  • Improve website conversion rate through landing pages, product pages, merchandising, offers, navigation, trust signals, and checkout analysis
  • Build weekly and monthly reporting that explains what happened, why it happened, and what we are doing next
  • Develop marketing campaigns around holidays, gifting, sports, seasonal occasions, new product drops, bundles, and offers
  • Keep marketing premium, responsible, compliant, and appropriate for the alcohol industry

Ideal Candidate

  • Hands-on marketing leader who can create the strategy and execute the work
  • Strong ecommerce background, especially with physical products
