Marketing Manager - Canada

Marketing Manager – Canada

Toronto, ON (Hybrid Setting)

If you're energized by fast growth, retail storytelling, and building meaningful partnerships across national retailers and small businesses, this is your next great career move. Jellycat is a global lifestyle sensation — and you'll be at the heart of shaping how the brand shows up across Canada.

CornerStone Professional Placement is seeking a Marketing Manager – Canada for a globally loved, design-led gift and lifestyle brand. In this role, you'll execute regional retail and trade marketing initiatives, support our shop-in-shops, and adapt global campaigns for the Canadian market. You'll thrive here if you're an agile marketer who enjoys building structure, collaborating across multiple teams, and operating in an environment where processes are still evolving.

This position is ideal for someone who excels in retail marketing, wholesale support, and multi-stakeholder communication — not someone focused primarily on PR, consumer brand campaigns, or social media.

What You'll Actually Do as the Marketing Manager – Canada:

• Build and manage an annual Canadian retail marketing calendar including product launches, shop-in-shops, exclusives, activations, and key seasonal moments.
• Partner closely with the Sales Team, Account Managers, and small business retailers across the country to ensure alignment on marketing priorities.
• Create and deliver marketing toolkits, catalogues, sell-in decks, and POS materials tailored to Canada's retail landscape.
• Coordinate with the UK brand, creative, PR, and social teams to execute global campaigns at a regional level.
• Maintain strong relationships with national retailers and support communication around account changes, exclusives, and product drops.
• Measure and report on the effectiveness of regional retail marketing initiatives and use insights to optimize future activities.
• Support budgeting for Canadian marketing efforts and ensure alignment with brand guidelines.
• Travel 20–30% to visit shop-in-shops and retail partners in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montréal.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• 5–8 years of experience in retail marketing, wholesale marketing, or brand marketing within a premium or design-led company.
• Strong knowledge of the Canadian retail landscape.
• Experience producing marketing materials such as toolkits, catalogues, sales decks, and promotional assets.
• Ability to work effectively in a matrixed global organization with multiple stakeholders.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with confidence presenting to senior leaders.
• A proactive, flexible, collaborative approach and comfort working in a fast-paced environment where processes are still being built.
• French-speaking ability is a plus, but not required.

It's a Bonus If You've Worked In

• Retail environments or retail-driven brands.
• Multi-market marketing teams requiring collaboration across countries.
• Product-centric companies rather than tech or service industries.
