[Hiring] Director of Demand Generation @Toolio

At Toolio, we’re on a mission to help retailers navigate the complex, competitive and ever-changing retail landscape so they can deliver what their customers want, when and where they want it. Merchandise planning is a key retail discipline that has been dominated by manual, error prone spreadsheets, and accurate inventory planning has never been more important. Toolio’s cloud-based merchandise planning platform was built to help the next-generation of retailers automate critical workflows, gain real-time insights, and make faster, data-driven merchandising decisions. Toolio is trusted by leading brands including Bombas, Rothy’s, Skims and Huckberry.

The Director of Demand Generation will be a key part of our GTM team and our growth efforts, owning the demand generation program within marketing and working closely with Sales, RevOps, and Product. This role demands a balance of strategic leadership and hands-on execution, making it an excellent opportunity for a data-driven, results-oriented marketer.

Toolio is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and offices in Turkey backed by top VCs and apparel industry executives. Toolio was founded in 2019 by Eytan Daniyalzade and Berk Atikoglu, serial entrepreneurs who have worked together for more than 10 years. Their previous company, Stylr, was acquired by Walmart Labs in 2014. At Walmart, they lead teams that delivered various groundbreaking products like Sam’s Club Scan & Go and Walmart Pay which reach millions of users and process billions of dollars each year. While at Walmart they got to see that the tools used by planners and merchants were years behind the technology they had built for consumers. So they set out on a mission to change this by building a modern merchandising platform, Toolio.

Toolio is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
