Key Responsibilities
- Channel Programs, Customer & Commercial Execution
- Manage channel programs including rebates, stocking programs, marketing funds, promotions, SPIFFs, end-user incentives, MAP policy, and related channel investments. Develop program objectives, budgets, timelines, communications, and success measures.
- Lead joint marketing planning and execution for priority customers in collaboration with Key Account Managers and Sales, connecting customer and ESAB priorities across promotions, product launches, eCommerce, merchandising, training, events, and demand generation.
- Build strong relationships with customers, distributors, Sales, and internal stakeholders; proactively resolve issues, maintain accountability for commitments, and serve as a trusted commercial partner to the Sales organization.
- Support the Advantage customer portfolio through scalable programs, communications, tools, and adoption initiatives. Coordinate customer plans across internal teams and external partners.
- Build and manage the annual promotional calendar in partnership with Sales, Product Management, Pricing, Finance, and Marketing.
- Analyze channel, customer, and program performance; provide data-driven recommendations to improve growth, profitability, adoption, and ROI. Maintain consistent and actionable program reporting and stakeholder communication, including proactive risk flagging and escalation with proposed solutions.
- Own channel communications including program announcements, promotional materials, pricing updates, and customer-facing emails in coordination with MarCom and Sales.
- eCommerce, Vendor & Stakeholder Management
- Develop eCommerce growth strategies with distributor partners, Amazon Brand Store, and ESAB's own marketplace to improve assortment, visibility, product content, availability, conversion, and sales. Identify opportunities to grow core and complementary product categories.
- Partner with Product Management, MarCom, and IT to improve digital product content and new-product readiness across priority partner platforms and ESAB’s customer portal.
- Monitor online pricing and administer ESAB's MAP and related channel policies.
- Manage external vendor and partner relationships (program platforms, marketplace partners, agency resources), including scope definition, timeline management, performance expectations, accountability, and reporting.
- Drive cross-functional deliverables through Sales, Product Management, MarCom, Finance, and other teams without positional authority — owning outcomes that depend on stakeholders who do not report to you.
