Brand Manager, B2C

Responsibilities

• Brand strategy: Own brand strategy for eyebobs and American Optical: positioning, consumer target, brand voice, visual identity, and the reason each brand exists in a crowded category.
• Translate strategy into working tools the whole organization can use brand guidelines, messaging frameworks, and seasonal creative platforms.
• Bring the consumer into the room: own brand health tracking, consumer insight, and competitive monitoring, and use it to sharpen positioning over time.
• Partner with Product Development on how strategy shows up in the product itself collection stories, naming, packaging, and the assortment each brand needs to stay true to its consumer.
• Partnership with sales channels: Partner with DTC/Amazon, wholesale, and retail teams to create a brand experience that is distinct, differentiated, and consistent everywhere the consumer meets it.
• Translate brand strategy into channel-specific execution knowing that a product page, an Amazon listing, an ECP counter display, and a retail fixture each carry the brand differently and all must feel like the same brand.
• Build the brand toolkit that channel partners actually use: assets, guidelines, copy, and campaign extensions sized for each channel's needs.
• Protect brand integrity across channels pricing presentation, promotional tone, and imagery so that growth in one channel never erodes the brand in another.
• Ownership of organic channels: Own PR for both brands: media relationships, story development, product placement, and press moments that build credibility rather than noise.

• Strong writer and editor with an ear for brand voice and the range to hold two very different voices at once.
