Kettle & Fire is looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Shopper Marketing Coordinator to join our team on a contract-to-hire basis. This is a hands-on opportunity to work across the full spectrum of shopper marketing — from in-store execution and retailer digital campaigns to trade promotions, co-branded partnerships, and cross-functional communications. You'll partner closely with our Senior Shopper & Brand Marketing Manager, as well as our brand and sales teams, to bring our products to life at every consumer touch point — keeping programs on track, results visible, and the team aligned.

This role will begin as a contract position with the opportunity to convert to full-time based on performance, ownership, and demonstrated impact.

Who We Are:

We own our outcomes, speak with radical candor, and embrace a growth mindset - pushing ourselves and each other to keep learning, improving, and delivering high-quality work that matters. We’re obsessed with the customer, insanely focused on mission-critical work, and committed to building a team where collaboration, accountability, and high trust are non-negotiable.

We don’t do fluff. We tackle big challenges with great people, celebrate the wins, and enjoy the ride along the way. If this sounds like an environment you’d thrive in, you’ll feel right at home here.
