HybridBusiness DevelopmentFull-time

Who You Will Be Working With

We are PMG, a global independent marketing services and technology company that seeks to inspire people and brands that anything is possible. Our team comprises over 900 employees globally, and our work for ambitious brands like Apple, Nike, Sephora, Experian, Therabody, Best Western Hotels & Resorts, Creed Fragrances, BNY, Intuit, CKE Restaurants, Travelex, and Whole Foods spans 85+ countries.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Lead PMG’s strategic vision for integrated commerce across, shaping how the capability is positioned, delivered, and evolved for enterprise clients.

  • Act as a senior, client-facing commerce partner - engaging directly with clients to diagnose commercial challenges, co-create growth strategies, and guide decision-making.

  • Shape commerce strategies that connect integrated communications, media investment, customer experience, and performance outcomes across the full funnel.

  • Drive omni-channel commerce strategies, including listings, promotion, and media approaches, ensuring product visibility, offers, and investment work together to deliver full-funnel performance goals.

  • Ensure commerce thinking is embedded upstream in planning - so brand, media, and creative strategies are designed with downstream purchase behavior and growth in mind.

  • Champion experimentation and innovation as a differentiator - driving test-and-learn approaches through automation, PDP testing models, campaign experimentation, and scalable learning agendas.

  • Use experimentation not only to optimize performance, but to help clients move faster, learn more effectively, and build confidence in new approaches.

  • Partner closely with Integrated Communications Planning, Converged Media, Analytics, and Transformation leaders to ensure commerce strategies are integrated, measurable, and executable.

  • Guide the use of data, technology, and platforms - including Alli - to inform commerce decision-making, scenario planning, forecasting, optimization, and performance measurement.

  • Act as a visible point of view leader on commerce trends, platforms, and models, including DTC, marketplaces, retail media, and emerging commerce experiences.

  • Play an active role in business development and growth, partnering with leadership and client teams to shape propositions, contribute to pitches, and engage confidently with prospective clients.

  • Bring credibility, clarity, and energy to new business conversations - helping potential clients understand how PMG can drive commercial impact through integrated commerce.

  • Identify opportunities to expand and deepen existing client partnerships through commerce-led innovation and growth thinking.

  • Influence organizational commerce capability by collaborating with executive leaders across Media, Technology, Analytics, and Strategy.

  • Establish best practices, frameworks, and learning agendas that build commerce capability across teams without creating silos.

  • Identify, develop, and mentor future commerce leaders across operations, media, and strategy teams, strengthening long-term capability.

What You Will Bring

  • Extensive experience in commerce, growth strategy, or performance-led roles, with a strong track record of working directly with clients to drive revenue and growth.

  • Confidence and credibility in senior client and prospective client environments, with a clear ability to lead commercial conversations and influence decisions.

  • A genuine passion for working with clients - enjoying collaboration, problem-solving, and building long-term partnerships.

  • Strong strategic acumen, with experience shaping commerce strategies rather than only executing within them.

  • Deep understanding of commerce mechanics, including product discovery, listings, promotions, media, conversion optimization, and experimentation.

  • Experience using data, analytics, AI, and technology to drive experimentation, learning, and performance improvement.

  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping new capabilities, roles, and ways of working as they evolve.

  • Ability to operate through influence rather than hierarchy, aligning diverse teams around shared goals and standards.

  • Strong storytelling and communication skills, particularly in client-facing, leadership, and new business settings.

  • A growth-oriented mindset, motivated by unlocking opportunity for clients and for PMG.

  • Curiosity and adaptability as a Continual Learner, staying ahead of evolving commerce platforms, behaviors, and technologies.

  • A Customer-Focused approach, grounded in helping clients succeed commercially through practical, insight-led solutions.
