Vice President Marketing
Pair of Thieves, El Segundo, CA, United States
At Pair of Thieves, we make basics that are anything but basic. Socks, underwear, tees—built to perform, designed to stand out, and sold everywhere from Target to your top drawer. We’re a brand that moves fast, thinks differently, and expects a lot from the people building it.
We’re looking for our most senior marketing leader—a VP of Marketing who knows how to take great product and turn it into something people can’t ignore.
This is not a “manage the machine” role.
This is a build it, own it, make it better role.
What You’ll Do
Own marketing end-to-end — from product storytelling to brand campaigns to retail execution
Build and lead the marketing function — team, structure, processes, and output
Translate product into demand — create compelling narratives that drive conversion across DTC, Amazon, and retail
Lead product marketing — positioning, launches, naming, packaging, and in-store storytelling
Drive brand marketing — campaigns, social, influencer, and cultural relevance
Win in big box retail — develop marketing that works inside Target, Walmart, and beyond
Partner cross-functionally — especially with Product, Sales, and Finance to ensure alignment from concept to shelf
Own go-to-market strategy — seasonal drops, key launches, and retail moments
Raise the bar on creative — ensure everything we put into the world looks and feels like Pair of Thieves
Use data to drive decisions — understand POS, sell-through, and performance marketing signals
Who You Are
10–15+ years in marketing, with meaningful leadership experience
Deep product marketing expertise — you know how to position, launch, and scale product
Big box retail experience is required (Target, Walmart, Costco, etc.)
CPG fluency — you understand velocity, shelf, turns, and what actually drives purchase
Brand builder — you can create something people care about, not just something that sells

Builder mindset — you’ve built teams, not just inherited them
Comfortable in a fast-moving, scrappy environment — no hand-holding, no silos
Strong point of view — you know what good looks like and aren’t afraid to push for it

Clear, compelling product storytelling across every channel
Stronger retail performance driven by better marketing and execution
A brand people recognize, remember, and come back to
