A new opening has emerged for a Brand Director to lead the charge in shaping and scaling the brand.
This requires a proven Brand Director, with a sharp commercial instinct and a strong background in fashion or apparel. Someone who understands the rhythm of the seasons, the pressure of trading, and the power of building a brand people connect with.
As Brand Director, you'll own the full brand and marketing strategy, from big-picture creative to performance-led campaigns. You'll lead the brand's voice across channels, manage a high-performing team, and work closely with key business functions to drive both awareness and revenue growth.
Key Responsibilities

* Omni-channel Focus: Oversee brand delivery across all customer touchpoints - from eCommerce and social to retail and wholesale.
* Team Leadership: Build and lead a talented marketing team, championing a culture of creativity, data-led thinking and accountability.
* Commercial Accountability: Ensure marketing activity drives acquisition, engagement, and conversion - supporting revenue targets and brand health.
* Creative Direction: Evolve and elevate brand storytelling through digital content, campaigns, packaging, and community engagement.
* Customer Insight: Keep your ear to the ground - use data, customer feedback, and market trends to guide decisions and refine messaging.
* Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Buying, Merchandising, eCommerce, and Retail to ensure alignment on seasonal plans and product drops.
What We're Looking For
* A Brand Director with a solid track record of building and scaling brands within clothing, fashion or lifestyle sectors.
* Strong understanding of omni-channel strategies and how to tailor messaging across platforms.
* Background in apparel is essential - you'll understand seasonality, product life cycles and go-to-market planning.
* Confident leading a brand from both a creative and commercial perspective.
* Results-driven, innovative and collaborative in style - equally comfortable in the boardroom and the brainstorm.
* An inspiring team leader with a hands-on attitude.
If you're a proven Brand Director ready to lead from the front, shape a compelling brand story, and drive growth through exceptional marketing, we'd love to hear from you.
