Sr. Director / VP of Marketing

Good marketing tells a compelling story, allows companies of any size to make their voice heard, exposes consumers to products they never knew existed, and magic-tastically drives exponential action that’s larger than the spend. 

Misen is looking for a Sr. Director or VP of Marketing to grow our audience with deep segmentation and powerful content, taking incremental bets on everything from programmatic ad tweaks to OOH brand marketing - and anything in between.

I’m Michael, Misen’s CEO; I’ll be your sounding board, protector, and VC - in that order. Because we’ll be working so closely together, I think we’ll get a better fit with a JD that’s written as a personal match and not a soulless list of qualifications. Your first call back will be from me, and we’ll nerd out just 5 minutes in. I can’t wait to meet you.

The ideal candidate is someone who is all in:

• Needs a brand that moves faster and is willing to take incrementally bigger risks.

• Wants to market products that customers don’t just like, they love.

• Has a burning desire to build and defend an industry leading LTV.

• Assumes very little, questions nearly everything, and uses data to back up decisions even if it’s after a gut-based test.

• Is excited to take on a lot. In the next 90 days, we're launching a new Kickstarter campaign, our 1st retail partner, search and social at scale. In the next 120 days we’re adding 10 new products. The most exciting stuff we can’t even share publicly - yet :)

Why are there two titles?

We value “show me” over “tell me” at Misen. This means that we only hire those who can both think strategically and do the work. That hybrid muscle usually atrophies as marketers progress in their careers, so we’re looking for a Sr. Director that wants to be a VP, or a VP who wants to be a CMO. 

Who is Misen?

Our mission is to create unreal cookware for real people - at an unreal price.  We believe a better tool makes any job easier; our thoughtfully designed and premium-quality kitchen tools make cooking easier, less stressful, and more fun.

Our name comes from ‘mise en place’ — a culinary term that means “to put in place.” Chefs use the term to describe the process of setting up their stations before service. Misen is an ode to …
