Senior Manager, Marketing - Fragrances (Elizabeth Arden)

The Senior Manager, Marketing – Fragrance is a franchise business owner within the US Elizabeth Arden Brand Marketing team. This role has full end-to-end ownership of US marketing strategy, budget management, and execution for the Elizabeth Arden Fragrance franchise. In addition to the Fragrance franchise, this role owns promotional product programming (sets, GWP, and value offers) across both Fragrance and Skincare — a cross-franchise responsibility that reflects the relative size of the Fragrance business and ensures smart use of this role's capacity. The Senior Manager reports directly to the Marketing Director, and partners closely with Sales, Direct-to-Consumer (D2C), and Education & Merchandising to drive commercial performance and brand equity for the Fragrance portfolio.

This is a deliberately focused role — scoped to enable deep franchise ownership, faster decision-making, and full accountability for one business plus a defined cross-category workstream. The Senior Manager owns the Fragrance marketing budget end-to-end, from annual planning and allocation through in-market investment decisions and ROI tracking. At the senior manager level, the role is expected to operate with a high degree of independence, bring a strong point of view, proactively identify and solve business issues, and translate strategy into effective market action within its defined scope. Unlike a broad senior marketing leadership role that spans multiple categories at a strategic level, this position is architected around execution excellence and franchise mastery within a clearly defined scope.
