Brand Director

Status: Full-time / W2

Location: US-Based /Remote

Position Overview

Are You a Brand Builder Who Knows How to Turn Products Into the Most Trusted Name in the Category?

If you instinctively see the gap between what a brand says and what customers actually feel, obsess over trust signals and storytelling systems, and know how to turn a brand into measurable conversion, loyalty, and long-term enterprise value, this role is for you.

At Organics Ocean, we’re looking for a Brand Director who will build and scale the strategic brand function from the ground up inside a fast-growing DTC consumables business.

This role sits at the intersection of brand strategy, revenue-driving storytelling, customer trust, authority systems, creative guardrails, organic social evolution, and conversion-focused messaging.

You will define how the market experiences our brand across every customer touchpoint, from hero product positioning, launch narratives, organic social, and trust-building authority systems.

This is a high-ownership builder role, responsible for creating the frameworks, systems, rhythms, and cross-functional guardrails that allow brands to become a measurable lever for:

• conversion
• retention
• audience loyalty
• repeat purchase
• long-term trust

You will own the strategy, architecture, and rollout of the brand operating system, partnering closely with Growth, Creative, Lifecycle, and Performance teams to ensure every customer-facing message reinforces who we are and why customers should trust us.

This is a hands-on, outcomes-driven leadership role.
If you’re looking for a brand stewardship role inside a mature system—or a purely advisory, consultant-style position—this will not be the right fit.

This is a rare opportunity to build the brand function, systems, operating rhythms, and 12-month roadmap from zero inside a scaling company.

We are specifically looking for a proven DTC operator who has built a brand function from zero inside a fast-scaling consumables company.

Who we are: Organics Ocean

Organics Ocean is a premium direct-to-consumer supplement brand helping people take control of their health through science-backed, clean, and highly effective products.

We are building more than a supplement company—we are building a trusted wellness brand rooted in education, transparency, and long-term customer trust.

This is a high-growth environment where things do not stay static. We test, optimize, iterate, and innovate quickly, and we are looking for people who thrive in a culture built on ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Our team is made up of high-performing operators who care deeply about their craft, move with urgency, and take pride in building something bigger than themselves. Roles and expectations are clear, feedback is direct, and strong ideas are encouraged regardless of title.The environment is collaborative and low ego, but the standards are high.

We move fast, hold a high bar, and believe this next stage of growth will only be achieved by A-players who are energized by building in ambiguity and raising the standard every day.

Why join our team?

High-growth eCommerce brand: Driven by innovation and fast execution, Organics Ocean has seen 350% year over year growth.

Ownership & Accountability: We trust our team members to take full ownership of their responsibilities. You are empowered to lead, execute, and improve without micromanagement. We value individuals who take initiative, hold themselves accountable, and drive meaningful results.

A team of high performers: We push boundaries, move fast, and get things done. The company is in a hockey stick growth phase. This is not a good fit for those who don’t want to grow.
