About DKK Brands

DKK Brands is looking for an exceptional early-career talent to work directly with our CMO.

This is for someone who wants to move from analyzing businesses tobuilding one.

DKK Brands is the company behindESPRO, LIITON and VIVA.

What makes us different is how much of the business we actually own.

We identify consumer opportunities, create products, manufacture them, build the brands, sell through e-commerce and retail, and learn directly from customers.

Our teams operate across Toronto, Qingdao, Karachi and other markets, giving you exposure to how a global consumer company works from product idea to customer.

You won't be responsible for one small piece of the machine. You'll get to understand the whole thing.

What You'll Do

Working directly with the CMO, you will:

• Drive strategic projects and business analysis
• Work on e-commerce growth and performance marketing
• Project manage marketing campaigns from brief through execution
• Coordinate creative, media, agencies and internal teams
• Turn data and research into clear recommendations
• Manage important projects from idea through completion
• Track timelines, owners and deliverables
• Identify risks early and push projects to resolution
• Challenge how things are done and find better solutions
• Take increasing ownership of work currently sitting with the CMO
• Manage the CMO's calendar, meetings, priorities and follow-ups
• Coordinate travel, itineraries and logistics
• Prepare meetings, capture decisions and make sure actions get completed
• Protect the CMO's time and continuously find ways to make it more effective
• Handle occasional personal and administrative matters when needed

The role requires someone equally comfortable working on a growth problem, driving a campaign across multiple teams, and making sure the details around tomorrow's priorities are right.

Who We're Looking For

2 to 4 years at McKinsey, BCG, Bain or a comparable top-tier strategy consulting firm.

We are looking for a rare combination of creativity and discipline.

You:

• Have a real passion for creating things
• Think outside the box and challenge obvious answers
• Have exceptional analytical and commercial ability
• Notice details other people miss
• Are highly disciplined and organized
• Follow through without being chased
• Learn unfamiliar subjects unusually fast
• Communicate clearly and concisely
• Have high ownership and low ego
• Can move easily between strategy and hands-on execution
• Are comfortable owning both high-level work and small details
• Understand that no task is beneath you if it helps the CMO and the business operate better

We are particularly interested in people excited byconsumer brands, e-commerce, growth and campaign execution.

Why Join

The biggest benefit is the opportunity itself.

You will work directly beside the CMO and get unusually broad exposure tostrategy, marketing, e-commerce, retail and leadershipearly in your career.

As you prove yourself, the responsibility grows.

There is no predetermined next job. The goal is to develop someone capable of taking on a much larger leadership role over the next several years.

Benefits

• Competitive Toronto-market compensation
• Annual performance bonus
• Extended health, dental, vision and wellness benefits
• Paid time off
• Paid sick days
• Learning and professional development support
• Gym and wellness benefits
• Free DKK products when new products launch
• Free coffee at ESPRO Coffee Bar
• Team dinners and company offsites
• Opportunities to travel internationally with leadership

If you want a predictable corporate ladder, this probably isn't the role.

If you want tocreate, learn fast, solve difficult problems and eventually run things, we want to meet you.
