Head of Marketing & Trading – Germany and ROW

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

Here at Boden we’re all about creating joy for our customers, by making them look and feel amazing.

Boden has been a big hit in Germany, and is now our 3rd biggest market behind the UK and US. There is still lots of potential for growth though and that’s where you come in! You’ll own the local marketing budget and deliver the marketing and commercial performance of the German business by developing the brand across all touchpoints whilst keeping the customer experience central to all you do.

As the Head of Marketing and Trading, you’ll know just what our customers in Germany love about us! You’ll lead localisation across all marketing channels for Germany, ensuring that all marketing communications and visual merchandising is tailored for our German customers, without losing our Boden British-ness, style and wit. Using data and insights will be critical to be sure the customer journey across all touchpoints drives performance in market, and creates a consistently fabulous experience across all on and offline channels.

With deep market knowledge and an eye on the competitive landscape, you’ll identify and drive brand development in market through new business opportunities and partnerships which align with our brand values.

You won’t be doing all this alone. You’ll lead a cross functional team and work with functional experts across Boden, so a passion for collaborative working yet strong leadership is a must.

You’ll have:

Tons of knowledge of the German fashion retail market and competitor landscape, preferably with previous responsibility for on and offline marketing channels in Germany.

Strong commercial and numerical analytical skills with an excellent understanding of all elements of the marketing mix

Seasoned leadership experience, leading multi-channel markets ideally with eCommerce/cross-border experience

Proven experience of working in creative fast-paced organisations, where everyone is hands-on and where the focus is on getting the job done to a consistently high standard

In addition you’ll be fluent in German, both written and verbal, and will very likely have a passion for all the latest trends and goings-on in Germany.
