We’re not looking for a corporate “boss” or someone who wants to rewire the company from the top down. We want a partner, someone who respects the unique way we run the brand, and brings clarity, rigour and leadership without friction. You’ll need to be flexible enough to work with two different founder personalities, and confident enough to take charge without needing constant direction. You’ll lead by example, not by control.
Salary Range
Monthly salary will be discussed during the interview process, based on experience and qualifications.
