DTC Marketing Director (Owned Brands)

Salary range: $90,000–$110,000, based on experience

Overview
At Nile, our owned brands don’t just sell products — they build communities. Googan Squad and Barra Airguns have millions of combined social followers, deeply loyal audiences, and creator-driven energy that sets them apart. We’re looking for a DTC Marketing Director who can harness that momentum and turn it into revenue: someone who owns the campaign calendar, holds agencies accountable, and keeps a relentless eye on traffic, conversion, and results. This role reports to the VP of Marketing and directly manages two direct reports.

If you love building marketing engines that move the needle across multiple brands and channels — and you thrive on being the person who gets campaigns out the door on time, on budget, and on target — this role is for you.

Why Nile Commerce?
At Nile Commerce, we help brands win wherever customers shop — online or in-store. Our marketing team builds the programs that drive awareness, acquisition, and loyalty for the brands we grow.

Our culture is built on three core values: Launch into the Deep : pursue excellence relentlessly; Go One More Mile : stay disciplined, keep commitments, and push through setbacks; and Give More Than You Receive : build lasting relationships through humility, gratitude, and generosity.

Nile Commerce offers a comprehensive benefits package including health coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and paid parental leave.
