  • Partner with cross-functional and regional teams to scale strategies into actionable plans and execution
  • Establish and maintain brand guidelines and standards to ensure consistency and quality across touchpoints
  • Identify and develop strategic partnerships or initiatives that deliver incremental brand and business value
  • Share best practices, strategic guidance, and learnings across teams to build capability and alignment
What we're looking for
  • 8+ years of experience in brand management or marketing, preferably within CPG or related industries
  • Strong strategic thinker with the ability to translate insights into clear, actionable plans
  • Proven experience building and growing brands with strong positioning, purpose, and performance
  • Demonstrated leadership and influence across complex, matrixed organizations
  • Experience guiding innovation, renovation, and portfolio strategy across multiple initiatives
  • Strong analytical and financial acumen, including experience with P&L drivers
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity while driving clarity, alignment, and results
  • Collaborative, curious, and results-oriented self-starter with strong communication skills
