Responsibilities

• Translate supplier and category strategies into integrated promotion plans (collections, campaigns, spotlights, and sales tools) that are easy for Account Executives to activate with clients.
• Build and maintain annual and quarterly supplier promotion calendars across traditional promo and non-traditional categories (POD, POS, premium/recognition, uniforms, internal production, etc.) in partnership with Marketing, Merchandising, and Seller Solutions.
• Package supplier offerings into AE-ready tools, including digital flyers, curated assortments, kit concepts, store assortments, and training content, ensuring alignment with HALO brand standards and positioning as a brand experience partner rather than a commodity merch vendor.
• Manage the intake, prioritization, and execution of supplier-funded promotions (MDF/co-op, incentives, limited-time offers), ensuring they support preferred supplier strategies, margin targets, and Supplier Optimization initiatives (e.g., waived setup fees, decorator consolidation).
• Coordinate cross-functional execution of promotions:
• Brief Marketing and Creative on campaign objectives, audiences, and required assets.
• Align with Merchandising and Supplier Relations on product selection, pricing, and SKU readiness.
• Partner with Operations/IT to ensure systems, stores, and fulfillment are configured for smooth execution
• Develop clear AE-facing enablement (launch notes, talking points, FAQs, and short training sessions) to drive adoption of supplier promotions and minimize support friction.
• Track and report promotion performance (supplier participation, sales lift, margin impact, AE engagement) and share insights with Supplier Strategy, Supplier Optimization, Finance, and Commercial leadership to inform future plans.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in promotional products, trade marketing, supplier relations, category management, or a related B2B distribution environment.
• Experience coordinating multi-supplier or multi-brand promotions and translating supplier programs into seller-facing tools is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of the promotional products industry, supplier economics, and margin levers (e.g., rebates, setup fees, freight, decoration) and how they connect to HALO’s Supplier Optimization initiatives.
• Proven project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent promotions, stakeholders, and deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Marketing, Merchandising, Supplier Relations, Seller Solutions, Operations, Finance, and IT in a matrixed organization.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex supplier/category offerings into clear AE- and client-ready value propositions.
• Comfortable using data and reporting (Excel and related tools) to evaluate promotion performance, profitability, and supplier impact.
• High attention to detail, excellent organization and time management, and the ability to adapt to changing priorities and short deadlines in a growth-focused environment.
• Team-oriented, flexible, and proactive; able to influence without direct authority and advocate for both supplier and seller needs while maintaining HALO’s strategic priorities.
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Supply Chain, Merchandising, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
