The posting

Pro Athlete is seeking an experienced and visionary Brand Manager to create, define, and execute the strategic direction for our portfolio of brands, including in-house private label brands, exclusives, branding our loyalty program, and building the strategy behind the things that are unique to our brand. This leader will own the creative brand strategy, ensuring consistency, alignment with business objectives, and a resonant connection with target audiences.

We have a Major League caliber culture, we have a passion for what we do, and we love to have fun. No, really, we LOVE TO HAVE FUN!

Alignment with our Core Values is a must! Please do not apply if you don’t believe in our Core Values or don’t plan on living them out to their fullest.

Essential Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement the overarching brand strategy and vision for all brands (private label and retail), setting and enforcing the brand guidelines and guiding the vision for each brand.

  • Monitor the visual and tonal representation of all brands across channels.
  • Collaborate with Product Development on high-level product design and concepting to ensure brand cohesion and product creation that meets the needs of desired customer base.
  • Serve as the final arbiter of brand voice, ensuring that all content is aligned with the established brand narrative.
  • Anything creative and brand-related that the customer sees would fall under this role’s domain.
  • We will lean heavily on this role to help craft each brands’ story, identify the customer base, and will rely on them to ensure that all creative efforts moving forward align with that narrative.
  • Willingness to wear multiple hats on the creative side.
  • Other duties as reasonably assigned.

  • 2+ years experience in eCommerce, private label and/or retail preferred.

  • Attention to detail and highly organized.
  • Understanding of lifestyle apparel landscape, sporting goods, and appreciation for the relationship between sports and apparel/products.
  • Shopify experience is a plus but not essential.
  • Baseball and pickleball knowledge/experience is preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
