We are looking for a high-ownership Senior Shopper Marketing (Brand Activation) Manager with exceptional project management capability and strong creative judgement to lead the planning and execution of in-store activation across our largest retail partners, including Walmart, Target and key Grocery/Drug customers. You will translate brand strategy into retail-ready execution; owning displays and point-of-sale programs end-to-end so our brands show up with speed, consistency, and impact at shelf.

This role spans multiple ZURU Edge brands, from highly design-forward consumer brands such as DAISE Beauty, MONDAY Haircare and Millie Moon, to other fast-growing categories across our portfolio.

You’ll champion the consumer at the point of purchase, ensuring every activation is consumer-led and creatively excellent, while driving timelines, stakeholders, and details through to flawless execution. Your work will strengthen retailer partnerships and accelerate growth across ZURU Edge’s consumer goods brands in key markets.
At ZURU, we have cultivated a high-performing culture that encourages excellence. Our team works towards ambitious goals, learning, performing, and improving together, all while having fun. We empower talented individuals to do their best work every day.
