VP of Marketing at Rise Fashion Events | Enhancing Brand Impact & Creative Direction

Rise Fashion Events is a private, invite-only platform dedicated to elevating emerging and independent fashion designers during New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Week. We curate exceptional talent and connect them with top-tier buyers, media, and industry decision-makers — without the ticket-selling gimmicks or empty promises common in the Fashion Week circuit. Our mission is to give designers a professional runway experience and industry access they can’t buy — they have to earn it.

Responsibilities

• Conduct intro calls and email follow-ups with designer applicants who have expressed interest in showcasing.
• Clearly articulate Rise’s value proposition, application criteria, and pricing structure.
• Maintain CRM records and manage communication timelines (no ghosting on our end).
• Identify designers who are a good fit — and respectfully decline those who are not aligned.
• Collaborate with the production team to ensure a smooth handoff after onboarding.
• Occasionally assist with inbound DMs or contact form inquiries.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years experience in sales, client success, or admissions (fashion industry a major plus).
• Excellent phone and email communication skills — professional but warm.
• Strong understanding of or interest in the fashion industry, especially emerging designers and seasonal showcases.
• Confident with handling objections and questions about pricing, structure, or process.
• Self-motivated and organized — you’ll be managing multiple leads and timelines.
• Bonus: Experience with CRMs (e.g., HubSpot, Monday, or Notion-based tracking systems).

Compensation

Commission-based with high-earning potential for top performers. You'll receive a percentage of every confirmed designer booking, plus performance bonuses tied to your close rate and lead engagement. If you're confident in your communication skills and conversion ability, this is a high-upside role with room to grow.

Bonus Points If You:

• Are used to working in a curated or exclusive environment (art, fashion, luxury, etc.).
• Have attended or worked at a Fashion Week or similar creative industry event.
