Head of Growth (DTC & Ecommerce)
Hybrid role - Flexible up to 5 days a month in London
Role Context
Rock Face is on a mission to significantly increase its Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) sales, with a targeted focus on ecommerce, Tik Tok and Amazon. The brand currently has a solid DTC infrastructure but is looking to become a DTC leader.
We are seeking a hands-on Head of Growth who will be responsible for driving our DTC growth strategy, particularly through ecommerce channels, Tik Tok and Amazon. Initially the individual will effectively manage, coordinate, and push existing marketing agencies (CRM, paid media, Amazon, ecommerce, influencer and affiliate) but will be responsible for defining the future roadmap and org chart of the function as the channel grows in size.
This role will report directly to the CMO and will work closely with leadership across brand, sales, and product. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role where you’ll lead agency partners and collaborate cross-functionally; direct reports will be granted as the channel scales.

The brand has strong UK distribution where it is featured in every retailer with the exception of Superdrug.In February 2025, the team secured £2.5M investment in a funding round in order to expand the team and marketing budgets.

As the only challenger brand in the men’s mass category, Rock Face prides itself on bringing innovation to a stagnant category filled with legacy brands.
You’ll be joining a fast-growing company led by a leadership team with deep experience driving growth for some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands. Our team brings together FMCG pedigree from companies like L’Oréal, Diageo, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Ikea, and Sainsbury’s, alongside high-growth challenger expertise—including leading the growth of Wild, one of the UK’s fastest-growing refillable personal care brands, recently acquired by Unilever.
