The Role
This is a senior leadership role focused on providing strategic marketing guidance and oversight across our clients' brand and growth initiatives.

This role will enable the founder to step back from day-to-day marketing management and focus on broader strategic and external initiatives.
You are both brand-obsessed and data-driven. You understand beauty (bonus points for hair care), and you know how to build an emotional connection while keeping a close eye on measurable growth.
