About us:

Ascendant (ascendantbrands.com) is a team of professionals with expertise in managing every aspect of a consumer product business. We acquire segment-leading brands with strong intellectual property assets and reposition them for growth in both direct-to-consumer (Amazon, Shopify) and retail channels.

Ascendant was founded by longtime Amazon business operators. We know the U.S.’s leading marketplace channel well and have great partners who help us manage it, specifically Amazon’s ad programs. We’re seeking a digital advertising expert to help us transition to fully managing this ad spend in-house. Our ambition is also to become more independent in setting the strategy for and managing our search and social ad spend. If you thrive on taking on a well-defined, high-stakes mission and are passionate about ecommerce and marketing, join us and lead the way in managing and optimizing a seven-figure annual ad spend.

What we’re looking for:

• A passionate marketer and operations manager pursuing a career at the intersection of digital advertising and ecommerce. 
• A reliable and resourceful problem-solver who anticipates a business’ challenges and works diligently to address them. 
• An avid trial-and-error researcher who uses experimentation and iteration to optimize product merchandising, digital marketing and shopper engagement. 
• Commitment to implementing technology tools to progressively automate business processes. 

What we expect:

• 2+ years of work experience in ecommerce with demonstrated capabilities in digital advertising management, primarily with Amazon’s ad programs, secondarily with search and social ad platforms. 
• Either experience with Amazon Seller Central and FBA operations management, Shopify channel development operations or both. 
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline or the equivalent combination of education and experience. 
• Willingness to travel 5-6 times per year. 

Compensation:

• $55,000 - $100,000+ budgeted compensation range, depending on experience + incentive bonus
• 10 days paid vacation + 10 paid company days off + 8 paid holidays
• Group health insurance plan; dental and vision plans available
• 401(k) plan with company matching
• Other benefits / rewards: ascendantbrands.com/rewards
• Remote contributor-supportive culture
• A collegial work environment with a variety of leaders and peers to learn from

Location: Anywhere in the U.S. or on-site at our offices in northern Utah.

Inclusivity: Ascendant is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment.
