When one of the world’s most iconic fashion brands comes calling, do you answer? YES!!!

We would.

Especially when it’s calling for a brilliant Brand Manager to step into a Cape Town role with serious brand power, global clout and one hell of an opportunity attached.

This is a career move with style, substance and more than a little sizzle.

You’ll help shape how this iconic brand shows up across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, bringing global thinking to life locally and putting your own strategic and creative stamp on the work along the way. Think big brand. Big reach. Big opportunity to make an impact. Your chance to help an already brilliant brand shine even brighter.

This is for the marketer who gets a kick out of seeing a brand everywhere – online, in-store, in culture, in conversation – and knowing they helped put it there. Someone commercially sharp, strategically switched on and genuinely excited by fashion, retail and the beautiful chaos of making brilliant marketing happen. Someone who knows that behind every effortlessly cool brand moment is a whole lot of smart thinking, sharp execution and serious hustle.

FEELING THE PULL?

Good. Because we’re looking for someone who can do more than simply Brand Management.

We want a self-starter with a passion for fashion, a head for business and an instinct for brands – someone who brings energy, curiosity, confidence and yes, a little swagger to the table.

If the thought of putting your talent behind one of the world’s most exciting fashion brands has already got your attention, trust your instincts. Step up, stand out and show us what you’ve got. Apply today!
