This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Spearhead the demand generation insights strategy for Seventh Generation.

• Oversee the Consumer and Market Insights (CMI) agenda for demand generation within home care, including communications development and testing, audience targeting, social-first creative quality, and market impact measurement (e.g., Brand Lift), collaborating with media and creative agencies.

• Lead the Social-First Demand Generation strategy for HCNA, encompassing social listening, creative quality diagnostics, and impact measurement across digital, social, and point-of-sale materials.

• Manage and analyze social listening outputs; stay updated on emerging trends, expanding markets, and cultural signals that drive demand for home care.

• Develop multi-phase consumer learning plans: articulate business questions, set clear objectives, brief suppliers, manage scope, timing, and costs, and present findings to senior partners.

• Conduct custom qualitative and quantitative research (with or without agency assistance) and perform desk research using available resources to address demand, retailer dynamics, pricing, and competitive trends.

• Lead market tracking and optimization for HCNA initiatives with media agencies—determine what was successful and what wasn’t, and integrate learnings into subsequent efforts.

• Assess the overall impact of marketing investments through Rapid ROI, brand health tracking, and in-flight diagnostics (e.g., Brand Lift).

• Evaluate in-market performance data (scanning and panel), including sales, purchase panels, pricing, distribution, and retailer performance to guide decision-making.

• Integrate diverse data sources into cohesive, compelling narratives that influence decisions and facilitate growth.

• Act as a CMI Future Shaper—striking a balance between effective use of AI-enabled tools and deep consumer understanding for home care consumers and Seventh Generation shoppers.

• Collaborate closely with Marketing (media & communications), media and creative agencies, and research partners.

• Build trust, express viewpoints confidently, and function as a proactive business partner rather than merely an order-taker.

• Provide ad hoc assistance on requests from the Global Home Care team related to the US market and The Laundress brand as needed (accounting for less than 5% of the scope).
