• Sales Strategy: Assist in building and refining sales strategies to maximize vendor engagement and drive successful outcomes.
• Campaign Support: Collaborate with Account Leads and campaign management teams to ensure effective communication and the successful execution of vendor marketing strategies within REI campaigns.
• Sales Enablement Programs: Help design and implement sales enablement programs and resources that empower the sales team, ensuring they have the tools and content needed throughout the sales cycle.

• Feedback & Optimization: Continuously gather feedback from stakeholders and analyze performance data to optimize sales processes, programs, and materials.

Key Requirements:

• Experience: 3-4+ years of experience in sales, content marketing, or campaign management, ideally within retail media, retailer monetization programs, or agency environments.

What Makes This Role Exciting:

• Growth Opportunity: This is a rare opportunity to be part of building a retail media network from the ground up. The team currently lacks sales collateral, so you'll play a pivotal role in creating everything needed to support sales success.

• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a dynamic team of Account Leads, Sales, and Marketing professionals to shape the future of REI's vendor relationships and marketing strategy.
