Senior Marketing Manager

Job Description

Company Overview

\n

\n

At AFFORM, we believe organization is an art, one where function and form are never in competition, but in conversation. Formerly known as Parallelle, AFFORM recently entered an exciting new chapter as our brand continues to grow beyond where we began. Our new name is rooted in our design philosophy: A Functional Form, reflecting our belief that beauty and utility should always work together. Our story began with The Travellers, our patented and thoughtfully designed beauty bag created to bring order to everyday routines. What started with one innovative product has grown into a broader mission centered on intentional design, everyday functionality, and creating products that help people move through life with greater ease and confidence.

\n

\n

Founded by Annie Fan, whose 20 plus years of experience designing for leading beauty brands informs every product, AFFORM is now expanding into new product categories and new markets while staying true to the principles that have guided us from the beginning. As we enter this next phase of growth, we remain focused on thoughtful design, purposeful innovation, and helping our customers Arrive Organized!

Job Overview

\n

\n

We are seeking a Senior Marketing Manager to join our Brand Marketing and Digital team at a pivotal moment in AFFORM's growth. Reporting directly to our Director of Brand Marketing and Digital, this is a new senior role on the team, built for an experienced marketer who can take strategy and turn it into work that ships on time and on brand. The Senior Marketing Manager will own the planning and execution of integrated marketing across AFFORM, bringing structure and consistency to how campaigns, launches, and content come together across brand, social, email, eCommerce, and partnerships.

\n

\n

With AFFORM newly rebranded, expanding into new product categories, and preparing to enter international markets, our marketing function is growing in both scope and ambition, and this role sits at the center of that growth. You will partner closely with our Director of Revenue as well as our Product Development, Production, and Wholesale teams to make sure every launch is planned well in advance and every department knows what is coming and when. You will also help guide and develop the junior members of our marketing and creative team, giving them clear direction and real ownership so the team can do its best work. The right person is equal parts strategist and operator: someone who protects the brand, respects the craft behind great creative, and brings the planning discipline and follow-through that allows a small team to perform like a much larger one.
