Shameless makes better-for-you candy: low sugar, high fiber, no artificial dyes. We're growing quickly across retail, DTC, Amazon, and TikTok.
As Brand Manager, you'll keep brand plans moving into market

and make sure Sales has what they need to execute them. You'll help manage the brand and retail marketing calendar, translate strategy into clear programs and realistic timelines, and keep Sales, Ops, Creative, Growth, and agency partners aligned on what's happening, when, and what needs to happen next. You'll be the connective tissue between strategy and execution, making complex plans simple and actionable for the teams responsible for bringing them to life. It's a hands-on role that will suit you if you enjoy organizing complexity, driving follow-through, and taking pride in the details that make retail execution work.
