• Develop and execute marketing initiatives for the B2B trade program, attracting and retaining high-value interior designers, architects, and hospitality clients in partnership with the sales team.

• Manage the overall marketing budget, vendor relationships, agency partnerships, contracts, and renewals.

• Integrate creative development with performance marketing by briefing campaigns, structuring creative tests, analyzing results, and applying insights to improve outcomes.

• Lead email, SMS, and lifecycle marketing for both consumer and trade audiences, balancing engagement, content, retention, and revenue generation.

• Coordinate promotional campaigns with merchandising teams while maintaining agreed profitability and margin targets.

• Oversee organic social media and customer review channels, including Instagram, Pinterest, and Trustpilot.

• Manage affiliate marketing programs end to end, including partner performance, editorial relationships, and publisher collaborations.

• Establish reliable cross-channel measurement and reporting in collaboration with finance and data teams to support informed business decisions.

• Own the go-to-market strategy and marketing calendar, translating quarterly brand and trend direction into product launches, campaigns, and seasonal initiatives.

• Coordinate campaign planning and execution across merchandising, creative, and trade teams to ensure consistent delivery.

• Lead, mentor, and develop the marketing team, including email and SMS, creative, and copywriting specialists, while managing external performance marketing partners.

• Define team priorities, establish clear responsibilities, and determine future hiring needs as the business grows.

• Drive first-year outcomes, including profitable marketing growth, stronger trade acquisition, trusted measurement practices, and continued team development.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate is a commercially minded marketing leader with strong e-commerce expertise, a creative perspective, and the analytical skills needed to turn marketing investment into sustainable profitability.

• At least 7 years of experience in e-commerce marketing, including 3 or more years leading performance marketing and managing budgets.

• Hands-on expertise in Google Ads, Meta advertising, affiliate marketing, and multi-channel campaign optimization.

• Demonstrated success driving profitable growth rather than focusing solely on revenue or acquisition volume.

• Experience marketing to B2B or trade audiences, such as designers, architects, hospitality professionals, or other business buyers, or a well-developed strategy for building these segments.

• Experience owning a marketing budget or P&L and partnering with finance on forecasting, contribution margin, and profitability-driven investment decisions.

• Strong understanding of how creative strategy influences performance, including the ability to develop briefs, structure experiments, and interpret creative testing results.

• A strong eye for design, branding, and product storytelling, with the ability to distinguish compelling creative from ineffective messaging.

• Comfort working with marketing analytics and measurement tools, including GA4 and BigQuery or comparable platforms.

• Proven ability to manage, coach, and develop a small team while coordinating external agencies and business partners.

• A builder's mindset, with the ability to introduce structure, establish priorities, and remain hands-on in a lean, fast-moving environment.

• Experience in home furnishings, furniture, or design-led retail is a plus.

• Familiarity with Klaviyo for email and SMS marketing, as well as Instagram and Pinterest for organic social media, is advantageous.

• Strong communication, analytical thinking, collaboration, and leadership skills.

• Ability to work remotely and collaborate effectively with a distributed team.
