About the role

You will need to be a builder, a hustler, and a strategist - often all in the same day.
The role will be US remote, with up to 30% domestic travel expected.

Strategic Leadership: Define and execute the company's growth strategy, balancing brand-building with operational and financial discipline.
Sales & Marketing: Drive awareness, sales, and retention through innovative marketing, storytelling, and high-impact partnership strategies.
Celebrity & Talent Leverage: Collaborate directly with the celebrity co-founder to build authentic, scalable campaigns that extend reach and brand credibility.
Retail & Ecosystem Relationships: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with key retail partners, distributors, agencies, and salon professionals.
Fundraising & Investor Relations: Lead capital-raising efforts and maintain transparent, data-driven communication with the board and investor community.
Operational Oversight: Own the P&L, manage budgets, and oversee supply chain to ensure efficient and sustainable growth.
Team Building: Recruit, lead, and inspire a lean but high-performing team - setting a culture of accountability, creativity, and pace.
You will work closely with the founding team to drive growth across all commercial channels: direct-to-consumer (DTC), retail, professional salon, and international distribution.
The ideal candidate is equally at home pitching investors, negotiating retail partnerships, developing launch strategies, and personally picking up the phone to place product on salon shelves.

Has led or contributed meaningfully to a strategic exit or PE-backed growth journey.
