The Sr. Director, Brand Marketing is the senior brand leader for Stouffer’s, one of Nestlé USA’s flagship frozen brands, based in Solon, Ohio. This role is purpose-built for a pure brand marketer: a leader for whom brand equity, positioning, consumer insight, full-funnel storytelling, and portfolio strategy are second nature. The leader is accountable for strengthening Stouffer’s brand DNA while translating strategy into demand creation, product experience superiority, customer experience excellence, and profitable growth across a nationally scaled business with meaningful P&L impact.

This leader owns the end-to-end brand and portfolio agenda across product experience (PX), customer experience (CX), pricing, packaging, communications, innovation and renovation, retail media, commercial execution, and measurement. The Sr. Director sets the multi-year growth strategy, sees around corners to convert consumer and marketplace insights into an innovation pipeline, and makes the strategic trade-offs needed to balance near-term business delivery with long-term brand equity.

The role leads the Stouffer’s marketing organization of blended PX/CX responsibilities. The Sr. Director is expected to build capability, clarity, and accountability across the full team, ensuring PX leaders deliver consumer-led product, packaging, and experience superiority while CX leaders translate brand strategy into customer-ready growth stories, retail execution, digital shelf excellence, and full-funnel demand creation.

Success requires a leader who has scaled iconic brands with national reach, operates with strong financial and analytical acumen, and brings future-ready marketing fluency across AI, retail media, creator/social, advanced analytics, and personalization. Equally important, this leader must show up with strong leadership presence as a consistent, visible, and accessible leader on campus who transforms with change, inspires teams through ambiguity, and elevates the Stouffer’s brand and broader Frozen organization through clarity, ambition, and executional excellence.
