About the Company

Our client is a leader in high-end interior surfaces — an encompassing lifestyle brand specializing in the fine manufacture of luxury architectural finishes, from hardwood and vinyl flooring to wall coverings and beyond. Every collection is a design statement, blending nature, fashion, and architecture.

They are appreciated by some of the most well-respected brands in the world, including Whole Foods, Saks Fifth Avenue, Augusta National Golf Club, Ian Schrager hotels, and The Ritz-Carlton. The brand is entering a new phase of growth.

What You'll Do

• Partner with the CEO to translate brand vision and strategy into an executable marketing plan and drive that plan forward independently
• Own brand positioning, messaging, and creative direction day to day
• Lead product launch execution end to end, including the unglamorous logistics (renderings, timelines, cross-functional coordination) that make a launch land cleanly
• Drive customer engagement, events, digital growth, and sales support
• Own content and copy creation across channels
• Proactively identify and build a strong pipeline of designer and influencer partnerships to extend brand visibility
• Manage and elevate outside creative and marketing partners, including existing agency relationships and photography resources
• Bring organization, prioritization, and follow-through
• Partner closely with Sales and leadership to identify opportunities that drive awareness, specifications, and revenue

   

Who You Are:

• Experience in a brand-driven category, ideally within premium, luxury, design, fashion, interiors, or lifestyle
• A strong blend of strategic thinking, taste level, commercial awareness, and executional discipline — comfortable operating with minimal oversight and high trust
• Experience managing outside creative agencies and freelance partners
• Someone who wants to build, not just maintain — energized by a lean, still-forming marketing organization rather than needing an established playbook
• Brings a real point of view and isn't shy about sharing it — takes an idea, elevates it, runs with it, and brings their own thinking back rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Collaborative and genuinely curious, eager to learn from a founder who's deeply invested in the brand he built
• Based in or willing to relocate to San Diego, CA
