Senior Manager, Retail Marketing

United States

About The Role:

Little Spoon was founded on the belief that today’s parents are different - equal parts more time-strapped and more food-savvy than ever. We set out to disrupt a century-old category with products and an experience that deliver on what the modern parent deserves.

The Senior Manager, Retail Marketing will be responsible for partnering closely with our Chief of Staff (Sales) and cross-functional teams to lead the strategy and execution of our retail marketing programs that are fully integrated with the brand’s 360 marketing strategies.

This is a hands-on, strategic marketing role focused on driving integrated retail programs across channels and teams— starting with Target and expanding into additional accounts. You’ll own go-to-market planning and execution, working with Little Spoon leadership, agencies, and internal teams to deliver high-impact campaigns across launch marketing, shopper media, in-store promotions, and reporting.

You’ll play a key role in building the systems that power Little Spoon’s retail marketing engine, while also rolling up your sleeves to drive day-to-day execution, track performance, and ensure everything runs smoothly, on time, and on brand

What You’ll Do:

Retail Marketing

  • Own and lead all retail marketing and go-to-market workstreams across Target, Amazon and future retail partners (e-commerce + in-store).
  • Build and manage GTM calendars, promotional timelines, and execution plans; align agencies and internal teams and hold stakeholders accountable.
  • Centralize and route retail marketing requests (from promos to in-store marketing), ensuring clarity, speed, and brand alignment.
  • Manage day-to-day agency and platform relationships (shopper, Roundel, TPA, and retail media partners), ensuring all programs launch on schedule and deliver against performance goals (ROAS, CTR, conversion).
  • Develop and manage paid media campaigns end-to-end — from audience segmentation and creative optimization to bid management and campaign trafficking.
  • Identify and address risks or bottlenecks across creative, sales, ops, lifecycle, and tech, with a bias toward proactive solutions.

Executional Leadership

  • Maintain and optimize key tools (dashboards, trackers, calendars) to support visibility and operational excellence.
  • Draft briefs, route decks, and consolidate feedback for shopper and retail media campaigns, ensuring work reflects the brand and business objectives.
  • Partner with cross functional teams and third parties on in-store marketing (sampling, QR codes, signage, co-op programs).
  • Coordinate mid- and upper-funnel marketing (OOH, influencer content, PR events, sampling) that supports retail.
  • Share weekly performance snapshots and campaign dashboards with leadership to drive visibility and agile decision-making.

Performance & Optimization

  • Analyze POS, retail media, and paid campaign performance data (ROAS, CTR, conversion, velocity, household penetration) to identify trends, insights, and optimization opportunities.
  • Build and maintain reporting dashboards and campaign summaries, translating performance data into actionable recommendations for continuous improvement.
  • Test and iterate on campaign formats, targeting strategies, and creative messaging to improve efficiency and impact.
  • Manage retail marketing budget trackers; monitor spend and flag reallocation opportunities based on performance.
  • Translate learnings into a Retail GTM Playbook— codifying best practices, timelines, and tools.
  • Continuously improve marketing systems and workflows, strengthening executional discipline while unlocking time for strategic thinking.
  • Partner closely with the DTC Marketing team to share learnings, insights, and opportunities - ensuring retail and DTC strategies inform and strengthen one another.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Proven ability to lead retail marketing programs from concept through execution while staying hands-on with trackers, briefs, and budgets.
  • Strong grasp of paid media performance, including campaign optimization, reporting, and analysis across retail media platforms (e.g., Roundel)
  • Deep organizational and coordination skills; thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
  • Strong communicator and relationship-builder across leadership, agencies, and field teams.
  • Data-driven; confident pulling reports, analyzing velocity, and using insights to guide decisions.
  • Proactive, resourceful, and solution-oriented with a bias toward execution.

What You’ll Need:

  • 5-7 years of experience in retail marketing; CPG and omni-channel brand or agency experience a strong plus.
  • Comfortable working independently, collaboratively, and communicating regularly with remote team members.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.
  • NYC Metro Area (preferred); hybrid work style with in-office collaboration.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
