Role Overview
We are seeking an organized, detail-driven Retail Channel Marketing Assistant to support two of JLab's key marketing functions: the Retail Channel and the International Marketing teams. This hands-on, coordination-focused role keeps retail display projects and international marketing initiatives moving on time, from kickoff to execution in stores and markets around the world. In this role, you will track retail display projects end to end, tracking timelines, managing product and sample orders, and keeping vendors and internal teams informed.

On the international side, you will turn market requests into creative briefs, manage timelines and vendors, and coordinate global shipments. Success requires strong follow-through, clear communication, and the ability to balance competing priorities across both teams. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional to build real project management skills in a fast-paced consumer electronics brand.

You'll see how retail marketing programs come together across product, sales, operations, and global markets, and you'll play a direct role in how JLab shows up on shelves and in campaigns around the world. If you're the person who keeps a project on track, loves a well-organized task list, and wants to grow your career in retail and brand marketing, we'd love to hear from you.
