Senior Manager, Strategic Insights

Seattle
Stackline is the first full-funnel connected commerce platform for the world's most innovative brands. Business leaders, product innovators, performance marketers, and analysts trust Stackline as the single source of commerce truth. Fueled by our proprietary neural network, our market insights, revenue metrics, behavior analyses, and autonomous functionality create the actions that determine success or failure.
 
Founded in 2014 in Seattle, we have offices in Minneapolis, New York, Salt Lake City, and London. Since November 2020, Stackline has raised $180 million in strategic investments from Goldman Sachs Growth Equity and TA Associates.
 
Stackline is on a mission to fuel the future of commerce by bringing brands and customers closer together.
 

About The Role:

The way consumers discover and buy products is being rewritten — and Stackline sits at the center of that shift. As a Senior Manager on the Strategic Insights team, you'll be a trusted advisor to some of the world's most recognized brands, helping them navigate a rapidly evolving landscape where AI-powered shopping agents, digital shelf dynamics, and real-time data are reshaping how purchase decisions get made.

You’ll independently lead complex, end-to-end consulting engagements for some of the world’s largest enterprise brands — combining Stackline’s proprietary datasets with a powerful suite of AI tools to uncover growth opportunities, build compelling narratives, and deliver recommendations that move the needle. This isn’t a back-office analytics role — you’ll be the primary strategic advisor for your clients, owning the relationship from scoping through delivery, and helping shape how the team operates and evolves. If you’re someone who thrives in high-stakes client conversations as much as in spreadsheets, and who gets genuinely excited about what AI is doing to commerce, this role was built for you.

This is a hybrid role (4 days/week in office) at our office located in Downtown Seattle.

 

What You Will Do:

Client Relationships & Communication

  • Own and grow consulting relationships with a portfolio of leading global brands, serving as their strategic advisor
  • Lead client calls with confidence — synthesizing performance trends, aligning on priorities, and proactively bringing new ideas to the table
  • Translate complex datasets and analyses into polished, persuasive narratives for executive and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Build and deliver high-quality client-facing materials — presentations, performance recaps, one-pagers, and strategic frameworks — that make data feel urgent and actionable

Ecommerce Strategy & AI Shopping

  • Conduct deep market, category, and competitor analyses to sharpen clients' ecommerce strategies and keep them ahead of fast-moving trends
  • Advise clients on how to win across both the traditional digital shelf and the emerging agentic shelf — where AI assistants like Amazon Rufus, ChatGPT Shopping, and Perplexity are increasingly driving purchase decisions
  • Identify optimization opportunities across AI shopping visibility, content, pricing, promotions, and advertising — and connect those levers to measurable business outcomes

AI-Powered Analysis & Insight

  • Work inside a robust stack of AI tools — including Stackline's proprietary AI Visibility and Advisor platforms — to accelerate research, surface insights faster, and produce higher-quality deliverables in less time
  • Use AI to streamline recurring workflows: automated reporting, trend detection, content audits, and more
  • Identify opportunities to scale or automate existing service offerings, contributing to how the team evolves its delivery model
  • Generate performance reports and forecasts that connect historical data to forward-looking strategic recommendations
  • Mentor and provide guidance to junior team members, helping elevate the quality and consistency of the team’s client deliverables

Who We Are Looking For:

Must-Haves

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, the Liberal Arts, or a related field
  • 6+ years of experience in ecommerce, retail analytics, consulting, or a client-facing analytics role — with a demonstrated track record of independently owning complex client engagements
  • Exceptional communication skills — written, verbal, and visual — with a demonstrated ability to build trust with clients and stakeholders
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; you know how to make data compelling, not just accurate
  • Proven ability to synthesize large, complex datasets into clear, confident recommendations
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar) as a genuine accelerant to your work
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple client workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball
  • Experience manipulating large datasets with SQL or comparable querying tools
  • You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and have innate curiosity

Bonus Points if you have

  • MBA or other advanced degree
  • Familiarity with AI shopping surfaces — Amazon Rufus, ChatGPT Shopping, Google AI Overviews, or similar
  • Background in retail, CPG, digital advertising, or startup environments

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
