarity to complexity. We are hiring a Key Accounts Marketing Lead to own and elevate our presence with our most important retail partners. Today, key account marketing is fragmented across multiple people. This role is responsible for bringing focus, structure, and consistency to how we communicate brand plans, support new product launches, and execute customer-specific marketing programs. This is not a purely creative role. It is a highly cross-functional, execution-focused role that requires strong planning, follow-through, and the ability to translate brand strategy into customer-ready programs.
