Director Of Brand Marketing

AboutREBEL

REBEL is the first and largest tech platform transforming retail's $1 trillion returns problem into a smarter, more sustainable model. As the only Certified B Corporation returns recommerce marketplace backed by top-tier investors, we're leading the returns revolution - partnering with over 2,500 top brands to give shoppers unbeatable deals of up to 70% off on open-box products, while keeping millions of pounds of returns out of landfills every year.

This role is for a builder: strategic enough to set direction for a channel, and energized by doing the work, not outsourcing it.

TheRole

The Director of Brand Marketing leads REBEL's organic brand presence and is accountable for growing brand awareness, engagement, and earned reach. You'll set the strategy for how REBEL shows up on social and in the press, and you'll personally execute against it alongside a lean team.

You'll partner with the CEO and leadership on REBEL's overall brand positioning, then translate it into content, campaigns, and cultural moments that travel. Success will be measured through a combination of brand, engagement, creator, earned media, and commercial performance metrics.
