About the Stanley brand
Having been part of countless adventures and even more shared memories, the Stanley brand has
fueled outdoor adventures since 1913 and is committed to delivering quality food and beverage gear
built for life.
Behind the Stanley brand we are a team of passionate outdoor enthusiasts who like to work hard and
play hard. Honored as the best team in the company last year you’ll be joining a collaborative fast paced
environment where you’ll be challenged to bring your best to the office every day.
Position Overview
The Stanley Trade Marketing Manager will be responsible for helping to drive sell in and sell through of
Stanley products by supporting our sales organization through trade marketing activities including: Sales
presentations and other trade marketing materials, Trade advertising, Trade events, and Retail
merchandising.
The right person will be great at this – you are a highly organized and detail oriented problem solver.
You have 5-7 years’ experience in marketing or sales support ideally in the outdoor industry. You’re able
to juggle multiple projects and personalities at once – that’s fun for you. You stay calm in a storm and
you can prioritize conflicting deadlines. You are passionate about the outdoors and want to bring this
passion to the Stanley team to grow our trade marketing efforts.
What happens at work? You’ll create and maintain sales support collateral including Master Sales
Presentations, Stanley’s Resource Center, Direct Mail, Trade advertising, and more. You’ll plan and
manage all Stanley trade marketing events including our two largest trade shows (Outdoor Retailer in
Salt Lake City and OutDoor in Friedrichshafen, Germany and other key events). You’ll develop and
manage all in-store marketing materials from ideation and budgeting to creation and implementation.
There is some travel - both domestic and global and sometimes you’re needed at odd hours. Might be a
long day at the trade show or an international meeting requiring flexibility. Expect to pack your bags
and head overseas a couple times a year and travel state-side around five trips per year.
