About the role

RTR is looking for a Head of Brand and Performance Marketing to own the strategy and long-term direction that shapes how the world sees, discovers, and loves Rent the Runway. This is a VP-level role with a broad mandate: brand strategy and positioning, integrated marketing, social and creators, partnerships, communications, and performance marketing across paid acquisition and retention.

What they're looking for

  • You have owned performance marketing and paid media at scale, and can speak fluently to CAC, LTV, ROAS, attribution, and media-mix decisions - and to how performance and brand reinforce one another across the funnel
  • You have set brand strategy at a level that has had measurable, multi-year impact on brand awareness, consideration, and customer trust and you can speak to that impact in business terms
  • You build and develop leaders who are themselves responsible for leading others. You have a track record of building high-performance teams and creating the conditions for people to do the best work of their careers
  • You have strong creative instincts and know how to partner with a creative team effectively. You give a brief that gets great work, and give feedback that makes the work better without diluting the vision
  • You communicate with clarity and conviction at every altitude, from a brand strategy presentation to the SVP to a brief for the creative team. Your thinking is sharp and your communication is direct
  • You have experience in fashion, retail, lifestyle, or direct-to-consumer. You understand the relationship between product, brand perception, and customer loyalty, and you understand the RTR customer
