Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define Flamingo's mid- and long-term brand strategy, positioning, and competitive advantage, setting a clear point of view on where the category is going and leading us there
  • Partner with the CMO on the 3–5 year growth roadmap, translating ambition into focused strategic priorities and bold growth platforms
  • Turn consumer insights, data, and competitive intelligence into decisive action
  • Own revenue, share, profitability, and brand contribution. Operate as the true business leader of the brand
  • Lead annual and multi-year planning across the full funnel, focusing teams on the few initiatives that will disproportionately drive impact
  • Allocate marketing investment with discipline and creativity, balancing performance and long-term brand building
  • Anticipate risks, unlock opportunities, and make smart, data-informed pivots
  • Shape portfolio and innovation strategy to keep the brand ahead of consumer needs and competitive pressure
  • Drive end-to-end commercialization, ensuring innovation launches are strategically sound and flawlessly executed
  • Orchestrate cohesive omnichannel execution across DTC, Retail, Amazon, Creative, Growth, and Brand Comms

Requirements

  • 10+ years in brand management within consumer products, with strong CPG grounding; personal care/beauty/lifestyle experience preferred
  • Proven business leader with experience owning a P&L, category, or brand portfolio
  • Strategic and commercially rigorous, with the creativity and conviction to build differentiated brand platforms - not just optimize what already exists
  • Equally fluent in data and storytelling. You can dissect a P&L in the morning and shape a brand narrative in the afternoon
  • Experienced defining category strategy and innovation pipelines that anticipate where the market is going, not simply respond to it
  • Deep omnichannel expertise across Retail, DTC, and Amazon, with a strong understanding of how brand and commercial channels work together
  • Exceptional cross-functional leader who can align teams around a clear vision and inspire belief at all levels, including the C-suite
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity at pace, setting long-term strategy while driving execution and solving real-time challenges

  • Organized, accountable, and relentless in delivering meaningful business impact

  • Brand training (CPG/personal care a plus)
