What You’ll Do
As Brand Manager, you’ll own and drive the U.S. brand strategy for the brand—an established, premium canned seafood brand—during a critical growth phase. You’ll work cross-functionally and globally to accelerate market penetration, build consumer awareness, and strengthen retail presence.
Key responsibilities:

- Proven success in managing digital campaigns, media spend, shopper marketing, and customer support
- Experience driving brand growth across multiple retail channels (Amazon grocery)
- Strong stakeholder management skills, especially with cross-functional and international teams
