Job Summary

Own the end-to-end brand execution from strategy to delivery, shaping the content engine, social communities, and real-world activations. Lead partnerships, PR, and tone across all channels, and build the team as the brand scales.

  • Translate brand strategy into plans with budgets and success metrics
  • Lead content, social, events, and partnerships to drive organic reach and meaningful engagement
  • Develop and grow the team to support scale

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Turn the brand strategy into a joined-up programme of activity, with plans, budgets and clear measures of success
  • Build the content engine: a monthly run of hero brand content, briefing in-house and agency creatives and pushing until the work is right
  • Own social and community, growing organic reach and turning followers into people who actually care. You'll line manage the Social Media Manager.
  • Bring the brand to life in real life through experiential, events and sponsorships
  • Find the right partners (talent, causes, other brands) and turn collaborations into something that cuts through
  • Lead PR with the agency, keeping the brand in the right conversations
  • Look after tone of voice and identity so everything you put out is distinctive and shareable
  • Hire, build and develop the team as it grows

Requirements

  • At least 8 years in brand roles, including time at a DTC brand. The DTC experience is a must.
  • Brand content you've led from brief to finished piece that people chose to watch and share. We'll want to see it.
  • A proper playbook for growing organic social across Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn
  • Hands-on experience leading PR, experiential and partnerships
  • Strong creative judgement, and the confidence to push agencies and production partners to get there
  • Comfort with data: you use brand and channel metrics to decide what to do next, not just gut feel
  • Line management experience, and you enjoy developing people

Preferred

  • Bonus points if you've worked at a bigger brand (where you learnt the structure and rigour) and a scale-up (where you learnt to make things happen with less)

Benefits

  • £65,000 to £75,000, plus share options after probation
  • Hybrid working, 3 days a week in a London office
  • Generous holiday, plus your birthday off
  • Wellbeing platform and gym membership
  • A brand with a real sustainability mission, at a stage where your work will visibly shape it
