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 Senior Brand Marketing Manager 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.

Success in this role requires a unique combination of:
* Brand strategy
* Campaign development
* Lifecycle marketing
* Data analysis
