O WE ARE

At American Meadows, our Purpose is Doing Good Through Gardening. Our two brands serve distinct audiences: American Meadows is the leading authority on meadowscaping, while High Country Gardens specializes in sustainable gardening for the Western U.S. With over a decade of double-digit growth and a passionate customer base of gardeners nationwide, we’re entering a pivotal chapter — investing in new tools, new talent, and new ways of working to help even more people grow something meaningful.

WHO YOU ARE & WHAT YOU’D DO

Location Eligibility:

This is a remote role; however, due to state employment requirements, we are only able to consider candidates who currently reside in the following states: Vermont (VT), New Hampshire (NH), Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA), North Carolina (NC), Louisiana (LA), Utah (UT), Montana (MT), or New Mexico (NM). We are unable to hire in other states at this time.

We’re looking for a data-driven performance marketer who can translate numbers into predictable growth. Reporting to the Director of Marketing, the Channel Marketing Specialist will own the day-to-day execution, optimization, and reporting of our paid media program across search, social, shopping, and emerging channels.

You’ll manage agency partners, monitor pacing and performance, and make proactive recommendations that improve efficiency, accuracy, and return on spend. You’ll also play a key supporting role in planning, forecasting, and testing new growth opportunities — helping us strengthen our acquisition engine for the long term.

This role is ideal for someone who’s hands-on with platforms, analytical by nature, and energized by measurable results. You don’t just run campaigns — you run them with purpose and know how to connect tactics to company goals.

This role is all about connecting strategy to measurable results — and we’re curious how you think about that.

As part of your application, please include a short written response (a few paragraphs is plenty) that answers:

1. What tools and KPIs do you use to drive performance?
2. How would you translate that into a seasonal ecommerce environment like ours?
3. Teach us something we don’t know — about marketing, customers, or our category.

We’re not looking for a formal cover letter — we’re more interested in your thought process than your writing. Your short response can be submitted with your application or emailed to jobs@americanmeadows.com. Please note: this response is required for consideration. If you need an accommodation at any point in the process, please reach out to us at the same email address.

OUR CULTURE

We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our company blends data and creativity, and we celebrate both experimentation and impact. Whether you’re collaborating remotely or at our Vermont HQ, you’ll be part of a team that believes in Doing Good Through Gardening — and occasionally breaks for taco trucks, bagpipes, or spontaneous “Don’t Stop Believin’” singalongs.

THE PERKS

The usual, but very important, things like health, vision, dental (which the company contributes to), as well as a matching retirement plan and company paid Life Insurance and Disability.

Additional optional benefits include a Health Savings Account (HSA), an Employee Assistance Program through InvestEAP, and access to discounted college courses and certificate programs through Champlain College’s TruED program.

We’re life-long learners and want you to be inspired to grow, whether it’s through Master Gardener, an Excel class, or wanting to be more informed on ways to support our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts.

We share in our financial success, and you’ll receive an incentive payout when we achieve our financial and project goals.

The best way for you to connect with our products is by digging in the dirt and gardening with our products. We offer at-cost product discounts and at the end of each season, with any remaining unsold products, we give them out to our employees and the community to fuel more gardening passion!

Estimated Base Salary Range: $65–75K, depending on experience.

This role reports to the Director of Marketing and does not have direct reports.
