• Oversee creative development and production from concept through execution.
• Collaborate closely with Research, Media, Commercial, and Digital teams to ensure brand consistency across all consumer touchpoints.
• Present strategic recommendations and performance insights to senior leadership.
• Manage multiple initiatives simultaneously while balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution.
• Monitor campaign performance and identify opportunities to optimize brand growth.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of client-side Brand Management or Brand Strategy experience.
• Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) experience required; experience in fast-moving consumer products strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success building, evolving, or repositioning brands.
• Experience leading integrated marketing campaigns, including television and large-scale creative productions.
• Strong background in consumer insights, brand positioning, and market research.
• Proven ability to influence executive stakeholders through data-driven recommendations.
• Experience managing agency relationships and cross-functional marketing initiatives.
• Excellent communication, presentation, organization, and project management skills.
• Bachelor's degree required.
• MBA and bilingual Spanish skills are a plus.
• Ability to travel approximately 15% including international travel

• Strategic yet willing to roll up their sleeves.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced environment.
• Confident presenting recommendations supported by data.
• Highly organized and able to manage shifting priorities.
• An independent self-starter who thrives with ownership and accountability.
• Collaborative, adaptable, and naturally curious about consumer behavior.
  
  

Why You'll Love This Opportunity
