Own and manage the Brand P&L, making data-driven decisions that support profitable growth and market share development.
Evaluate the existing brand and product strategy, identify what is working well, and recommend adjustments to pricing, positioning, and focus areas.
Act as a mini-CEO for the product line, making thoughtful trade-offs on where to focus time and resources across multiple initiatives with varying timelines.
Develop and refine marketing plans that support both short-term commercial objectives and long-term brand building.
Manage projects and lead workstreams, ensuring deliverables are completed on time and in line with strategic goals.
Assess and prioritize several concurrent initiatives, determining where to invest effort based on deadlines, impact, and strategic importance.
Provide clear, balanced recommendations to the Director based on observations and analysis, focusing on the most meaningful opportunities and issues.
Drive product and brand positioning that resonates with multiple end customers, including both distributors and end consumers.
Navigate and align branding and marketing efforts to address the needs of distributors who purchase the products and consumers who ultimately use them.

Contribute to brand marketing and product marketing activities that strengthen brand equity and support category growth.
Apply category management principles to identify growth opportunities and improve the product line’s performance within the market.

Ability to think through and design branding strategies for multiple end customers, including distributors and end consumers.

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role with in-office presence required three days per week at a South Park–area office, with most of the team typically on-site Tuesday through Thursday. The position is not a traditional brand marketing role; instead, it operates like running a business within a product line, focusing on keeping the commercial engine moving rather than building campaigns from scratch. The environment involves managing several concurrent initiatives with different deadlines, requiring strong prioritization and decision-making. You will work closely with a Director and cross-functional partners, including a digital manager, in a collaborative, performance-focused setting. The role centers on marketing and branding to both distributors and end consumers, including products that require specific measurements and prescriptions, such as compression products for individuals dealing with lymphedema. The culture supports taking ownership, offering input based on observations, and potentially exploring longer-term opportunities depending on performance.
