Marketing Director

 About the position:

We’re looking for a Marketing Director to take the reins for the overall strategy and success of KraveBeauty’s marketing and communications program directing all aspects of internal and external digital marketing; brand messaging; content marketing; media relations; event management; and overall brand management. You’ll be overseeing the entire Marketing and Creative department and reporting to the General Manager and working closely with the Founder/CEO to translate the company’s vision and mission into all consumer-facing channels.


A successful Marketing Director at KraveBeauty is: 

  • A marketer who knows how to craft a voice and build an audience for KraveBeauty
  • A marketer who knows how to propel KraveBeauty’s organic growth and strategically expand the customer base without relying on new product launches
  • A coaching leader who seeks and values the team’s input and knows how to nurture, coach, and develop the team members
  • A fast and agile marketer that encourage the team to experiment and execute their ideas

A little list of things that motivates us to do our job at KB:

  • We are interested in doing well by doing good
  • We want to slow down the fast-beauty industry
  • We want to make sure the space is as inclusive as possible by normalizing normals
  • The beauty industry has operated on maximizing profits at the expense of excluding people and harming the environment. Clean beauty, non-toxic beauty, euro-centric beauty standards, 20 step skincare routine, etc—all have a common theme to sell more products. We’re interested in reinventing how we do capitalism moving forward
  • We don’t want to grow by creating unnecessary demands. We believe it’s more on-brand for us to sell 1 product to 10 people rather than selling 10 products to 1 person.

Responsibilities

  • Brand Management: day-to-day stewardship of the brand across all marketing channels and touchpoints, in partnership with the CEO & GM. The Brand Marketing Manager will collaborate with cross-functional teams - from Product Development, Community Management, Digital Marketing to Creative department to aggregate insights and develop 360-strategies to increase brand awareness.
  • Customer insight analysis: Drive marketing effort by leveraging data from customer & community’s feedback
  • Trends: Build and maintain an understanding of industry trends to make informed recommendations about brand and communications strategy.
  • Content marketing & Social Media Marketing: oversee content, planning, social media strategy and growth of organic social media channels including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest
  • Partnerships & Collaborations: develop on-brand marketing partnerships & collaborations, both ongoing and project based, as well as vet inbound partnership, sponsorship, and collaboration opportunities.
  • Influencer Partnership Strategy: develop on-brand influencer partnership strategy that’s aligned with the brand values and rollout plans for building and fostering a community around the brand to generate word-of-mouth buzz and grassroots awareness.
  • Public Relations: work with PR agency to manage all press and media relationships. Develop media kits and write press releases; secure brand-enhancing coverage; and product seeding -- with the goal of increasing brand awareness and PR value.
  • Events & Activations: end-to-end management of brand events, activations, and sponsorships to increase brand awareness, foster community and support business goals - including in-store and remote.

Requirements

  • 8-10 years of experience in marketing, preferably in the D2C consumer brand
  • Minimum 4 years of leadership experience with a successful track record leading and growing a marketing team
  • Experience in global marketing is a plus
  • Strong understanding and experience in the digitally-native consumer brand sector
  • Strong leadership skills, entrepreneurial attitude, and can-do mentality
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and thrive in a fast-moving yet collaborative environment
  • Proven track record of working in a metrics-driven environment
