Are you a proven sales leader with a passion for the toy industry and a track record of driving massive growth with Target ? We're looking for a National Account Manager to be the driving force behind our partnership with one of our most critical customers.

This role is not just about managing an account—it's about owning the strategy, maximizing profitability, and flawlessly executing our brand vision at Target. If you thrive on deep financial analysis, collaborative forecasting, and building rock-solid relationships, let's talk.

  • Be the Trusted Partner : Build and sustain deep, collaborative relationships with Target’s buying, planning, and replenishment teams.
  • Drive the Sale : Champion and sell in top-priority brands and key items, securing optimal OOA (Out of Aisle) placement and maximizing brand visibility and profitability.
  • Solve Problems First : Anticipate issues and be proactive in addressing out-of-stocks, orders, and inventory flow with a clear, solutions-first mindset .

2. Collaborative Forecasting & Planning (30%)

  • Own the Numbers : Lead joint business planning and build bottom-up, item-level forecasts in partnership with demand planning to meet internal and Target goals.
  • Ensure Accuracy : Continuously monitor POS trends, promotions, and inventory flow to ensure forecast accuracy and align on promotional and seasonal plans.
  • 3. Business & POS Analysis (20%)

  • Be Data-Driven : Monitor and analyze weekly POS and inventory data to identify trends, risks, and substantial growth opportunities.
  • Guide the Strategy : Use analytical insights to inform assortment optimization, promotional strategy, and competitive positioning. Deliver clear weekly and monthly business updates to internal leadership.
  • 4. Communication & Internal Alignment (20%)

  • Voice of the Customer : Serve as the internal voice of the Target buyer, communicating priorities, challenges, and opportunities to cross-functional teams (Marketing, Operations, Finance).
  • Proactive Communication : Proactively communicate risks to deadlines or shipments with clear mitigation plans.
  • Travel : Participate in all key events, including National Sales Meetings, Toy Shows, and Line Reviews. Conduct regular bi-weekly store walks to assess competitive execution.
  • What We're Looking For : Skills & Experience

    Must-Haves

  • Experience : 7+ years of sales management or account management experience within the toy industry or closely related consumer goods category.
  • Target Expertise : Proven success in building and maintaining strong relationships across Target's management, buying, planning, and inventory analyst teams.
  • Platform Proficiency : Deep understanding of Target systems and processes (POL, VIQ, PO Planning).
  • Education : Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field.
  • Business Acumen : Strong financial and analytical skills, including forecast planning and budget oversight. Experience with both FOB (LC) and domestic shipping procedures.
  • Tech Savvy : Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint) and Power BI . Experience with AI tools is a plus.
