About the Market The North American market for car cleaning products is valued at slightly more than $3 billion. It is expected to grow at a rate of 3.5%, reaching $4.25 billion by 2030. Market growth is driven by consumer spending on vehicle maintenance, the popularity of luxury and sport utility vehicles, and the demand for products that enhance vehicle aesthetics. According to IBISWorld, car cleaning products represent a 28% share of this market, with car shampoos and detergents dominating the category. Broadly speaking, the market is shifting towards environmentally friendly and waterless cleaning solutions, driven by consumer preferences and regulatory pressures. In general, market growth is propelled by rising disposable incomes, increased consumer awareness, high vehicle ownership rates, and demand for aftermarket products. Continued Innovation is a key driver in this space. The increase in automotive sales, coupled with the trend toward extending vehicle life, contributes to the growing demand for cleaning products as vehicles stay on the road longer. What Are the Odds? Believe it or not, I’ve been an ecommerce recruiter for 15 years, and I’m also a certified car detailer (as a hobby). I'm even certified by 3M for PPF applications, given my commitment to my car hobby. So this is a space I know very well. What I can tell you firsthand is that Griot's has a very strong product line, and the brand enjoys unique market positioning. Their products are truly first-rate, and there’s significant upside potential for the company and this role. Feel free to ask me anything you’d like about this market! About the Role We’ve known this hiring manager for nearly two decades. She’s phenomenal. In fact, we’ve tried to recruit her away on several occasions, and despite our clients offering her more money, she has stayed due to the strong company culture and vision. The position will be, by its nature, very collaborative and broad. If you're looking for a role with a lot of rigidity and structure, this job isn't for you.

To win in this role, you'll need significant expertise in 1./ branded loyalty marketing, 2./ managing new product launches, and 3./ integrated promotional marketing.

Think SAFA: "Start Anywhere, Finish Anywhere." Griot's will launch dozens of new products this year, and the team needs to get organized in how it 1./ shows and storytells around the product, 2./ highlights the features and benefits, and 3./ makes sure different channels partners have what they need to communicate each product's features, benefits, outcomes, and transformations to the market. If a customer sees the product online and wants to buy in a store, they should be able to do that. If they see it in a store and want to buy it online, we're OK with that. If they see it in a store and want to research it online and buy it in a store, NO PROBLEM. We want to sell to them the way they buy. In terms of loyalty marketing, YOU will build, analyze, and adjust the program that builds a long-term relationship with the customers. Collaborate on permission-based campaigns that ultimately help Griot's customers feel better about their time in their garage. Consistent. Relevant. Anticipated. Personal. Buying the product, and joining the brand.
