Direct-to-consumer fashion brand scaling retail and influencer strategy
Jaded London is a 12-year-old fashion brand operating across DTC channels, retail locations, and influencer partnerships. The hiring surge is heavily weighted toward marketing (9 roles) and design (4 roles), with notable leadership gaps in brand and retail—signaling an active push to scale physical presence and refine Gen Z messaging. Tech stack is creative-focused (Adobe suite, Shopify, Airtable, CAD) with recent adoption of Attentive, suggesting SMS-driven customer engagement as a growth lever.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Marketing, Head of Retail, Head of Brand
Jaded London designs and sells fashion apparel through direct-to-consumer and retail channels. Founded in 2013, the brand has built community through collaborations, pop-ups, and events. The company operates from London with a small, distributed team (11–50 employees) and is actively hiring across the UK and US. Current operational priorities span product launches, store expansion (permanent and pop-up formats), influencer partnerships, and international market localization. Pain points center on margin protection, factory cost management, retail profitability, and coordinating product launches across channels.
Primary tools: Shopify (commerce), Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro for design and content), CAD (product design), Airtable (operations), TikTok/Meta/Instagram (social), and recently Attentive (SMS engagement).
Core initiatives: store opening expansion (permanent and pop-up), Gen Z cultural marketing strategy, influencer outreach, product/collection launches, VIP talent custom looks, and market localization across core and emerging regions.
