About Us:

The Uhlmann Company is a family-owned business that proudly owns and markets two regionally recognized baking flour brands, Heckers Flour and Ceresota Flour. Our products are distributed through foodservice channels (restaurants & bakeries) and retail grocery channels (grocery stores & distributors). As we navigate changes in the retail landscape, we are looking for a Marketing Specialist to expand our direct-to-consumer (DTC) presence, strengthen our brand awareness, and support our existing sales channels.

Position Overview:

  • Partner with food influencers, bloggers, and bakers to create engaging, user-generated content.
  • Plan and execute paid social media campaigns to drive brand awareness and website traffic.
  • Create seasonal and recipe-based content to showcase product versatility.

2. E-Commerce & Direct-to-Consumer Strategy

  • Research and develop a DTC e-commerce presence, including Amazon storefront optimization and potential Shopify/Walmart Marketplace expansion.
  • Manage product listings with SEO-optimized content, compelling images, and enhanced brand content.
  • Plan and execute Amazon advertising campaigns to drive traffic and conversions.
  • Analyze e-commerce data to improve performance and identify growth opportunities.

3. Retail & Foodservice Channel Support

  • Develop marketing materials for grocery stores and distributors, including POP (Point of Purchase) displays and promotional signage.
  • Assist the sales team with promotions, email campaigns, and in-store marketing initiatives.
  • Conduct market research to identify consumer preferences and emerging trends.

4. Brand Growth & Innovation

  • Assist in the launch of new products or brand acquisitions.
  • Monitor competitor activity and market trends to ensure brand positioning remains strong.
  • Plan and execute email marketing campaigns to engage existing and potential customers.

Qualifications:

· 3+ years of experience in marketing, preferably in CPG, food, or retail industries.

· Proven expertise in social media management, influencer partnerships, and content creation.

· Hands-on experience with Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, and e-commerce marketing strategies.

· Strong SEO and digital advertising skills (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Amazon PPC).

· Excellent copywriting, storytelling, and communication skills.

· Experience with graphic design tools (Canva, Adobe Suite) is a plus.

· Passion for baking or food industry experience is a bonus!

 

What We Offer:

· A dynamic and growing family business with a strong legacy in the flour industry.

· Creative freedom to develop and execute impactful marketing strategies.
