Associate Brand Manager (Hybrid)

Does the Red Solo Cup sound familiar?

At SOLO, we believe every day is a #SOLObration. We embrace fresh new thinking and like unconventional ideas.  As part of the Consumer Products team, you will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and be challenged.  Joining our team means you will have the opportunity to help grow our branded business by supporting the SOLO brand’s strategic choices, product and commercial innovations, holistic communication plans, and brand execution across all media and consumer touch points.  

You will be a part of a positive dynamic environment with individuals that have a passion for what they do.  We are also a proud member of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) which means you will have access to hundreds of industry-leading events, webinars, training, and committee meetings, plus thousands of insights to help you drive professional and brand growth.

We are looking for a go-getter with three years of CPG brand marketing experience and a passion for brand management - that curious thinker who is intrigued by consumer and shopper behavior. And most importantly, we need a rock star on Nielsen and IRI data platforms. If you have a gift for analyzing data and identifying insights through these data platforms as well as through, financial, consumer, and customer/retailer information and can make recommendations to support business initiatives and/or actionable tasks to drive results, then we would like to hear from you.
