Printfresh is a joyful lifestyle brand beloved for our bold, hand-painted prints and size-inclusive sleepwear and apparel. As we expand into more categories, we’re seeking to bring our whimsical, maximalist world to the spaces our customers cherish most, their homes. From bedding to tabletop, we believe in surrounding everyday rituals with beauty and comfort.
We are hiring a Director of Licensing & Collaborations to run two growing parts of our business: licensing Printfresh prints to other brands and creating collections with other companies' IP (like our bestselling Gilmore Girls capsule ).
On the licensing side, you'll work with our agency (Jewel) to find the right partners and manage those deals. On the collaboration side, you'll lead each project from first convo to GTM.
This is a full-time position with a hybrid schedule, working in our Philadelphia office Tuesdays through Thursdays and from home on Mondays and Fridays.
