About the Company

We are a well-established consumer products company with a strong national brand presence and decades of customer loyalty built through innovation, quality, and memorable customer experiences.

As we continue investing in our direct-to-consumer growth strategy, we are looking for a highly strategic and data-driven DTC Marketing Specialist to lead campaign planning, lifecycle marketing, organic content strategy, influencer partnerships, agency management, and DTC revenue growth.

This is a highly autonomous role for someone who thrives in ownership-driven environments and enjoys making decisions that directly impact revenue performance. You will not simply execute marketing initiatives—you will help determine what the company says, when it says it, where it says it, and how those efforts translate into measurable business growth.

The Opportunity

This is not a social media management role. This is not a content coordination role.

This is a DTC growth leadership position responsible for developing and executing integrated marketing strategies that drive customer acquisition, engagement, retention, and revenue. You will serve as the strategic owner of multiple customer-facing marketing channels and become the primary driver behind campaign execution and performance optimization.

Success in this role requires a unique combination of:

You will be expected to operate with a high degree of independence and bring recommendations backed by data rather than waiting for direction.

Note on Hands-On Execution:While you will own strategy and planning, you will also be expected to execute key marketing initiatives directly. You will build email campaigns, create marketing assets, manage agency relationships, develop campaign calendars, and drive marketing performance across multiple channels. This is not a people-management role; success requires both strategic thinking and executional excellence.
