Position Summary:
The Senior Manager, Integrated Marketing is responsible for turning Milo’s brand and portfolio strategy into cohesive, scalable go-to-market execution. This role ensures that consumer insight, brand strategy, media, creative, and activation operate as one integrated system, rather than a set of disconnected efforts.
As Milo’s continues to scale in an increasingly fragmented media and retail environment, this role brings clarity, cohesion, and pace to how marketing shows up in-market. The Integrated Marketing leader partners closely with Brand Growth, Creative, Brand Communications, Shopper Marketing, and agency teams to shape campaign architecture early, modernize activation approaches, and build repeatable systems that translate strong ideas into consistent business impact across paid, owned, earned, and experiential channels.

- Agency & Internal Leadership: Serves as the day-to-day strategic lead for integrated agency partners and the internal Integrated Marketing pod, driving clarity, accountability, and seamless collaboration across Creative Services, Brand Communications, Activation, and agency teams.
- Modernization of Activation & Advocacy: Evolves sampling, experiential, and advocacy programs in partnership with Social, Influencer, and Omni-Commerce Shopper teams—integrating content, media, retail touchpoints, and in-person experiences into more effective activation models.
- Learning, Measurement & Optimization: Establishes a disciplined test-and-learn agenda across channels and activation types, translating results into insights that improve effectiveness, strengthen ROI visibility, and inform future planning.
- Team Leadership & Capability Building: Coaches and develops team members toward more proactive, system-oriented ways of working—shifting from reactive execution to scalable, repeatable activation excellence.
