• Manage day-to-day retail media partnerships and networks including Target Roundel and Walmart Connect, planning, activating, and optimizing campaigns across upper- and lower-funnel tactics (onsite, offsite, search, and display).
• Build and run shopper marketing plans for multiple product and retailer launches at once, adjusting tactics in real time.
• Own point-of-purchase (POP) and in-store activation end to end, including creative development, third-party production partners, budget, and execution at shelf.

• Strong understanding of retail media and full-funnel (upper- and lower-funnel) tactics, with the ability to discuss them confidently with retail partners.
• Experience with mass and conventional retailers (e.g., Target, Walmart, Meijer, etc.), and comfort navigating retailer portals and data. Hands-on experience with Walmart Connect and Target Roundel is required.
• Track record of executing in-store/POP programs and product launches, including managing budgets and outside partners.
• Strong commercial acumen, polished communication and presentation skills, and the ability to connect shopper activations to business outcomes.
