Full Job Description
Responsibilities

What you will be doing:

Connected Commerce Strategy & Growth
  • Own the Connected Commerce strategy for assigned clients, including the most complex accounts, stakeholder environments, and growth challenges within the portfolio
  • Translate client business goals into integrated growth strategies that drive incremental revenue and efficiency-not just channel performance
  • Identify, prioritize, and introduce new commerce levers clients can activate, making clear recommendations on where to invest, test, or deprioritize based on impact, scalability, and resource tradeoffs


Client Leadership & Advisory
  • Serve as the primary strategic point of contact and final Connected Commerce authority for clients, building trust through strong business acumen, clear point of view, and decisive recommendations
  • Elevate conversations within the client organization, gaining buy-in from senior stakeholders and positioning the organization as a long-term growth partner
  • Lead strategic moments including quarterly planning, business reviews, and growth planning sessions, owning the narrative, framing tradeoffs, and aligning stakeholders around committed plans
  • Strategic Planning & Investment Leadership
  • Own growth planning, budget strategy, and channel investment recommendations across the Connected Commerce ecosystem, with accountability for prioritization, sequencing, and impact at scale
  • Use market trends, performance data, and industry insights to inform strategy and identify new opportunities


Cross-Team Collaboration
  • Partner closely with Media, Investment, Operations and other critical Lines of Business to ensure strategic intent translates into effective, integrated execution, taking accountability for cross-team alignment-not just coordination
  • Identify recurring friction, unclear ownership, or execution risk across teams and drive resolution or escalation to prevent rework and over-servicing
  • Act as connective tissue across teams, reinforcing shared goals and outcomes rather than siloed success


Qualifications

What we look for:
  • Bachelor's Degree or commensurate work experience
  • 7+ plus years of experience working in a marketing role-ideally digital performance marketing
  • Strong written and verbal communication and relationship skills
  • Proficient knowledge of the Microsoft suite of products, including Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
  • Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in complex, ambiguous client environments
  • Comfort making and standing behind strategic decisions with incomplete information
  • Strong strategic thinker with the ability to connect data, trends, and client goals
  • Confident client communicator who can influence and inspire trust
  • Collaborative leader who brings teams together around shared outcomes
