The ideal candidate has exceptional taste, a strong understanding of THE GREAT.'s customer, an instinct for relevant people, brands, and cultural moments, and the organizational skills to independently manage multiple projects.

We're a collaborative, creative, and hands-on team. We value people who take initiative, bring a strong point of view, build meaningful relationships, and care deeply about the details.

WHO YOU ARE

• You have 4–5+ years of experience in brand marketing, partnerships, community, experiential marketing, or a related field, ideally within fashion, lifestyle, or a creatively driven consumer brand.
