Sr. Manager, People & Culture

Vividly is the leading Trade Promotion Management (TPM) solution for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. Our intuitive platform streamlines trade spend management, from campaign creation to promotion measurement, helping brands like Liquid Death, Amy’s, and Laird Superfoods maximize ROI.

CPG brands allocate 20% of their revenue to trade promotions, yet 70% fail to deliver positive ROI due to outdated tools like spreadsheets and PDFs. Vividly disrupts this $8 trillion challenge with AI, machine learning, and fintech innovations, empowering businesses to achieve smarter, more effective trade promotions.
