We are looking for an Assistant Brand Manager (Pro and Commercial) to join our Brand Marketing team at The Scotts Miracle-Gro world headquarters in Marysville, Ohio (Columbus region).
As the Assistant Brand Manager – Pro and Commercial , you will help lead the strategic expansion and commercial execution of our dedicated professional initiatives, bridging commercial B2B channel distribution with modern CPG brand marketing. In this role, you will operate as an associate general manager of the business, driving cross-functional alignment to serve commercial landscape contractors, "mow & blow" operators, and retail/distribution networks. Concurrently, you will leverage ScottsMiracle-Gro’s legacy of CPG marketing excellence to elevate our pro-grade brand equity, packaging, product innovation, and end-user marketing across both commercial accounts and prosumer retail touchpoints.
At ScottsMiracle-Gro, you will define and champion your own ideas, lead high-visibility growth initiatives within an entrepreneurial business segment, and have the opportunity to rotate across business units to build well-rounded executive leadership capabilities.
Everyday you will:
- Drive Cross-Functional Project Execution: Coordinate daily project workflows across commercial B2B sales, agronomic R&D, supply chain, regulatory, finance, and creative agency partners to keep brand deliverables on schedule.
- Support B2B & CPG Commercialization: Assist in taking commercial lawn and turf innovations from concept through development, packaging production, distributor listing, and commercial rollout.
- Build Commercial Sales Enablement Assets: Partner directly with the commercial sales organization to create high-impact selling decks, distributor pitch toolkits, technical sell sheets, operator rebate collateral, and trial proof narratives using field research data.
- Manage Portfolio & Artwork Workflows: Track product lifecycle milestones across professional product line-ups, guiding packaging copy, regulatory claim approvals, and graphic design updates through completion.
- Synthesize Commercial Data & Insights: Pull, synthesize, and report on wholesale shipment trends, distributor POS data, field inventory, and end-user customer insights to identify volume risks and growth opportunities.
- Monitor Competitor & Market Activity: Track competitive movements in the professional and prosumer landscape—including pricing, promotional plays, and positioning by vertically integrated distributors and regional suppliers—to help penetrate the market.
- Assist in P&L & Budget Administration: Track brand marketing budgets, sample distributions, trade promotion allocations, and project expenses to support business unit margin targets.
- Represent the Voice of the Professional Customer: Work with an internal insights team to collect and articulate customer feedback from landscape contractors, consumers, and customers to inform product refinements and marketing briefs.
To thrive in this role:
- Dual-Channel Curiosity: You are energized by learning both the mechanics of two-step B2B wholesale distribution and the fundamentals of consumer brand positioning and packaging design.
- Proactive Bias for Action: You are organized, comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with ambiguity, and eager to roll up your sleeves to solve operational challenges.
- Analytical Storytelling: You can analyze multiple data streams—from wholesale volume reports to retail POS—and translate them into actionable summaries and clear presentation decks.
- Collaborative Communication: You build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, working comfortably alongside agronomic scientists, sales directors, creative copywriters, and supply planners.
- Accountability & Detail Orientation: You take personal ownership of project execution, ensuring deadlines, brand style guidelines, and regulatory requirements are met consistently.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Business Administration, Agribusiness, or a related field.
- 3 years of experience in brand management, product marketing, or commercial marketing within a consumer goods company, commercial B2B supplier, or hybrid B2B/CPG organization.
- Proven project management experience with a track record of cross-functional team leadership, managing competing deadlines, and bringing products or campaigns to market. Strong analytical capabilities with demonstrated experience evaluating sales reports, market research, and financial metrics.
Some other nice to haves:
- Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in Marketing or General Management.
- Experience working within or supporting commercial contractor channels, wholesale trade distribution (e.g., landscape, turf, agricultural, or building products supply), or professional dealer networks.
- Familiarity with commercial trade program development, operator incentive architectures, and distributor co-op marketing.
- Experience in creative brief development, B2B sales enablement collateral, and integrated digital/trade campaign execution.

Brand Manager Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a brand manager in Ohio?
Brand manager roles in Ohio do not require a state-issued license or registration. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, or communications, along with relevant work experience in marketing or a related field. Ohio's large consumer goods and retail employers typically prefer candidates who have managed product lines or led campaign development. Building a portfolio of measurable brand results and earning certifications in digital marketing or market research can strengthen a candidacy significantly.
How much do brand managers make in Ohio?
Brand managers in Ohio earn a median of about $132,330 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,490 for the lowest 10% to over $224,990 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire brand managers in Ohio?
Employers hiring brand managers in Ohio right now include Procter & Gamble, Bath & Body Works, and Abbott, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Ohio's concentration of consumer goods headquarters and major retail brands makes it one of the more active states for brand management hiring outside the coasts.
Which Ohio cities have the most brand manager jobs?
Columbus, Cincinnati, and Marysville account for the most brand manager openings in Ohio. Columbus leads because it is home to major retail and insurance headquarters, while Cincinnati's concentration of consumer packaged goods companies, including Procter and Gamble, drives consistent demand, and Cleveland's healthcare and financial services sector adds a steady share of brand-focused roles.
Are there remote brand manager jobs in Ohio?
Yes, and more than many marketing roles, since brand strategy and campaign management are largely desk-based and collaborative work that translates well to remote settings. About 29% of brand manager openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the broader shift in marketing functions. Campaign planning, content strategy, and brand analytics are the sub-areas most commonly performed fully remote.
How can I get hired as a brand manager in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a marketing coordinator or assistant brand manager role at one of Ohio's large consumer goods or retail employers, which regularly hire recent graduates. Companies such as Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati and L Brands in Columbus run structured rotational and associate programs that move candidates into brand management tracks. A degree in marketing or business combined with internship experience, a portfolio of campaign work, and a Google Analytics or HubSpot certification will make an entry-level application competitive.
