Reporting to the Channel Management Lead, this role focuses on enabling the sales organization by supporting promotions, product launches, pricing alignment, training initiatives, and distributor-facing activities.

What You Will Do:

• Support the sales organization with the execution of channel programs and strategies, including promotions, new product introductions, pricing updates, and training rollouts.

• Engage directly with distributor partners on specific initiatives (e.g., product launches, events, pricing projects), supporting sales efforts with additional channel expertise.
• Track and analyze performance metrics, promotional effectiveness, and sell-through results to inform channel planning and adjustments.
• Assist in the creation of presentations and reports for internal and external stakeholder meetings.
• Provide feedback from the field and channel to the PRO Strategy team to help refine programs and identify growth opportunities.

Who You Are:

• A collaborative partner who enjoys supporting others to succeed and thrives in a matrixed, cross-functional environment.
• A problem-solver who brings structure and clarity to complex channel challenges.
• A team player who communicates clearly and confidently with internal stakeholders at all levels.
• Someone who enjoys diving into sales data, promotional results, and distributor performance to inform better decisions.
  Organized and accountable, with a strong ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in channel marketing, sales support, commercial operations, or customer-facing roles—ideally within the PRO, construction, or distribution space.
• Supported sales teams with tools, insights, and coordination across functions like marketing, pricing, or training.
• Participated in distributor-related activities such as product launches, promotional planning, or line reviews.
• Worked cross-functionally to implement go-to-market initiatives and improve sales execution.
• Familiar with CRM tools (e.g., C4C), sales reporting systems, and Microsoft Office suite.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field preferred.
