Marketing & Special Projects Associate

About the role

We are seeking the talents of a Marketing & Special Projects Associate (M/F) to join our US Marketing Team and contribute to the next chapter of Sézane's journey in the United States.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end project management of special marketing initiatives across the US and Canada, from scoping through post-mortem, in partnership with our US Offline Marketing Manager.
• Partner with Sézane Influence, Events, Communications, Retail / Operations, Assortment, Legal and Creative teams to ensure every project reflects with the broader brand image and experience.
• Source local and recurring partners that align with Sézane's DNA, building relationships that strengthen brand presence and resonate with US and Canadian audiences.
• Act as the on-the-ground lead for projects and activations, overseeing installations, productions, team training, and store openings, while simultaneously coordinating with global teams and vendors.
• Facilitate traditional offline marketing (direct mail, billboards, print), ensuring alignment with brand standards and resonance with local markets.
• Own project budgets end-to-end: recurring reports, building proper expense allocation, real-time view of budget tracking, ROI, brand impact, and lessons for next time.
• Guide copy and asset creation for offline marketing in collaboration with our Paris-based creative team, managing local production and distribution across the US.
• Build and maintain detailed project timelines and critical paths across all active initiatives, proactively identifying risks and dependencies to keep projects on track.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in creative offline project management, experiential marketing, events, in-person brand partnerships (preferably but not obligatorily within the fashion, beauty, lifestyle or culture-driven industries).
• Must be New York-based and able to work in person at our SoHo office with considerable domestic travel for projects, openings and activations throughout the year.
• Flexible and willing to coordinate with teams across time zones (LA, NY, Paris) to keep projects on track, even when that means adjusting your schedule around theirs.
• Familiar with offline marketing campaign mechanisms and execution.
• Detail and process-oriented with strong time management, organizational skills, and keen eye for process improvement.
• Good negotiation skills & ability to manage relationships with established vendors.
• Comfortable leading multiple projects simultaneously within a small team.

Qualifications

• You're passionate about finding new ways to bring the Sézane magic to life with creative offline marketing events and activations tailored to local markets.
• When sourcing vendors and activations, can balance between "locally resonant," "operationally feasible," and "on brand."
• No task too big or small attitude. You're a true team player who's the first to roll your sleeves up to get things done.
• Curious, interested and knowledgeable about local culture and "newness" (arts, artists, design, spaces, venues, restaurants, vendors etc) around the US and Canada with an eye for timelessness over trends.
• Cool under pressure & solution oriented - always one to have a backup plan (or three) and seamlessly adapt plans and logistics accordingly.
• Strong network of print and asset production partners is a plus but not required.
• Bilingual (French / English) is a plus but not required.

Benefits

Salary range: $80,000 - $85,000 depending on skills and experience. Sézane recruits and values all talents, whatever your gender, age, nationality, culture, religious beliefs or sexual orientation.
