- Develop customer segments and targeted marketing strategies.
- Evaluate promotions, discounts, loyalty offers, email, and SMS performance.
- Help balance promotional activity with margin and profitability goals.
- Recommend opportunities to improve the customer journey and overall engagement

## Marketing Performance

- Establish practical marketing KPIs and recurring reporting.
- Analyze customer behavior, campaign performance, sales trends, and promotional results.
- Use data to identify what's working, what isn't, and where marketing resources should be focused.
- Present actionable recommendations to company leadership.

## Cross-Functional & Vendor Coordination

- Collaborate with Retail, Wholesale, Operations, Manufacturing, Procurement, and company leadership.
- Support product launches, retail promotions, wholesale initiatives, events, and other company priorities.
- Establish clear timelines, responsibilities, and approval processes for marketing projects.
- Help create a more organized and consistent marketing workflow across the company.

## What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of progressive marketing experience.
- Previous experience as a Marketing Manager, Senior Marketing Manager, Marketing Strategist, Fractional Marketing Manager, or similar role.
- Experience developing and executing multi-channel marketing campaigns.
- Experience with CRM, loyalty, email/SMS, customer acquisition, retention, and promotional marketing.
- Strong project-management and organizational skills.
- Comfortable coordinating outside designers, agencies, and other creative partners.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate customer and campaign data into practical recommendations.
- Ability to work independently within a lean organization without a large internal marketing department.
