Marketing Associate

Dagne Dover is looking for a NYC-based Marketing Associate. While this individual will have the opportunity to work on various projects, both remote and at our Soho store, their main focus will be on executing Dagne’s influencer gifting strategy. This candidate should be a true balance of left brain and right brain: creative, with a very good sense of up-and-coming brands, curation, and pop culture, while also having a keen attention to detail and the ability to simultaneously manage several projects in an organized manner. As a Marketing Associate on a small team, you will work on multiple areas of the business: from strategic gifting, to events, to retailer partnerships. You will work cross-functionally with multiple groups including founders, events, marketing, digital design, wholesale, HR, and the store.

The Role:

• Influencer Gifting: You will work closely with the Creative Marketing Director, Influencer Marketing Manager, and CEO, on all gifting initiatives including business development gifting, influencer/celebrity gifting and internal gifting. While liaising with the marketing team, you will ideate, manage and execute creative strategic gifting initiatives that are either established and turnkey or totally unique to an individual. While there is a solid strategy in place, you will have the ability to own and add onto the established foundation, as a creative contributor. As the project manager for each gifting initiative, it is important that you are an over-communicator, constantly communicating the status of each project with cross-functional partners, as well as getting out gifting in a timely manner.
• Organization: You will help prepare samples and props for different teams - from digital design to photoshoot, as well as organize items and samples post-shoot.
• Events: As a brand ambassador, you will help assist in the execution of consumer events at our store. Additionally, partnering with HR + founders, you will also plan and execute internal team events (5-6 times per year).
  
  

You:

• Think of others, are self-assured, are positive, upbeat, hard-working, efficient, detail-oriented and thorough. You have fantastic ideas, you follow trends and what brands are doing, and are always up on what’s going on in the general zeitgeist.
• Are focused on marketing initiatives that drive impressions and mentions.
• Thrive working in fast-paced environments, both on the computer and in getting product out the door.
• Understand what it means to fully own projects and have no qualms asking for help or clarification in order to ensure projects get executed in a high-quality and timely manner.
• Are a planner. You know how to manage up and know how to make yourself valuable, anticipating and thinking through next steps when proposing new ideas.
• Are a comprehensive communicator and executor who prides yourself on thinking through all the pieces of a project.
• Are comfortable with speaking to others - brand partners, external customer service providers, etc. - whether it be via email, phone, or in person.
• Are a scrappy, can-do problem solver.
• Are based in NYC and can easily get to our Soho store.
