Entrepreneurial VP Marketing!

We’re looking for a entrepreneur. A creative entrepreneur. An entrepreneur who can help the owner to be a better entrepreneur. We need someone who will build a strategy and test their assumptions, to run projects from start to finish to drive strong consumer interaction. We are working to create a recognizable brand and have our products and content reflect this vision. We are a small company with big aspirations.

The various aspects of the role are:

1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: You will build a project timeline and step-by-step expectations for the project. You will need to give directions and collaborate to manage the outcome of your project and tasks. You will be functioning under tight deadlines, pushing boundaries of what you think is possible.
2. IDEA GENERATION: By diving deep into our business and determining areas where we can improve, you will propose well-thought-out ideas, backed by strong analysis and an understanding of financials
3. COHESIVE STORYTELLING: You will need to have a knack for writing and content creation. As we go direct to consumers and sell to big box stores, our communication must be clear and impactful to provide a story they understand and relate to. You will need to use trendy graphics and original content to effectively deliver your message.
4. PRODUCT-LINE INTRODUCTIONS: We are always looking to find competitive products to go to market. You will need to find solutions for us to go above and beyond, whether it’s a promotion, a new line of business, or a special presentation opportunity. We’re always looking for ways to expand and step outside our “comfort zone.”
5. OMNI-EXPERIENCE: You will work to tackle the enormous challenge of bringing our experience as a goods provider to every customer channel. We need to provide an online presence to drive in-store activity and its reciprocal, stimulating in-person experiences to drive online interaction. This modern challenge is how the consumer experiences us, TASC, from every outlet.

1. You don’t overlook the details: As far as you are concerned, the details are where the success or failure of a project is determined.
2. You are up for a challenge: You are motivated and driven. You suggest ideas without being prompted and volunteer to take on new projects (including projects we may have yet to think we even needed!). You come up with ideas and do them.
3. You believe that working smart is just as important as working hard: You believe in finding efficient ways to reach goals. If there are tools and technology that will facilitate your work, you will not only seek them out but also learn how to implement and use them in your day-to-day flow.
4. You keep up with the trends: Technology moves fast. You are interested in technological changes and how companies take advantage of what is “new.”
5. You are experienced: You don’t need someone to tell you how to do your job. You have examples and ideas of how successful businesses are run. You can take a step back and think on your feet as to how you’ll help us grow.

We are a fast-growing, fast-paced company, that has doubled in size in the past few years. We supply consumer packaged goods of gardening products in North America. Driven by innovation and attention to detail, the company has established strong customer relationships with leading retailers, including Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, and Canadian Tire. TASC offers an exciting portfolio of products including flower bulbs, fruit and vegetables, seed, and planters.

THE COMPANY: We are a company that challenges you, provides autonomy and lets you grow within your role to develop your skillset. At TASC, we believe finding the right people is more important than fulfilling a specific role! We see the below attributes integral to our operations:

We create goodness. We sell flower bulbs that create beauty in gardens, fruit and vegetables that put food from garden-to-table, and other garden supplies that make it all come together. Our products are good for the body, mind, and the world around us. We are proud to make a positive impact on Earth.

We are growing. And in more ways than one! Our company has seen tremendous growth in the past five years and there is a lot more opportunity in front of us. By joining TASC, you are joining a company that is humbly rooted but reaching toward the sky (and fast!)

We are a boot-strapped company. As a private, well-capitalized company, all decisions are made to benefit the longevity and success of the company, not outside shareholders. We run a lean operation, so you have to be scrappy, but you’ll have real responsibility for your ideas and projects. You’ll get credit for your wins, learn from your mistakes, and can see your projects impact our strategy and connect with millions of consumers.

We play in the big leagues. You don’t have to work for a big company to work with big companies. Our customers are big-box retailers, so you’ll see your work come to fruition at a very large scale while still working for an entrepreneurial company.

We believe sharing is caring. Transparency is an integral part of our company. We work openly with our suppliers and retailers to find ways to share our innovation, success stories, and ways to improve and accept criticism. Everyone’s thoughts are valued, and we believe two minds (and perspectives!) are better than one.

We believe in doing right, even if it isn’t easy. The consumer is at the heart of our business. Every decision we make is to improve the quality, experience, enjoyment, and success of the consumer. Profit is a symptom of being sincere and doing the right thing.

We value passion over pedigree. We don’t have advanced education degree requirements to work at TASC. What we do requires intellectual curiosity, a can-do attitude, and the dedication to turn your ideas into action – and these qualities aren’t learned in a classroom.

We think life is a hustle. Without turning dreams into plans, we wouldn’t have reached where we are today. If you’re a goal-oriented person, you’ll fit right in with our hard-working, intelligent, and ambitious colleagues who don’t settle for anything less than excellence.
