  • Develop and execute Promotional Programs aligned with marketing campaigns, retail priorities, and seasonal plans.
  • Oversee program budgets, forecasting, and reporting to ensure efficient use of resources.
  • Ongoing direct cross-functional alignment across all internal teams including Retail, Marketing, Creative, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and field teams to ensure program success.
  • Define program KPIs, track performance to ensure we are meeting our goals, and use data to identify trends and deliver insights that inform strategic decision-making.
  • Champion Brooks values in every program touchpoint to strengthen brand loyalty and partner relationships.
  • Innovate new processes and tools that improve program visibility, consistency, and retailer engagement.
  • Build strong internal and external relationships to support planning, execution, and continuous improvement.
