Role: Brand Manager

The Lounge family is growing! We are looking for a Brand Manager to elevate, innovate and push the brand to new heights. You will work with multiple departments, getting your teeth stuck into a wealth of projects and campaigns.

We are looking for somebody who is passionate about experience, connections, and truly understands the power of a strong brand. Someone with big ideas, new concepts and a passion for everything the brand represents that will help Lounge lead the way.

As the team grows, you'll have the opportunity to grow too, alongside a young brand that is forward-thinking, fast-paced and ever-changing! We would like you to join us on this journey and to become a key player in shaping Lounge's future, contributing to our incredible next steps and influencing the brand's continued growth.

What you will do at Lounge:

• Work closely with the creative team in supporting the ideation phase, always focusing on how this translates across the brand, keeping logistics and budget in mind too.
• Lead on research and insights analysis for campaigns, understanding our strengths and accelerating them, whilst noticing our weaknesses and finding unique ways to develop.
• Research brand topics and complete competitor analysis, then be able to present findings and thoughts on how this influences us as a brand.
• Project manage key campaigns throughout the year, from ideation, to liaising with departments, signing off and communicating plans through to the launch of the campaign.
• Use organisational and project management tools to effectively communicate and plan campaigns and projects.
• Be involved in brand events, from pop-ups to customer HQME events
• Understand the full customer journey and what our audience both wants and expects from us, being able to take a campaign idea and then make it work for the whole brand and connect all the dots with inter-departmental considerations across the board.
• Help support Senior Execs, Brand Execs and Interns, sharing your brand knowledge and helping them develop in their own roles.
• Be a smart negotiator and communicator, maintaining relationships with our talent and external partners as you represent the brand.
• Work with the wider team on organising photoshoots, events and PR; booking talent and locations, handling samples, working on the order of the day and everything that entails.
• Believe the sky is the limit

We would love it if you:

• Are already obsessed with Lounge, and everything we stand for.
• Have experience carrying out industry and competitor research, and the know-how to push the boundaries whilst holding onto key values.
• Have a passion for real experiences, and the confidence to lead on HQ and larger event ideas, researching how to truly connect with our community.
• Have experience in branding, marketing and/or fashion as part of a module or university degree.
