Brand Lead; Creative & Content - Rock Face

Overview

Rock Face is the fastest-growing men’s toiletries brand in the UK. We’re stocked in all major UK retailers and are now entering our next phase of growth.

What makes Rock Face different:

• Product:
  Prestige-fragrance DNA at a mass price. Our scents are created in the same fragrance house as Armani, led by our CEO James, formerly of Armani fragrances.
• Planet / Innovation:
  The first men’s brand to launch a refillable proposition, combining efficacy, prestige fragrance and recyclable packaging.
• Community:
  We exist to authentically elevate men - inspiring them to do 1% better, every day.

We’re rethinking what “brand” means at Rock Face.

Historically, our marketing has been driven by bold above-the-line brand campaigns (TV, OOH and retail-led storytelling) and that approach has delivered serious results. But our next phase requires something different.

We’re building a content-led brand, not a traditional FMCG brand function.

This role is not for a classic brand manager or “safe pair of hands.” We’re looking for someone trained in content methodology, who now wants to build a content engine from the inside, to deliver remarkable organic reach.

You will not be making the content yourself. You will be building the system that makes great content inevitable.

If successful, you will be joining a team who have experience working for the best FMCG businesses. These cover L’Oreal, Wild, Amazon, Diageo, Higgidy, Ikea, Coke and Beauty Corp to name a few. We are a true scale up so everyone in the team is both a strategist and is willing to get their hands dirty when needed.

2. Lead Brand Expression (Secondary Priority)

• Evolve Rock Face’s tone of voice, humour and creative identity as we scale.
• Ensure brand consistency across DTC, Amazon, social and retail environments.

• Trained in content-first brand building.
• Experience working in or alongside a high-growth, creator-led brand.
• Obsessed with how brands like Brew Dog, Red Bull, Gymshark, Perfect Ted, Surreal and modern DTC brands build attention.
