About the role
- This is not a role for someone who runs a single account in a silo.
- You'll need to move fluidly between big-picture strategy and hands-on, in-the-weeds work.
- You'll deepen and expand the relationships we already have across big-box, mass and club, and online retail - and you'll bring new products to market through those doors while driving sell-through and growing our share of the category.
Responsibilities
- It's for a hands-on retail leader who owns relationships, owns the numbers, and owns the outcome - someone who can walk into a buyer meeting and drive a joint business plan, then walk into an internal review and defend the P&L behind it.
- This is as much a build role as it is a run role.
- As Head of Retail, you will own SimpliSafe's retail channel: the partner relationships, the P&L, the account plans, and the strategic direction of where we take this channel next.
- You own SimpliSafe's retail partnerships across big-box (e.g., Best Buy), mass and club (e.g., Costco, Walmart, Target), and online retail (e.g., Amazon).
- You'll build and manage account plans against clear targets for revenue, margin, and share, and you'll be accountable for the numbers - knowing what's working, what isn't, and what the best next move is.
- You'll drive sell-through at the shelf and grow SimpliSafe's share of the home security category.
- That means the right assortment, the right placement, the right price, and the right promotional support in every account.
- You own the marketing and promotional strategy for the channel.
- You'll build promotional calendars in partnership with our retail accounts and internal Marketing team, plan and manage trade spend, and measure what actually moves the numbers.
- A mission- and values-driven culture and a safe, inclusive environment where you can build, grow and thrive
Requirements
- Deep retail expertise, with a track record of owning and growing retail accounts and channels.
- Experience selling hardware or subscription services through retail channels - ideally in a considered-purchase or D2C-meets-retail environment.
- Ability to flex seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution-from shaping channel direction to getting into the weeds of an account plan when needed.
- Comfort using data to tell the story - how the channel is performing, what's driving it, and what to do next - whether 1:1, in a deck, or in front of leadership.
Compensation
- The target annual base pay range for this role is $201,200 - $268,200.
- This target annual base pay range represents our good-faith estimate of what we expect to pay for this role.
- We use a market-based compensation approach to set our target annual base pay ranges and make adjustments annually.
Benefits
- A comprehensive total rewards package that supports your wellness and provides security for SimpliSafers and their families (For more information on our total rewards please click here )
