The Role

The Senior Director Brand Marketing is a senior commercial leader who owns the brand and P&L strategy for two of Metagenics portfolios — Gut Health and Bariatric Advantage — while partnering closely with the VP of Marketing to shape and drive the commercial and strategic agenda for the total Metagenics Americas business.

This is a high-scope, high-trust role for someone who moves fluidly between enterprise strategy and hands-on execution. You will set the brand and portfolio strategy for your categories and act as a force multiplier across the wider organization: driving the integrated marketing calendar, leading enterprise commercial initiatives (e.g. annual operating planning, pricing, and revenue growth management), and raising the bar on process, governance, and ways of working. You will operate as a trusted thought partner to marketing leadership — with the judgment and credibility to represent the function in the most senior forums.

We are building toward a digitally led, marketplace-first future. The ideal candidate has scaled smaller, digitally native brands where DTC and digital marketplaces are the engine of growth, and pairs that with the rigor and foundations of a larger, established consumer health organization.

Total-Metagenics Brand & Portfolio Strategy. Process, Governance & Ways of Working

• Hold the line. Hold others accountable to commitments and standards while bringing people along — building trust and momentum rather than friction.
• Operate at both altitudes: shaping board-level strategy one moment and building the model, the deck, or the brief yourself the next. No task is too senior or too hands-on.
