Temporary Director of Commercial Marketing

Is this job for you?

Faherty Brand is looking for a Temp Director of Commercial Marketing- a sharp, execution-oriented marketing leader who blends analytical rigor with a modern, digitally-native mindset. Reporting to the CEO, this role sits at the intersection of performance, data, and go-to-market execution. You will own catalog strategy, channel analytics, in-channel performance marketing, and cross-channel prospecting- making smart, fast calls that drive real commercial outcomes across wholesale, retail, and ecommerce. We need someone who rolls up their sleeves, digs into the data, and gets results. If you have a track record of doing the work- and you understand how AI and modern tools are reshaping what great marketing looks like- this role was built for you.

What you'll do:

• Own in-channel performance marketing across paid social, SEM, SEO, affiliate, and emerging AI-driven acquisition channels- making confident, data-backed calls on channel mix and budget allocation
• Drive customer acquisition strategy with a strong command of CAC, LTV, ROAS, and media efficiency metrics
• Lead prospecting and retargeting programs- building and optimizing audience segmentation, lookalike strategies, and full-funnel conversion paths
• Manage and optimize the marketing catalog- ensuring product data is clean, structured, and performing across all channels
• Build and maintain dashboards that surface real-time performance insights and translate data into clear actions for leadership
• Own in-channel reporting and make proactive recommendations on prospecting, spend reallocation, and emerging opportunities
• Oversee the marketing tech stack and optimize tools, attribution models, and data infrastructure to improve decision-making and performance visibility
• Partner with ecommerce and merchandising to align catalog priorities with channel sequencing and sell-through goals
• Contribute to integrated go-to-market plans across wholesale, retail, and digital- translating seasonal priorities into coordinated, high-impact activations
• Work cross-functionally with Creative, Merchandising, Retail, and Wholesale to keep execution tight and on-brand
• Think strategically about how AI and automation are reshaping marketing operations, from smarter product data usage to AI-driven acquisition and go-to-market workflows
• Evaluate and implement tools that allow the team to do more with less, balancing human judgment with AI capability
• Stay ahead of emerging platforms (TikTok, AI-native channels) and bring a modern, zeitgeist-aware perspective to all marketing decisions

What you'll have:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
• Minimum 8 years of experience in performance marketing, growth, or commercial marketing- with time at both a brand and an agency strongly preferred
• Deep fluency in performance marketing platforms and attribution modeling- paid social, SEM/SEO, affiliate, and other acquisition channels
• Strong understanding of marketing technology stack architecture, including the interplay between engagement tools, ad serving platforms, and data infrastructure
• Experience with core marketing platforms including CMS, customer engagement platforms
• Proficiency with project and product management platforms such as Airtable, Jira, or Asana; experience with BI tools and experimentation frameworks
• Familiarity with global data privacy and consent regulations as they apply to digital marketing operations
• Modern and digitally native- fluent in TikTok, AI marketing tools, and the current marketing zeitgeist
• Analytically rigorous and operationally sharp- comfortable with financial modeling, forecasting, and performance dashboards
• Exceptional communicator- able to simplify complexity, break down technical concepts for both business and creative stakeholders, and drive alignment across the org

A bit about us:

Founded in 2013 by Mike and Alex Faherty and Kerry Docherty, Faherty is a family-run lifestyle and apparel brand fueled by purpose and optimism. Our goal: to build a new American legacy by creating high-quality, sustainably minded, feel-good favorites that will bring you joy to wear.

We feel a deep responsibility to do things differently: to promise comfort without compromising quality. To hold ourselves to a higher standard with a lower environmental impact. To leave the world a better place than we found it.

We recognize the impact the fashion industry has on the world, and we're dedicated to learning how to be better stewards of the planet. We believe the power of conversation and connection can make real change, and we're committed to supporting people and organizations doing work that we believe in.

Our passionate leadership team comes from different backgrounds but share a singular goal: to deliver on our promise of comfort and craftsmanship. To work side-by-side in a collaborative, energetic, and creative environment every day, like the family we are.

We welcome everyone — and we mean everyone. We believe a diversity of viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds only serve to make our team stronger, which is why we strongly encourage those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply: BIPOC, women, and people in the LGBTQIA community, to name a few. We strive to lead consciously, bravely, and inclusively — and to reflect those values in our work. Employees should embody the five core values of the Faherty team:

Remain compassionate. Stay focused. Seek joy. Let's make the world a better place!
