• Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify trends, customer insights, and keyword opportunities across Walmart and other retail marketplaces.
• Work closely with PPC specialists and advertising teams to develop targeted Walmart Connect (and equivalent big box) campaigns that drive product visibility and sales growth.

• Assist in pricing strategy and promotional planning, ensuring alignment with business objectives and each retailer's pricing parity requirements.
• Support off-platform marketing initiatives such as social media, influencers, and external paid traffic campaigns to drive brand awareness for Walmart and big box listings.
• Work closely with logistics and supply chain teams to ensure adequate inventory levels across retailer fulfillment models (WFS, vendor/DSV, drop-ship, etc.), minimizing stockouts and overstock situations.
• Monitor and analyze inventory turnover rates, storage fees, and retailer-specific replenishment recommendations to optimize profitability.
• Assist in developing inventory replenishment strategies to align with promotional campaigns and sales growth projections across retail partners.
