About The Position

We're looking for a Brand Director to own and evolve how a fast-growing performance retail brand shows up in the world. You'll set the brand vision, lead our creative team, and ensure everything we put out—from our website and editorial campaigns to organic content and email—feels cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably on-brand. This is a pure brand role: you're the guardian of our identity, the voice behind our storytelling, and the creative standard-bearer for everything we say and show. You'll collaborate closely with our growth team, but your focus is brand—building something people recognize, trust, and love.

Requirements

6–8 years of brand marketing or brand management experience, ideally in men's fashion or a DTC menswear brand.
A genuine, well-developed sense of men's style — you know what looks good, why it works, and how to translate taste into brand direction.
Expert-level copywriting skills; you write with clarity, confidence, and a distinct voice, and you can tell the difference between good copy and great copy.
Proven experience managing and leading a creative team in a fast-paced environment.
Track record of developing and executing 360° brand campaigns.
Strong creative instincts and the ability to define and defend what "on-brand" looks like across every touchpoint.
Comfortable and proficient using AI tools to enhance creative output, accelerate workflows, and scale brand content.
Highly organized, with excellent project management skills and attention to detail.
Comfortable leading with both vision and hands-on execution in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial setting.
