Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve a comprehensive full-funnel digital marketing strategy across paid search, paid social, programmatic/display, online video, and emerging channels to drive omni-channel traffic and sales, with brick and mortar being the priority.
  • Lead end-to-end campaign planning and execution with agency, translating business goals into channel strategies, briefs, targeting approaches, and measurement plans in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Ensure consistent, on-brand creative and messaging across digital touchpoints, including paid media, website modules/banners, email, and SMS by partnering with Creative, Brand, Ecommerce, and Lifecycle teams.

  • Develop and manage budgets, forecasts, and pacing across channels; identify opportunities to reallocate spend to maximize ROI and incremental impact.
  • Establish and run a test-and-learn roadmap (audiences, creative, offers, landing experiences, and new platform betas) with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and post-test learnings.
  • Own performance reporting and insights (daily/weekly/monthly) for senior leadership; connect media results to in-store and onsite behavior and conversion drivers and recommend actions to improve outcomes.
  • Partner with internal teams to stay ahead of planning, participating in quarterly/monthly road mapping, key moments planning, and promotional calendars to ensure media and creative readiness.
  • Monitor industry trends, competitive landscape, and platform changes to inform strategy and identify growth opportunities (e.g., SEO/onsite learnings, shopping/booking flows, and customer journey improvements).

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 7+ years of experience in performance/digital marketing with hands-on ownership of multi-channel media programs; retail/apparel/omni-channel experience strongly preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience working with ecommerce teams and/or within an agency environment; strong understanding of onsite merchandising, landing page optimization, and customer journey.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead agency and vendor partnerships, setting strategy, providing clear direction, holding partners accountable, and driving measurable results.
  • Proven strength in creative operations: briefing, trafficking/asset management, stakeholder alignment, and ensuring consistent creative across paid media, website, email, and SMS.
  • Strong analytical and measurement expertise, including KPI definition, attribution concepts, and performance reporting; experience with Google Analytics (GA4) and/or similar analytics platforms.
  • Exceptional project management and communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
