Weezie is a design-forward luxury bath and home brand recently dubbed by Inc. a “cool girl status symbol.” Launched in 2018, we’ve since landed on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies two years running, and count Gwyneth Paltrow and Mindy Kaling among our fans. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial leader to build our licensing program from the ground up and grow our partnerships into a true pillar of the brand. You’ll own licensing and partnerships end to end: managing our relationships with licensors, building the systems that keep approvals, compliance, and royalty reporting running smoothly, and prospecting the next schools, Greek organizations, and more. On the partnerships side, you’ll project manage brand collaborations, co-branded launches, and special projects from kickoff to launch, keeping every partner, timeline, and deliverable on track. Reporting to the VP of Brand, you’ll work closely with Product, Business Development, Creative, Web, and more so every partnership feels unmistakably Weezie.

Own our relationships with licensors, managing each as an account with a regular cadence of check-ins, performance updates, and renewals. Prospect and secure new licenses, and build a pipeline of future licensing partners.

Partner with Product Development and our embroidery team on stitch-outs, thread colors, and samples, making sure licensor requirements are built into every design. Own royalty reporting, invoicing, and licensor portal entry, partnering with Finance to track sales and royalties accurately and building out support as the program grows. Negotiate and close agreements, brand collaborations, and strategic partnerships. Collaborate on go-to-market campaigns for licensed collections with the Brand team, from launch moments to pop-ups, campus activations, influencer seeding and more. Project manage Weezie’s brand partnerships and special projects end to end, from timelines and briefs to approvals, deliverables, and launch. Keep Product, Creative, Web, Growth, and our partners aligned so every collaboration ships on time and feels distinctly Weezie.
