At CJ Schwan’s, we don’t just make food — we help create moments that matter.

Our portfolio includes iconic pizzas, global flavors, and timeless desserts from brands like Red Baron®, bibigo®, Tony’s®, Big Daddy’s®, Freschetta®, Pagoda®, Edwards® and Mrs. Smith’s®. Enjoyed in homes, schools, restaurants and just about everywhere people shop and eat, our products reflect a commitment to quality, innovation, and the power of food to bring people together. 

Join our Marketing Team and help drive growth across a portfolio of emerging and established brands.

  • Support development of annual brand and product plans through analysis of consumer trends, competitive intelligence, syndicated data, and market research
  • Manage and execute marketing initiatives within budget, including consumer promotions, advertising, product innovation, trade marketing, special events, and local market activations
  • Partner with cross-functional teams and agency partners to deliver impactful programs across product development, branding, packaging, advertising, and promotions
  • Provide analytical support for sales forecasting, demand planning, budgeting, and brand profitability
  • Conduct research and analysis on consumers, customers, competitors, and industry trends to identify growth opportunities
  • Track program performance and recommend optimizations to improve business results

What We Look For:

  • MBA and 3+ years of related marketing, brand management, or consumer packaged goods experience
  • Strong analytical skills with experience leveraging market data and consumer insights
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and project management skills

What We Offer:

The base salary range for this position is $83,000 - $139,000 annually with eligibility for a 15% annual incentive bonus, which is based on organizational performance. The range reflects factors such as experience, skills, education, certifications, and location, and starting salary may fall anywhere within the stated range.
