About the Role:

Dr. Squatch is looking for a Director of Brand Marketing to lead strategic partnerships, licensing and limited-edition development, along with influencer marketing and integrated campaigns that build cultural relevance and drive business growth.

Reporting to the VP of Marketing, this people leader will bring a strong point of view on the partners, talent and ideas that belong in the Dr. Squatch brand. You’ll connect with Gen Z while strengthening our appeal to core millennial consumers, and turn cultural insights into memorable campaigns across digital channels and real-world experiences.

The ideal candidate combines sound brand judgment with hands-on execution. You can recognize a breakout idea, build its business case and lead the complex work required to bring it to market.

This is a full-time, hybrid role with company benefits, based in Marina Del Rey, CA.

The anticipated base compensation range for this role will be $150,000 to $195,000. Compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and local market rates.

What You'll Do:

Brand Strategy and Cultural Relevance
- Translate brand and business priorities into a focused partnership and campaign roadmap that recruits new households and strengthens consumer engagement.
- Bring an informed point of view on entertainment, sports, music, gaming and lifestyle. Distinguish lasting audience relevance from a short-lived trend.
- Evaluate opportunities against audience fit, brand distinctiveness, cultural impact and commercial potential. Protect Dr. Squatch’s voice and humor across every collaboration.
Partnerships Licensing and Limited Editions
- Lead the partnership pipeline from idea and outreach through evaluation, negotiation, activation and renewal, working with Legal and Finance on deal terms and economics.
- Develop compelling collaboration and limited-edition concepts with Product and Creative, connecting the partner to the product, fragrance and consumer experience.
- Manage licensor and partner relationships, rights, usage terms and approval workflows. Coordinate launch timing with product readiness and commercial opportunities.
Integrated Campaigns and Celebrity Talent
- Lead complex campaigns from brief and creative development through production, launch and evaluation, integrating digital content with events and experiential activations.
- Manage celebrity-focused campaigns with talent teams and agencies, including deliverables, production needs, approvals and usage rights.
- Partner with Creative, Paid Media, Shopper Marketing, PR and Commerce teams to connect campaign storytelling with retail, DTC, Amazon and social commerce activation.
Influencer Strategy and Earned Attention
- Lead influencer strategy across organic advocacy, paid partnerships and creator amplification. Select talent for audience relevance, creative credibility and performance.
- Develop earned-media opportunities with PR partners and translate cultural moments into stories and experiences people want to share.
Team Leadership Operations and Measurement
- Manage and develop the team, set clear priorities and provide direct feedback. Hold agencies and partners accountable for the quality and delivery of their work.
- Own program budgets and maintain detailed timelines, deliverables and approval plans. Anticipate dependencies and resolve risks before they disrupt execution.
- Define objectives and KPIs with channel owners. Evaluate audience growth, engagement, earned attention and commercial results, and use findings to improve future investment.
- Present recommendations and results clearly to leadership, connecting the strategic opportunity to the execution details and financial implications.
