Wolf & Badger is on a mission to make retail fair. Supporting our community of independent designers from more than 70 countries, we connect customers with fashion, design, home and beauty from brands vetted against our sustainability guarantees, through our online marketplace and flagship stores in London, New York City and Los Angeles. We are a scale-up business based in the UK and US and a Certified B Corporation, with social and environmental purpose at the core of everything we do. We were the first UK online marketplace to become a certified B Corp, have been recognized by the Financial Times as one of Europe's Long-Term Growth Champions, and were one of the first marketplaces globally to take orders placed by AI shopping agents.
The US is our priority growth market, and we want Wolf & Badger to be known across America as the place to discover independent fashion and design. We are looking for a bold and commercially minded Head of PR & Partnerships to make that happen. Reporting to our Chief Content & Sustainability Officer, working closely with the CEO, and based in our SoHo office, around the corner from our flagship store, you will be the senior face of Wolf & Badger in New York: the person press, creators and marketing partners turn to.
This is a senior generalist role with PR at its core. Alongside earned media, you will own our US creator program, events and marketing partnerships, and you will be judged above all on making Wolf & Badger more widely known in the US: top-tier coverage, creator reach and share of voice, and the demand they create alongside our growth marketing team. You will set PR strategy across our UK and US markets, working closely with colleagues at our London HQ, and own the budget for PR, events and marketing partnerships. Day to day you will work with our Brand Partnerships team, our New York store, our growth marketing team, our London content and social teams, and our US creative agency.
At Wolf & Badger we champion a low-ego environment where cross-functional debate is encouraged in order to reach the best outcomes. We strive to be mission-oriented and fair at all times, and you will join us in growing an engaged, forward-thinking and high-functioning team.
This is a full-time role based in our SoHo office 3+ days per week, with regular time in our New York store and occasional travel to London and Los Angeles.
