Role Description Jam+ is looking for a hands-on commercial builder to create new revenue across our ecommerce businesses.

You'll identify, develop, and close new DTC and ecommerce-adjacent growth opportunities while overseeing channel growth and performance — including strategic partnerships, white-label platform opportunities, procurement relationships, vertical sales programs, and new outbound sales motions. You'll work directly with the CEO and be expected to move quickly, think creatively, and operate with a high degree of ownership.
