Position Summary

The Vice President, Marketing leads Brio Water Technology's brand, digital marketing, and creative organization.

Primary Focus

The VP, Marketing owns the brand and the full marketing engine - but the center of gravity of the role is marketing-driven revenue.

Paid media, lifecycle/CRM, and content are managed to efficiency and new-customer targets set with the business, and brand work is judged by whether it moves awareness and demand. Creative is run as a production operation - clear intake, standards, and turnaround - so it fuels every channel rather than slowing one down.
