Senior Retail Marketing & Retail Partnerships Manager

Overview The Senior Manager, Retail Marketing & Retail Partnerships owns retail marketing end to end across Tonal's owned and operated stores and our retail partner locations — a footprint of roughly 130 doors. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Retail, this role is the bridge between Tonal's brand vision and the retail floor experience. This is a build role. Corporate and field communications do not exist as a program today, and this person will create them: the cadence, the channels, and the content that keep every team selling Tonal aligned. Alongside that, they will own the retail marketing calendar and channel plan, the in-store experience, and the corporate-level relationship with our retail partners. If you want to own a function rather than run a calendar, this is that role.
