Director of Growth & Brand Activation

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: COMPANY SUMMARY, POSITION SUMMARY, What you'll own, What you bring, How we work, WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE, BENEFITS OF WORKING FOR THE HONEST KITCHEN, salary range, B Corp note. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to decide which sections correspond. - About the role: could be POSITION SUMMARY (what we're looking for) and maybe company summary? But "About the role" is appropriate for position summary. We'll put that. - Responsibilities: "What you'll own" list. - Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What you bring" includes experience, skills, etc. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills but we can combine? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have Requirements (or Qualifications) covering what you bring. Maybe we can have "Requirements" and "Skills" separate if content distinct. But we can combine into one section "Requirements". However we need to follow allowed headings; we can use any of them. Let's use "Requirements" for the what you bring. - Benefits: Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range. - Schedule: Not present, so omit. - How we work and WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE could be part of About the role or maybe separate sections like "About the company" but not allowed headings. We could incorporate into About the role as prose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include content from company summary, position summary, what you'll own, what you bring, how we work, why you'll love working here, benefits, salary, B Corp note. We need to format as HTML: use

for headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Let's draft. First, maybe a short paragraph for company summary? Could be included in About the role as intro. But About the role heading should contain position summary and maybe company summary? The instruction: Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Thus we can have:

  About the role

  [company summary + position summary combined?]

  But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can split into two paragraphs. Let's write:

  About the role

  At The Honest Kitchen, we believe pets deserve the same quality of food as the humans who love them. As pioneers of human grade pet food, we use thoughtfully sourced ingredients and gentle preparation methods to create foods that are as wholesome as they are nutritious. We’re a purpose-driven, growth-minded, proud B Corp... (continue company summary).

  We're looking for a Director of Growth & Brand Activation to own two things that drive the business in equal measure: the demand engine that acquires new customers through our owned DTC channel, and the brand activation engine – the PR, influencer, affiliate, and organic social work that drives awareness and engagement with our brand, plus the creative that fuels every channel we sell through. You'll lead three direct reports covering performance media and lifecycle, brand activation (PR, influencer, affiliate, organic social) and creative development. On the media side, your focus is our owned digital spend — the channels driving traffic and subscribers to thehonestkitchen.com. On the brand activation side, you own how we build awareness and engagement outside of paid media. On the creative side, your team produces packaging, retail POS, ecommerce content and the assets behind our media-driven channels; brand campaigns and DTC performance creative all run through you. You'll sit alongside peers who make this work. Our Brand Director owns brand strategy, innovation, portfolio, and retail — they set the story and how it should show up at retail, you make it travel and perform. Our DTC leader owns site revenue and the on-site experience — you make sure the right media is driving the right traffic to it, against the same number. Our eCommerce team runs Amazon and Chewy with their own media agency — you make sure they have creative that wins on those channels.

