Know the saying, “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”? It’s fair to say the fashion industry is talking the talk when it comes to sustainability, but they’re failing miserably in walking the walk.
There’s a literal clothing desert in Chile and billions of discarded items are incinerated each year, often after being worn just once. Crazay.
There’s nothing sheepish about the company we are working with, they are fiercely changing the fashion industry, enabling brands to identify a sustainable pathway for their supply chain, by showing fashion brands insights into their suppliers.
By doing this, businesses can take action and amend their practices to focus their future activity on suppliers taking real steps to cut emissions, improve the sourcing of materials, tackle modern slavery and more.
They are building a platform which grants their clients access to data they otherwise wouldn’t be able to collate or translate into tangible points. Through this platform, they also improve data the companies already have by making it broader and easier to work with.
This is incredibly powerful in achieving buy-in from major brands, helping them establish which factories they should do more work with, and steering away from the environmentally poor ones.
They use data from various sources including publicly available international trade and shipping data, data from certification bodies and public information orgs addressing issues like pollution or modern slavery and they’re always finding additional sources to interrogate and improve the quality of data used.
They have some exciting customers, but now they need to expand. It’s a small team so far, so account management and new customer engagement are limited. So they’re looking for a Marketing Manager or Chief Marketing Officer ” not picky on title ” to get their platform in front of more potential customers and decision-makers.
You’ll work closely with the COO on establishing their business strategy moving forward, putting in plans and goals to work towards in terms of increasing revenue to reach a point of profitability ” which they hope to achieve in the next 12-18 months. So, you’ll essentially become part of the founding team, contributing to their vision and defining their pathway to reach profitability.
This means you’ll help them hire additional people as they grow and increase their impact, feeding back to the CTO and CPO on what customers want and need, and what features or improvements should be prioritised.
They’re open-minded about how you raise their profile and don’t have a marketing strategy they’re settled on, so you’ll have real ownership over whether you engage on socials, targeted email campaigns, business events and conferences or a mix of those and other methods familiar to you.
Want to be a part of the team that shows the fashion sector that sustainable change is doable? Please say hello.
