Brand Development & Product Marketing Manager

Full-Time | Exempt

About Quality Choice | CDMA

Quality Choice | CDMA is a privately held wholesaler headquartered in Novi, Michigan, offering more than 1,000 private-label over-the-counter health, beauty, and wellness products under our trademarked Quality Choice brand.

For 100 years, we've partnered with independent retailers, distributors, and regional chains to provide high-quality private-label products that compete with national brands. Our success is built on trusted relationships, innovative products, and helping our customers grow their businesses.

Why This Role Matters

The Brand Development & Product Marketing Manager plays a key role in growing the Quality Choice brand by developing products, strengthening customer partnerships, supporting Sales, and bringing new ideas to market.

This position is responsible for driving product portfolio growth through strategic brand development, merchandising, product positioning, commercialization, and customer marketing initiatives.

You'll partner closely with Sales, Purchasing, suppliers, and Executive Leadership to identify new product opportunities, develop retailer programs, launch products, and create marketing strategies that help our customers succeed.

This is not a traditional marketing position. It's a commercial leadership role focused on helping products, and the customers who sell them grow.

Customer Marketing & Sales Support

• Develop customer-facing marketing programs, merchandising initiatives, promotions, and sales tools that help retailers and distributors grow Quality Choice sales.
• Support trade shows, customer presentations, supplier marketing initiatives, and other programs that strengthen customer relationships and brand visibility.

Marketing & Digital Strategy

• Ensure consistent brand messaging and product presentation across all marketing channels.
• Oversee website content, product information, digital marketing, social media, and eCommerce initiatives.
• Measure campaign effectiveness and use data-driven insights to improve future marketing performance.

Leadership

• Lead and develop the Marketing team, including direct supervision of the Graphic Designer.
• Collaborate with Sales, Purchasing, Customer Service, Operations, and Executive Leadership to support company objectives.
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
