Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Support day-to-day brand and marketing projects, including marketing copy, presentations, briefs, sales and customer materials, and other client deliverables.
  • Use available data and industry research to build, edit, review and polish clear, focused PowerPoint presentations that tell the right brand story for the client.
  • Use Excel and Google Sheets to organize, maintain and analyze product, project and marketing data, including trackers, timelines and other working documents.
  • Manage timelines, deliverables, follow-ups and cross-functional coordination while supporting product launches, commercialization projects and packaging updates.
  • Conduct competitive, category, customer and consumer research and turn findings into clear, useful and client-ready materials.
  • Participate in client and customer meetings, capture decisions and next steps, and take ownership of follow-through.
  • Accurately track and submit time by client and project, with enough detail to support client billing and internal project management.
  • Use AI and other technology tools thoughtfully, securely and responsibly to improve research, content development, analysis, organization and efficiency - while protecting client confidentiality and validating outputs before use.

Requirements

  • Have professional marketing experience in brand management, CPG marketing, marketing project management, agency, communications, consumer products or a similar hands-on environment.
  • Are a self-starter who can manage your own schedule, priorities and deadlines, take ownership of work and stay accountable for commitments without frequent follow-up.
  • Are strong in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, are comfortable working across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace collaboration tools, and know what polished, professional marketing work looks like.
  • Are detail-oriented, organized and comfortable working through ambiguity, incomplete information and shifting priorities across multiple clients and projects.
  • Communicate confidently and professionally with clients, customers, agencies, vendors and cross-functional partners.
  • Use good judgment with technology and AI tools, including secure handling of client and company information.
  • Enjoy a small-business environment where you can improve processes, build better ways of working and contribute beyond a narrowly defined job description.
  • Take pride in both the interesting work and the repetitive, detail-heavy work that keeps projects moving.
  • Pet industry experience is a plus, but it isn’t required. Experience in CPG, consumer products or a traditional brand-management environment can be equally valuable.
