Director of eCommerce & Growth

Build the DTC growth engine for Protein Candy and Pulp & Press
We're looking for the person who turns our brands into a growth engine online: our Shopify sites, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and whatever channel comes next. You'll set the DTC strategy, own the P&L, and decide where the next dollar of growth comes from.
Protein Candy is redefining the $40B candy category with functional, better-for-you products. Since launching in mid-2024, we've grown into 4,000+ retail doors, including Kroger, Walmart Canada, and Circle K, with thousands more coming online by the end of the year.
Pulp & Press is a legacy cold-pressed juice brand being reinvented. You'll build its direct and marketplace business alongside Protein Candy.
The Role
This is a commercial leadership role with an operator's hands. You'll own DTC revenue and the P&L for both brands, run our Shopify sites and marketplace business, steer our agency partners, and build the team as we scale.
As part of our Marketing team, you'll work closely with our leadership team and with partners across retail, operations, lifecycle, and social. If you can read a P&L and a conversion funnel with equal ease, love finding growth others miss, and know when to say no to a shiny new channel, this is your role.

2. Drive growth marketing and experimentation

6. Manage agency partnerships

Set clear strategy, scopes, KPIs, and fees for paid media, marketplace, and site agency partners

Work with Logistics, Supply Chain, Customer Care, and Operations on channel readiness, inventory availability, service levels, and key initiatives
