HARRY'S COMMENTS: We are working with a $200M division of a $4B publicly traded manufacturer of premium outdoor cooking equipment in their search for a Director of Ecommerce. This southeast-based company is a proven category leader with a portfolio of market-defining brands.

The firm designs and delivers products that combine craftsmanship, innovation, and digital connectivity—transforming how consumers experience charcoal grilling and outdoor entertaining. Its brands are household names among enthusiasts, with reputations built on performance, durability, and award-winning design.

In recent years, the client has pioneered connected ceramic grills and digital charcoal systems that bring precision and ease to a category long defined by guesswork. Their products win both consumer loyalty and industry recognition, with recent launches earning national media attention, top-tier awards, and placement at major omnichannel retailers.

This is a business where ecommerce already contributes a significant share of revenue, and leadership is committed to making it an even stronger growth engine. The infrastructure is in place: a capable in-house marketing team, strong operations, and supportive executive leadership. What’s needed now is a leader who can align channels, optimize profitability, and extend best-in-class execution across geographies.

For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to own and scale a major ecommerce P&L inside a well-capitalized public company—without the bureaucracy that slows many large organizations. You’ll have the mandate, resources, and visibility to shape the next chapter of growth for some of the most respected brands in outdoor cooking.

This is a high-impact leadership role for a proven ecommerce operator who can own and scale a $70M omnichannel ecommerce business inside a $200M division. This is a key role for the company.

Reporting directly to the President and working closely with senior leadership, you will be the point person for driving profitable growth across Amazon (1P and 3P), HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Walmart.com, key dealer sites, and international marketplaces in the UK, Germany, and Canada.

You will be accountable for both top-line growth and profit discipline. That means building a multi-year roadmap while delivering near-term channel performance—aligning promotions, pricing, and retail media investments to EBITDA goals.

You will inherit a capable direct report and have latitude to shape the team, but this is not a role for someone who leads from a distance. Management has stressed the need for a hands-on leader who can coach, develop, and uplevel the team’s omnichannel execution.

A major priority will be channel integration and content excellence. You’ll work with national account sales leads to extend the in-store experience online, ensure product content and digital shelves are competitive, and manage promotional calendars that drive sell-through without eroding margins.

On Amazon, you will oversee AVS relationships, negotiate AVN terms, and direct retail media strategies—knowing when to escalate, when to swap out underperforming support, and how to measure ROI rigorously.

International growth is on the table, starting with standing up dropship in the UK and optimizing channel strategy in Europe and Canada. Success will require cross-functional influence, from supply chain to marketing, and the ability to translate channel needs into actionable priorities for other departments.

This role is ideal for someone who has run a complex, multi-platform ecommerce P&L, thrives in a hybrid environment, and wants the mandate, resources, and visibility to shape a category leader’s next phase of growth.

I spent a ton of time on the phone with the client teasing out exactly what you’ll need to KNOW and DO to hit the ground running in this role.
