VP of Brand in Bournemouth

About Gozney

At Gozney, we’re on a mission to change the way the world cooks outdoors. Since 2010, Gozney has made cooking with fire easy by pioneering next‑level pizza ovens – award-winning, high-performing, durable tools that are beautiful, designed for chefs, and intuitive for beginners. We are creators of new experiences, and we’re seeking motivated individuals to join our expanding team and embark on an incredible journey. We are passionate, innovative, bold, and relentless, all while having a ton of fun – whether you’re excited about pizza, outstanding products, food culture, lifestyle, the outdoors, or simply looking for a company that truly values you.

The Role

We don’t just make pizza ovens and this isn't just another brand role. You'll be responsible for defining, protecting and evolving one of the most exciting brands in outdoor living. Reporting to the CMO, you'll set the strategic direction for the Gozney brand, ensuring it remains distinctive, relevant and commercially impactful as we continue to grow around the world.

Key responsibilities:

• Set the direction for the Gozney brand: You'll own the long-term direction of the Gozney brand, making sure it evolves as we continue to grow without losing what makes it distinctive. And you'll develop clear ways of measuring brand health, ensuring we're investing our time and energy where it has the greatest impact.
• Lead PR, Social & Community: You'll lead our global PR, Social and Community teams, bringing them together behind one clear brand vision. You'll create alignment across every brand touchpoint, ensuring our campaigns, creator partnerships, press stories, social content and community experiences all tell one consistent story.
• Build a brand people want to belong to: You'll create campaigns, stories and experiences that people genuinely connect with, building emotional connection far beyond the products themselves.
• Put the consumer at the centre: Everything starts with the consumer. You'll develop a deep understanding of who they are, what motivates them and how that changes across different markets.
• Make Brand everyone's responsibility: Brand shouldn't sit inside Marketing. It should influence every part of the business. You'll work closely with Product, Commercial, Retail, Sales, Customer Experience and Operations to create one connected customer experience.
• Balance creativity with commercial performance: Great brands create commercial results. You'll partner closely with the VP of Growth to ensure our brand and performance marketing work hand in hand.
• Protect and evolve the brand: As Gozney grows, consistency matters more than ever. You'll own our global brand guidelines and create the tools and frameworks that allow teams around the world to move quickly without losing what makes Gozney feel like Gozney.
• Lead beyond your function: This role isn't just about leading Brand. You'll be one of the cultural leaders of the business.