  That covers position summary. Now Responsibilities: "What you'll own" list. We need to turn each bullet into
• . The "What you'll own" section includes multiple paragraphs each starting with bold headings? Let's extract: - Paid media strategy and performance. Set the strategic direction for our digital media investment: channel roles, spend allocation, and the evidence bar (including our media mix modeling) that decisions get defended against. Your Performance Marketing Manager owns the budget and the agency relationship day-to-day; you set the strategy they execute against and hold the line when short-term efficiency pressure threatens to starve the top of funnel. - Brand activation. Partner with our Brand Director on the strategy for how we build awareness and engagement outside of paid media — PR, influencer, and organic social — then define how that strategy comes to life by channel, working closely with our Sr Partnerships Manager to get it there. - Creative as a company-wide engine. Your team serves brand, DTC and eCommerce. That means running a creative operation that can absorb demand from three directions and still ship on time: clear intake, honest prioritization, a realistic view of capacity, and agency partners scaled to fill the gaps. Volume and speed matter here as much as craft. - The creative-performance loop. Make sure what you learn from media actually changes what you make next — and that the read comes back from every channel, including the ones you don't buy yourself. - Lifecycle and retention. Partner on subscriber acquisition, onboarding, retention and win-back. In DTC, the second order is where the business is made. - Measurement. Own the reporting rhythm: what's working, what isn't, what we're changing. Bring a clear point of view on incrementality and attribution — and be honest when the data is ambiguous. - Team leadership. Develop three managers into stronger operators and hold our agency partners to a high bar. Make them better, not just busier. Also includes "Your team Sr. Partnership Manager — PR, affiliate, influencer and organic social Performance Marketing Manager — paid media agency and spend across digital channels, ad creative development, and lifecycle management Creative Design Manager — owns creative operations end-to-end: intake, prioritization, and traffic across packaging, retail POS, website/ecommerce content, and other channel needs as they arise. Each is supported by agency partners." That could be part of responsibilities as well. We'll create a
  with each bullet as
  • . Ensure we keep the content. Now Requirements: "What you bring" list. Extract bullet points: - 10+ years in growth or performance marketing at an omni-channel business – not DTC-only. You’ve had to balance brand and demand investment across channels where DTC wasn’t the majority of revenue, and you know that changes the math versus a pure-play DTC brand. - Deep, hands-on paid media experience — you've owned a budget, managed agencies, and you can tell when you're being managed rather than served - Real fluency in creative and content as performance drivers. You know what makes an ad work, you can brief it, and you can tell a creative team why something didn't - Experience running creative for more than one internal customer. You've built intake and prioritization that people actually follow, and you're comfortable saying “not this month” to a peer - A track record of working with brand rather than around it. You've taken someone else's brand platform and made it perform without sanding off what made it distinctive - Lifecycle and retention experience — email, SMS, subscription mechanics - People leadership experience. You've managed managers or senior individual contributors and made them better - Comfort with data. You can build the model, question the attribution, and explain the tradeoff to a non-marketer - Plugged in. You know what's happening in creator economics, in retail media, in AI-assisted content production — and you can separate the signal from the hype - Bias to ship. You'd rather test something imperfect this month than perfect something for next quarter - Bonus points for: Amazon or retail media experience — you don't need to buy it here, but knowing what performs on those platforms means our eCommerce team gets sharper assets; pet, food, CPG or wellness experience; working across both DTC and retail. We'll put these in
    • . Now Benefits: we have a Benefits section with bullet points. Extract: - Time off: We offer a highly competitive time off schedule, including flexible vacation and additional sick time, in addition to a generous company-paid holiday schedule. - Benefits: Various health insurance plans with generous employer contributions to premiums. We also offer vision, dental, short-term disability, long-term disability, accident, critical illness, an employee assistance program, and an FSA/HSA. - Financial wellness: Enjoy perks like a company 401K with an employer match. - Mission Driven: Employees can take up to 40 hours of volunteer time a year, and we offer donation matching to non-profit organizations of your choosing. - Pet Friendly: Pet-friendly offices, discounts on pet insurance, and of course, free pet food! - Collaborative Team: We offer a fun, team-oriented work environment where you feel like you are making a difference every day. We'll put these as
      • . Now Pay: Salary range: $145,000 - $165,000/year. We'll put

        . Now we also have B Corp note: "As a Public Benefit Corporation, our company's practices and outputs are assessed and evaluated across five categories: Governance, Workers, Community, The Environment, and Customers. We track our social and environmental impact over time and publicly disclose our performance in our annual impact report. As an employee of a Certified B Corp, it is required that in performing your role, you factor social and environmental impacts into decision-making and actions as they" This is substantive; we could include under About the role or maybe a separate section but not a standard heading. Could add a paragraph under About the role after company summary. We'll incorporate that into About the role paragraph. Now How we work and WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE: we could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraphs. Let's add after position summary a paragraph about How we work: "We're a lean team with excellent agency partners. That means your ideas move fast and you have real ownership — and it also means you'll be closer to the work than you might be at a bigger company. If you want to build the plan and see it live, this is a good fit. If you're looking to purely direct from above, it isn't. Our values aren't wall art: Cultivate Connections — we lead with compassion, internally and externally Consciously Disrupt — we ask the tough questions and challenge the status quo, including our own Be Dogged — we're accountable, resourceful, and we don't take shortcuts" And WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE: bullet points? Actually it's a list: - Mission-driven brand making a real difference in pets’ lives - High-growth environment with room to shape strategy and programs - Collaborative, values-led culture that supports both people and pets - Opportunity to work on a category-leading, human-grade brand with strong consumer loyalty We could add as a
