Business Management
United States
Hiring from: United States
Position Summary
The Sr. Director of eCommerce is the commercial owner of Proximo’s digital point-of-sale and the architect of our “Strategy to Win” in eCommerce within the three-tier system. Embedded in the US Commercial Sales organization, this leader builds a best-in-class team and capabilities to grow brand equity, distribution, and share in a rapidly expanding, under-penetrated channel. The role provides thought leadership with our distributors & sales organization and anchors deep, account-level execution across digital marketplaces and retailer.com by connecting marketing, media and content to commercial realities.
This leader sets the eCommerce vision and roadmap across B2B and B2C. Within B2B, the role co-plans with priority distributor partners (e.g., SGWS, RNDC, Johnson Brothers, Empire, Breakthru, Provi, and others) to build digital penetration, share of house, and ePODs. Within B2C, this leader will scale performance across digital marketplaces such as DoorDash, UberEats, and Instacart as well as lead relationships with retailer digital teams (e.g., Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Albertsons, Total Wine, ABC) to secure visibility at the digital shelf and drive conversion.
While eCommerce is an inherently cross-functional sport, this role keeps accountability close to the point of sale by sitting in Sales and partnering tightly with Marketing and agency & distributor partners on conversion-oriented media, creative, and measurement. Together, they align portfolio priorities with brand leadership, deploy retail media close to POS, and deliver a unified learning agenda and scorecard that ties investment to revenue, share, and ROI across the distributor network and key national accounts.
Success in this role will be tied to not only eCommerce performance, but developing a digital roadmap, training, education, and resources that enables Proximo to succeed in an ever-changing digital world.
