The Opportunity

As the Retail Marketplace & Channel Growth Manager, you will own the health, performance, and growth of Hatch’s third-party retail and marketplace channels, including Amazon, Target, Babylist, Walmart, Best Buy, Nordstrom, and select emerging partners.

This is a manager-level, high-impact role focused on end-to-end channel ownership. You will balance revenue growth, margin discipline, compliance, and operational excellence while setting priorities across lean resources. You’ll serve as a strategic partner to leaders across

Growth, Finance, Operations, Marketing, and Brand—translating retail complexity into clear recommendations and scalable execution.

This role will report to the Sr Director, Growth and must be based in the United States or Canada. Hatch is based out of California, so this role will be asked to be available during PST/PDT hours.
