Global Head of Brand Marketing in London

Rise & Fall is one of the UK’s fastest growing startups, reshaping how people buy better. We offer exceptional clothing and homewares, made by the world’s best manufacturers, at prices that are 40–80% lower than traditional luxury. We are the antithesis of fast fashion, committed to sustainability, quality, and conscious consumption. We’re a certified B Corp, use organic and natural materials wherever possible, and are proud to have donated over £30,000 last year to homelessness and women’s support charities. We’ve shipped over 500,000 products, we have been on a rocketship trajectory and are hugely ambitious, with recent launches in the US and Australia. We’re on a mission to become one of the largest luxury goods retailers in the world in the next 10 years and significantly reshape the industry as we grow.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a commercially-minded Head of Brand Marketing to lead the development and execution of our brand strategy and insight-led marketing campaigns across all marketing channels. You’ll sit alongside our Head of Growth and work closely with our founders. Your role is to help set the brand strategy and activate it — building integrated campaigns that drive reach, awareness, engagement, and loyalty. This role is strategic, executional, and operational — it requires someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity and commercial impact. You’ll own how our brand is activated across all earned, owned, paid, and shared channels, and help shape how the world experiences Rise & Fall. We’re a fast-growing team of under 40, and we’re looking for people who want to shape how we work, grow the brand and help build the team. With ambitious growth goals, you’ll play a key role in getting us there.
