Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've run social media and email marketing for a D2C/e-commerce brand and know Shopify + Klaviyo inside-out
  • You're comfortable being both strategic and tactical—jumping between campaign planning and hands-on content creation
  • You have professional photography or visual content skills (or can direct/edit product photos to brand standards)
  • You want to own the full digital funnel and build a team under you, not just execute tasks
Won't Work If
  • You expect a fully built team or large headcount from day one—this is a builder role in a lean organization
  • You're not willing to get hands-on with content creation, photography, or Shopify backend management
  • You need full remote flexibility—this role is 100% on-site in Los Angeles
