Product Marketing Manager (Proprietary Brands)

Remote (U.S.) $120,000-$140,000 Base + Bonus

Our client, a rapidly growing private equity-backed animal health platform, is seeking a Product Marketing Manager to own and accelerate growth across a portfolio of proprietary brands. This is not a traditional corporate marketing role. We are looking for a builder, someone who can create the strategy, challenge assumptions with data, and personally execute against the plan. You’ll have broad ownership across brand strategy, digital marketing, retail expansion, pricing, channel management, trade shows, and demand generation.

Most importantly, you’ll play a key role in driving growth for the company’s highest-margin and fastest-growing business segment.
