Your ability to define and execute account plans has led to unlocking investments and improving key performance metrics for your clients.

You are a strategic thinker who thrives in a fast-paced environment — you understand the nuances of eCommerce partnerships and can navigate complex negotiations to secure optimal deal terms. Your communication skills are top-notch, allowing you to effectively pitch new partnerships and onboard strategic retailers with ease.

You are data-driven and analytical — you monitor performance metrics closely and provide actionable insights to improve BrandSolutions opportunities. Your experience with affiliate marketing and paid search integration has equipped you with the skills to develop a robust sales pipeline.
