Account Manager, Strategic Insights

The way consumers discover and buy products is being rewritten — and Stackline sits at the center of that shift. As a Manager on the Strategic Insights team, you'll be a trusted advisor to some of the world's most recognized brands, helping them navigate a rapidly evolving landscape where AI-powered shopping agents, digital shelf dynamics, and real-time data are reshaping how purchase decisions get made.

You'll combine Stackline's proprietary datasets with a powerful suite of AI tools to uncover growth opportunities, build compelling narratives, and deliver recommendations that move the needle. This isn't a back-office analytics role — you'll be the face of Stackline for your clients, leading calls, shaping strategy, and translating complex data into clear direction. If you're someone who thrives in client conversations as much as in spreadsheets, and who gets genuinely excited about what AI is doing to commerce, this role was built for you.

• Own and grow consulting relationships with a portfolio of leading global brands, serving as their strategic advisor
• Lead client calls with confidence — synthesizing performance trends, aligning on priorities, and proactively bringing new ideas to the table
• Translate complex datasets and analyses into polished, persuasive narratives for executive and cross-functional stakeholders
• Build and deliver high-quality client-facing materials — presentations, performance recaps, one-pagers, and strategic frameworks — that make data feel urgent and actionable

• Conduct deep market, category, and competitor analyses to sharpen clients' ecommerce strategies and keep them ahead of fast-moving trends
• Advise clients on how to win across both the traditional digital shelf and the emerging agentic shelf — where AI assistants like Amazon Rufus, ChatGPT Shopping, and Perplexity are increasingly driving purchase decisions
• Identify optimization opportunities across AI shopping visibility, content, pricing, promotions, and advertising — and connect those levers to measurable business outcomes

• Generate performance reports and forecasts that connect historical data to forward-looking strategic recommendations

• Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; you know how to make data compelling, not just accurate
• Proven ability to synthesize large, complex datasets into clear, confident recommendations
