We’re looking for an experienced and strategic Vice President of Marketing to lead the brand into its next chapter of growth. This is a pivotal, high-impact role responsible for setting the strategic direction for the company's marketing initiatives, and activating it across every channel—from retail to DTC to social and partnerships.
You will lead the development and execution of go-to-market and always-on strategies that elevate brand visibility, drive growth, and strengthen brand desirability. As the architect and quarterback of integrated campaigns, you will shape the brand vision, translate it into cohesive launch and evergreen marketing plans, and bring bold, high-impact ideas to life with efficiency, excellence, and heart.
You’ll work closely with our CEO and executive team, and in deep partnership with our Creative Director, to create powerful consumer connection. This role works alongside a strong SVP of Growth, providing brand strategy, storytelling, and content & creative support that aligns and empowers the Growth team.
This role is hybrid, with the expectation to work in-office at least one day per week at our Venice, California headquarters and be on site for events and photo shoots in the LA area and beyond.
The ideal candidate is customer-focused, a strategic thinker, creatively fluent, highly organized, and excited to lead a cross-functional team in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. You’ll balance big-picture thinking with operational precision—and love seeing strategy come to life across every touchpoint.
