Impact Beverage

Position Summary...What you'll do...Sam’s Club MAP is redefining retail media by leveraging first-party membership data to create measurable growth for our supplier partners. As Senior Manager, Advertising Sales – Beverage Team Lead, you’ll lead the strategic vision and revenue growth across a portfolio of high-impact beverage accounts. This is more than managing campaigns — you will shape category-level advertising strategy, build executive-level partnerships, and lead a high-performing team of three sellers to deliver sustained revenue growth. You’ll operate at the intersection of advertising, merchandising, analytics, and supplier strategy — thinking two steps ahead to anticipate challenges and unlock new opportunities. Success in this role means driving meaningful beverage revenue growth, strengthening cross-functional alignment, and building a resilient, forward-thinking team that thrives in a fast-moving environment. What You’ll Do Drive Beverage Revenue Growth

• Develop and execute a forward-looking sales strategy that expands MAP’s beverage advertising revenue year over year.
• Identify whitespace opportunities across brands, innovation launches, and seasonal programs.
• Build multi-quarter account plans that align supplier investment with Sam’s Club business priorities.

Lead Executive-Level Partnerships

• Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders within beverage supplier organizations.
• Negotiate complex, high-value advertising agreements that create mutual growth.
• Influence decision-makers by translating data into compelling, category-level business cases.

Own Forecasting & Performance Management

• Lead pipeline strategy, forecasting accuracy, and revenue pacing for the beverage portfolio.
• Proactively identify risks and course-correct before gaps impact results.
• Leverage analytics and first-party data to continuously optimize performance.

Partner Cross-Functionally

• Work closely with merchandising partners to align advertising strategy with category priorities.
• Collaborate with internal MAP teams to ensure seamless campaign execution and innovation.
• Anticipate operational friction points and solve them before they escalate.

Build & Lead a High-Performance Team

• Coach and develop a team of three sales professionals, elevating their strategic thinking and executive presence.
• Foster a positive, solutions-oriented environment — especially when navigating high-pressure moments.
• Model resilience, professionalism, and accountability in complex situations.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven success leading advertising or retail media marketing or sales within CPG companies or retail media networks — ideally in beverage or adjacent categories.
• Proven success using AI to accelerate analysis, automate and accomplish goals with speed and accuracy.
• A track record of growing revenue through strategic planning, not just transactional selling.
• Executive presence with the ability to influence both supplier leadership and internal partners.
• Strong business acumen — you can translate data, trends, and financial metrics into actionable growth strategies.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing sales teams.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to remain steady and solutions-focused when challenges arise.
• A proactive mindset — you don’t just react to the business, you anticipate it.
