Job Summary

• We are seeking a dynamic, highly resourceful, and results-driven Head of Marketing & Partnerships to lead all offline marketing efforts, strategic partnerships, product activations, and experiential campaigns for our fast-growing e-commerce brand.
• This role requires exceptional relationship-building, field execution, and creative marketing skills to drive brand awareness, foot traffic, sales growth, and market penetration — especially across malls, gyms, spas, fitness events, salons, supermarkets, and lifestyle hotspots.
• You will serve as the bridge between the brand and the physical world, activating grassroots-level awareness and managing strategic partnerships while collaborating with the digital marketing team to ensure campaign synergy.

Key Responsibilities
Partnership Development & Management:

• Identify, pitch, and onboard strategic offline partners: gyms, spas, salons, supermarkets, fitness studios, malls, corporate offices, hospitals, and event organizers.
• Design win-win partnership proposals (e.g. product placement, co-branded promos, influencer gyms, referral programs).
• Manage long-term partner relationships and ensure visibility, brand integrity, and mutual value.
• Coordinate all partnership deliverables: branded stands, flyers, sampling logistics, training of reps, etc.

• Work with creative teams and vendors to produce offline marketing materials: branded tents, flyers, banners, POS, posters, wearables, etc.
• Track and report offline campaign ROI and engagement metrics.

Guerrilla & Experiential Marketing:

• Develop innovative non-traditional marketing tactics: flash mobs, branded influencer workouts, PR stunts, viral street activations.
• Leverage influencers or micro-creators for physical brand engagements in high-density locations (e.g. barbershops, markets, etc.).
• Drive buzz and virality through “shock & wow” brand moments.

Retail & POS Marketing:

• Activate brand visibility at retail points: negotiate shelf placements, signage, shelf talkers, product bundling, and discount campaigns.
• Design in-store promotions and customer education touchpoints.
• Supervise retail promoters and ensure performance compliance.

Cross-Functional Marketing Collaboration:

• Work closely with the online marketing team (ads, email, influencers) to ensure consistent messaging and synchronized campaigns.
• Provide field-level insights and customer feedback for digital content optimization.
• Support national product launches and social media campaigns with corresponding offline awareness.
