Job Expectations:
  • Platform Management: Oversee the end-to-end execution of iHerb's retail media offerings, including Sponsored Products, Display, and Video ads across web and mobile app interfaces.

  • Vendor Strategy & Adoption: Collaborate with the Merchandising and Category Management teams to drive RMN adoption among iHerb's brand portfolio. Develop educational materials and best-practice guides to help vendors maximize their Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).
  • Ad Inventory Optimization: Partner with Product and Engineering teams to identify and implement new ad placements (white space) that drive incremental revenue without compromising site performance or user conversion.
  • Global Campaign Alignment: Integrate retail media placements with iHerb's global promotional calendar, ensuring ad strategies align with major shopping events such as the 29th Anniversary Sale, Singles' Day, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
