• Build digital ecosystems optimized for brand awareness, product education, flavour innovation launches, seasonal campaigns, and in-store conversion.

• Partner closely with media, shopper marketing, retail, and e-commerce teams to integrate full-funnel CPG strategies, including retailer-specific activations (Walmart, Amazon, etc.).

• Instruct research and data teams to uncover new findings and morph them into insights

• Develop intellectual and compelling strategy documents & content frameworks that shift the way people think

• Drive the creative brief through a clearly identified problem, insight, advantage, and strategy

• Familiarity with CPG marketing workflows such as shopper marketing partnerships, promo cycles, flavour/variant launches, and retail media is an advantage.

• Are energized by the pace and creativity of CPG innovation, from seasonal moments to limited-edition product launches.

• Can bring culture-first thinking to categories driven by taste, nostalgia, fun, and impulse.

• Have the spiciest take in the room (we want people who think differently than we do)
