Strawberry Paris is more than a brand—it’s a dream of ultra‑luxury boho romance. Inspired by the effortless elegance of Zimmermann and the timeless charm of Chloé, we craft feminine, sun‑kissed collections that blend expert craftsmanship with modern travel‑ready vibes. Every piece is made in top‑tier factories with premium materials to deliver that perfect Parisian escape feeling. As we scale globally with strong momentum, we’re looking for a high‑energy, results‑driven leader to serve as the CEO’s right hand and Brand Director.
The Role
As Brand Director, you’ll report directly to the CEO and be the key operator driving day‑to‑day execution across the business. You’ll lead in a fast‑growing luxury fashion company, overseeing wholesale expansion, marketing execution, production, and overall operations across multiple channels. This is a high‑impact role for someone who thrives on turning ambitious plans into measurable wins and helping us reach customers worldwide.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive Wholesale Sales Growth and Manage Sales Staff: Lead hiring, training, coaching, and continuous performance optimization for the sales team. Closely track metrics, develop data‑driven growth strategies, open new accounts, manage trade show calendars, and cultivate long‑term client relationships for repeat business and revenue growth.
- Boost the Brand with Hands‑On Marketing: Partner with the CEO on targeted strategies including paid ads, influencer collaborations, celebrity placements, and content creation to drive e‑commerce sales, elevate brand awareness, and expand our global footprint.
- Manage Apparel Production, Manufacturing, and Collection Development: Source and manage relationships with top factories worldwide, oversee product development from concept to completion, maintain strict timelines, and produce high‑quality samples, prototypes, and sales materials that wow buyers.
- Lead Key Projects and Day‑to‑Day Office Management: Own project management for major initiatives (CRM implementation, automation tools, sales/customer service systems, etc.). Keep the office running smoothly and ensure all daily operations stay organized and on track.
- Handle Financial Operations and Track KPIs: Manage shipping, accounts receivable (including smooth returns/refunds), accounts payable, collections, and cash flow. Deliver accurate reporting and hit daily, weekly, and monthly targets to protect profitability.
- Support Daily Operations and Strategic Planning: Monitor expenses, provide insightful recommendations, and serve as the CEO’s primary partner on operational decisions and growth strategies.
- Plan for Expansion: Help build out our franchise and partnership program, identifying opportunities to open physical retail presence in key markets that showcase our romantic, luxurious aesthetic.
