Job description

Community Manager

FRESCOBOL CARIOCA honours the Brazilian beach sport, frescobol, born in 1945 on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach. Echoing the spirit of its origin, the brand brings together signature handcrafted bats and hand‑drawn prints to create ready‑to‑wear, swimwear and accessories that honour Rio’s vibrant beach‑to‑city lifestyle.

Inspired by Rio de Janeiro, we believe summer is more than a season, summering is a mindset. A balance of sea & city, leisure & spontaneity, unhurried experiences – a serene game of frescobol with no mandated beginning or end. It’s not a place or a plan, but a way of being, lived and quietly passed on.

• Oversee press requests, samples, and product loans, maintaining an organised and efficient process.

Requirements

• Exceptional communicator: personable, responsive, tactful and relationship‑driven.
• Highly organised with strong operational follow‑through.
• Comfortable managing multiple moving pieces across gifting, PR, and community channels.
