Brand Experience and Development Manager

Brand Experience And Development Manager

To continue to co-construct the next chapter and beyond, we are looking for creative, organized and agile talents, who share our passion to perpetually improve all that can be.
Care to imagine what comes next with us? We can't wait to hear from you!
We are seeking the talents of a Brand Experience and Development Manager to join our US Team and contribute to the next chapter of Szane's journey in the United States and Canada. This position is based in Los Angeles and will require regular travel.
About the Role
This is a foundational brand hire across two markets - Octobre ditions is building its first dedicated US team, and Szane is expanding its presence in Canada. In this role, you will define how both Octobre and Szane show up physically and culturally in their respective markets. Working closely with the Paris team on brand direction, you will have significant autonomy in how that translates locally - the casting, the spaces, the moments, and the people we align with.
Octobre ditions - United States
Own the full brand experience in the US: pop-ups, shop-in-shops, events, and the opening of our first NY flagship boutique
Lead physical activations end-to-end - site selection, execution, press, and community moments
Build and manage influencer and creator relationships that introduce Octobre to a new American audience: editorial relationships with the stylists and writers who shape premium menswear taste, a community of mid-size creators in our highest-converting markets, and a structured approach to the organic UGC already appearing without any investment
Work closely with the Paris team on brand direction while translating it into something that feels genuinely local - the casting, the spaces, the people, the moments
Szane - Canada
Build local influencer and creator relationships across key markets (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver)
Identify pop-up and wholesale opportunities that reflect Szane's editorial standard and execute these special projects
Give structure and momentum to a market with real organic traction and no dedicated support yet
