About the Role
Palm Bay International is seeking a Vice President of Revenue Growth Management to own commercial profitability strategy across its entire brand portfolio. This new role, established as part of a finance department reorganization, will create a dedicated RGM hub with a distinct mandate. The VP of RGM will set pricing architecture, institutionalize trade spend discipline, govern distributor contracts, and lead a commercial finance team, shaping decisions up to the CEO level.
Responsibilities
- Set frontline pricing, depletion allowances, and quantity-discount frameworks for open and control states.
- Establish maximum annual trade spend and discount budgets and fund allocation boundaries per brand, size, and market.
- Govern multi-state distributor contract terms, margin structures, and compliance metrics across the distributor network.
- Institutionalize pricing governance and trade spend discipline across 6 geographic divisions and 40+ distributor relationships, replacing ad-hoc commercial decisions with structured guardrails.
- Align with Marketing and Brand teams to design new-product and regional launch pricing, validating market-level economics and preventing margin erosion from localized promotions.
- Direct Sales, Marketing and RGM teams on pricing decisions and serve as the primary Finance counterpart to the CSO and CMO on commercial strategy.
- Lead the Director of Pricing & Strategy and a dedicated TPM Lead in administering state-by-state pricing matrices, the Trade Promotion Management (TPM) platform, and monthly promotional ROI reporting.
- Lead the regional Commercial Finance Managers in joint distributor business reviews with Sales VPs, reconciling shipment, depletion, and retail scan data to catch margin leakage at the source.
- Own distributor contract management and field-level commercial margin defense in partnership with the Commercial Finance Managers.
- Partner with the VP of FP&A and VP of Accounting & Treasury to validate commercial market economics for M&A targets, new brand investments, and market entry decisions.
- Build and scale the RGM organization toward its future-state structure, including the Director of Pricing & Strategy, a TPM Lead, National Account/Channel Analysts, and up to 6 regional Commercial Finance Directors.
Requirements
- 12+ years in commercial finance, pricing strategy, or category management leadership.
- Direct, hands-on experience navigating the three-tier beverage alcohol distribution system is non-negotiable.
- Deep expertise in depletion data analytics and commercial distributor contract negotiation.
- Proven track record setting pricing architecture, trade spend guardrails, and margin governance frameworks at scale across multiple divisions and distributor relationships.
- Demonstrated ability to direct Sales, Marketing and RGM colleagues on pricing, with the executive presence to negotiate directly with C-suite commercial leaders (CSO, CMO).
- Experience owning P&L-level margin, profitability, and revenue governance outcomes — strategic ownership, not transactional, task-level pricing management.
- Strong people-leadership skills, with experience building and scaling a multi-person team, including field-based or embedded finance roles.
- Wine, spirits, or broader beverage alcohol industry experience strongly preferred; genuine passion for the category and the business.
