We are looking for a unique individual to lead a strong marketing team. The team has a good grip on the creative direction for the brand, so the weight of the task will be on planning & structure as well as great leadership.

Your job will be to build a best-in-class team and take the reins on one of the most sought-after brands in the premium children’s clothing & accessories categories.

You will be reporting to the CCO and work closely with your good colleagues in the Commercial Management Team: a Sales Director and an E-commerce Director, as well as the rest of the Commercial Team. Together, you will play a key role in unleashing the huge potential in an already internationally successful company. You will have full autonomy over your team, ranging from marketing strategy, content creation, influencers to PR, and manage everything within the space of marketing.

  • Is never afraid to take a hands-on approach, as the team at times will be fully loaded managing the many tasks of growing our brand

  • It is by no means a requirement that you are a mother yourself, but as the Konges Sløjd brand has a mantra of celebrating motherhood, it is of course key that you really “get” the target audience

The responsibilities:
  • Develop long-term brand and marketing strategy and annual commercial and marketing plans, including business plan, marketing calendar, media mix allocation, innovative product development, promotions, pricing, and digital initiatives

  • Responsible for allocation of marketing budget among different projects

  • Ensure a high brand awareness and customer pull in selected markets

  • Be an active part of the Commercial Management team

  • Have scoped and implemented the ideal team to achieve the goals, consisting of content creation, organic SoMe, PR, influencers and more

  • Based on the strategy, set clear and ambitious goals for your team, and follow through with them

  • Have reached your KPIs within brand awareness and brand perception

What qualifications should the Marketing Director have?
  • >5 years of experience from working with for a global premium brand.

  • Perfect balance between a strategic approach, critical thinking, and action orientation whilst happy to roll up sleeves and get things done

  • Minimum 3 years management experience

  • Strong project management skills and agency experience

  • An ongoing interest in what’s next, and the ability to suggest what’s right for Konges Sløjd at a given point in time
