We are PMG

Who You Will Be Working With

At PMG, you’ll be part of a hands-on Commerce Programmatic group—marketers, operators, analysts, and creatives who care about people as much as performance. You’ll partner closely with Retail Operations, Retail Media, Strategy, and Creative teammates to shape how products show up across marketplaces and how shoppers experience each PDP from first glance to purchase.

Day to day, you’ll collaborate with client partners and PMG leads to turn insights into action—aligning catalog health, PDP content, pricing, and promotions so everything works in sync. You’ll have supportive leaders, modern tools, and plenty of space to share ideas, mentor others, and keep raising the bar on what “retail ready” looks like.

If you’re excited about building strong client relationships, collaborating across teams, and helping brands achieve meaningful growth through smart, connected commerce, this is the place to do your best work. As a Commerce Programmatic Lead, you’ll feel right at home here.
