Senior Integrated Marketing Manager (Contract)

Job Description

Job Description

Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed. Tens of thousands of Mill's residential food recyclers are already helping households divert millions of pounds of food scraps every year, paving the way for our upcoming launch of Mill Commercial—the industry's first end-to-end solution for managing, understanding, and preventing food waste in commercial environments (e.g. grocery, restaurants, food services). At Mill, we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.

This is a contract Marketing Manager role covering three concurrent workstreams: Mill's first national retail pilot, holiday campaign execution, and marketing partnerships. To be successful in this role, you'll manage complex cross-functional programs, build clear creative and strategic briefs, bring a working knowledge of the retail landscape and negotiate and manage partnerships.

• Serve as the connective tissue between Mill and the retailer's merchant/buyer team on marketing workstreams (distinct from the sales/BD relationship).
• Continue executing program marketing in support of pilot and holiday. 
• Lead Assisted Selling and Store Engagement programs, training and supporting staff and translating learnings to other workstreams.
• Plan and manage paid media on the retailer's own ad platform, and report on performance.

• Support holiday campaign execution from Cyber Week through New Year's Eve.
• Partner with channel leads (paid, social, email, product) to ensure creative deliverables are completed and campaign is launched seamlessly.
• Keep the campaign on track and on budget, managing stakeholders to timely delivery.

• Manage and help execute partnerships, including commitments with our existing community of Influencers, brand partnerships and community partners. 

• A Retail Marketing Operator: You've run physical in-store activation before, including display/POS production and navigating retailer merchandising constraints.
• Comfortable in Ambiguity: You build process while executing against fixed external deadlines, and don't need a complete playbook to start.
• A Data-Backed Storyteller: You can report on the details and understand the story for an exec audience. 
• A Cross-Functional Operator: You coordinate programs across diverse teams.
• AI-enabled Approach: You err on the side of applying AI to help scale your workflows with increasing speed and efficiency.

• 10+ years in marketing, with direct experience in retail, channel, or shopper marketing.
• Has managed retail media campaigns on at least one major platform (Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, Instacart Ads, or similar).
• Has managed external agency/vendor relationships and can write a clear creative or production brief.
• Partnership or influencer marketing experience, from sourcing through measurement.
• A plus, not a requirement: experience with a new-to-market or new-category product.

• Contract Duration: 6+ months
• Location: San Bruno, CA (in-office most days)
• Commitment: Full-time contractor 
• Reports to: GM, Consumer
