Brand Marketing Manager

h3About the job /h3 pFirst, how we work, because it's not for everyone. There is no yearly budget that gets divided over channels in January. No quarterly plans, no steering committees, no agency that does the real work. We build hype drop by drop, in weeks, not quarters: an idea from Monday can be live on Friday, and the plan changes the day culture changes. If that sounds exhausting, stop reading. If it sounds like freedom, keep going. /p pYou lead and scale our brand team: PR, talent, content and social, projects, partnerships and photography. That's a lot of creative people with a lot of ideas. You pick the right ones, kill the wrong ones and make sure everything lands on time. You report directly to our founder, who is also our Creative Director. You're the link between him and the team: you turn his direction into work the team can execute, you push back when something doesn't fit, and you make sure the team never drowns in the pace. Fast, but under control. /p br/ h3What you'll be doing /h3 ul lipLead and coach the brand team of 7
