VP Marketing - Flatout, Inc, Saline
Description:
Seeking: Marketing genius with boundless energy and passion for growing brands. Ideal partner would have a savvy blend of entrepreneurial passion and marketing “get it” along with a sophisticated tool box of real-world marketing skills necessary to build and perpetuate great brands. We’re growing, we’re shaking up a sleepy traditional category--let’s be honest, bread isn’t exactly a new business! We’re looking for somebody to share our vision and continue in the evolution of our brand/product story. The marketing seat on the Flatout bus is vacant—perhaps you’re the right one for that seat? Stacey and Mike Marsh are looking for a senior marketing leader/partner to help grow the Flatout brand. As entrepreneurs, we grew Flatout with passion and dedication. This position requires someone who can share our passion and vision for the brand as we expand distribution and continue our brand evolution! We’re looking for someone with a balanced mix of entrepreneurial energy and real-world, hands-on marketing execution skills, along with a track record of success with brands that are as exciting as Flatout. Here is an excerpt from the “Flatout Story” in Stacey’s own words. “After three long years of feeding restaurant customers, family and friends flatbread, we developed the original recipe for FLATOUT flatbreads in our bakery in Ann Arbor, MI!!!! We still remember the day in 1998, when we actually produced a piece of flatbread we’d be proud to sell to our customers. As the flatbread came flying off the end of the bakery line, we were yelling, “This is it!” Since that unforgettable moment of flying FLATOUT, we have sold our unique FLATOUT to thousands of supermarkets, hotels, recreational parks, schools, universities and restaurants. And we will keep on flying toward making Flatout a household name across the country – after all, it’s better than sliced bread!” Flatout is an established healthy, premium brand of distinctive flatbread products, pre-made sandwich kits and baked flatbread crisps. Flatout is a “discovery brand”! It has grown by word-of-mouth and has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. This growth has fueled a need to evolve the sophistication of our marketing initiatives and programs as we transition from a sales-driven to a marketing-driven company (a.k.a. we’re finally big enough to actually have a marketing team and budget!) Flatout bakes all of its products in a highly efficient manufacturing facility in Saline, Michigan. Flatout enjoys strong brand recognition with weight-conscious and health-minded consumers targeting enthusiast groups such as Best Life diet, Atkins diet, and Weight Watchers. In 2009, Flatout introduced two new product lines, FOLDit™, a patented, hinged flatbread that revolutionizes burgers and sandwiches and EdgeOn™ Crisps, a healthier baked snack chip! From inception, we’ve maintained a strong focus on sustainable business practices and doing our part to be green. For example, 99% of all the paper, cardboard and plastic materials we use are recycled. As a small brand, we’re doing our part for the planet and our local communities. We gratefully support national and local organizations like Breast Cancer Awareness and the Michigan Tigers Soccer Club. We help local schools and donate bread to food banks and local farmers. North Castle Partners, a leading private equity firm focused on investments in “Healthy Living and Aging” trends, invested in Flatout in January 2010. JOB SUMMARY Flatout’s newly established VP of Marketing role will focus on building a team/organization and marketing mix that will support the brand’s continued sales growth and expanded distribution plans. Marketing will play an integral role within the senior team and will be responsible for establishing a clear linkage between sales/distribution strategy and development of marketing programs/execution. In partnership with the CEO/President, the VP is the brand steward of Flatout and will develop/direct all aspects of the marketing and brand strategy, marketing budget, and marketing execution for Flatout and our family of brands. As a high-growth business, our world is constantly evolving—requiring ongoing evaluation and adjustment of marketing strategy and plans to meet changing market and competitive conditions. This position participates as a core senior management team member in driving the team/organization to achieve its vision, strategies and financial plans. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include: • Develop and execute annual marketing strategy and mix/plan in support of organizational strategy and financial objectives. • Initiate, develop and coordinate effective social media, web communication event/guerrilla marketing and promotion programs. • Direct the creation and placement of advertising and public relations programs to support brand-building objectives (note: Flatout has not been a traditional advertiser). • Work within senior team in the development of new product concepts, including the study and evaluation of their potential and practicality. • Coordinate all pre-operations stages of new product development, as well as evolution/improvement within existing product mix. • Directly manage client account marketing programs with VP of Sales. Develop promotions and programs on account-specific basis. • Partner with VP Sales to monitor retail sales performance (both categorical and brand-specific), trend research and estimates of market development and potential. Ensure that all senior management is provided with the data needed to anticipate and react to market conditions. • Direct implementation and execution of marketing and service policies and practices. • Develop and manage marketing team and network capable of carrying out needed marketing and service strategies, including marketing employees, consultants, and agencies. QUALIFICATIONS • Leadership: a demonstrated ability to lead people and get results through others. • Planning: an ability to think ahead and plan over a 1-2 year time span. • Management: the ability to organize and manage multiple priorities. • Creativity: open to and driving new ideas. • Hands-on self-starter: proven ability to not just lead/manage, but also to execute in a resource-lean organization. • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills including presentation skills. EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration/Marketing (or related) with experience and demonstrated success in brand building, consumer packaged goods, brand/category management, and management of marketing/creative teams. Experience with a “lifestyle” brand is highly desirable. ATTRACTIONS • A highly autonomous and fast-paced senior leadership opportunity within an organization positioned, financed and energized for growth; • Working closely with the Executive Team and Board of Directors; • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture within a positive industry that encourages and supports a healthy, balanced lifestyle; and • A competitive compensation package.
