Brand Marketing Director

About the Role

We're looking for a Brand Marketing Director to own how the world experiences Atoms and its family of products; Otter, CK, Picnic, Lab37. You'll partner with the brand team to set the brand strategy, build the narrative, and make every touchpoint feel like one company with a clear point of view across a portfolio defining the future of restaurant technology. You'll create unique marketing campaigns and moments to uplift the Atoms talent brand and consumer facing products like Picnic.

The ideal candidate pairs sharp creative judgment with commercial discipline. You think in systems - voice, identity, messaging architecture - but you're just as comfortable in the weeds of a campaign or a landing page. You know how to build a brand that means something to an enterprise decision-maker and at the same time a regular consumer choosing the right lunch option. You've built the function, led the team, and raised the bar on the work and you're energized by doing it across growing businesses at once.

What you'll do

• Lead brand campaigns end to end - concept, creative, production, and measurement - that build awareness and preference with not only SMB restaurant operators but also enterprise buyers and end-consumers
• Design reputation and category-leadership strategies that establish Atoms and its products as the trusted names in restaurant technology
• Partner with the brand to create brand strategy and positioning across the portfolio - the overarching Atoms narrative and how each product brand ladders up to it across every stakeholder touchpoint - web, product, sales, lifecycle, social, events, and PR
• Partner with Comms to create thought-leadership platforms that position Atoms leaders as authoritative voices in restaurant tech, robotics, real estate and operator software
• Collaborate with the Talent team to create the Atoms Talent Brand strategy and execute ideas
• Cultivate co-marketing and strategic brand partnerships that enhance credibility and extend reach in key operator and enterprise communities
• Partner with Product Marketing, Growth, and Performance so the brand shows up coherently across paid, web, lifecycle, sales, and events - and so brand and demand reinforce each other
• Manage creative resourcing - in-house designers and writers plus external agencies and production partners - and raise the creative bar across the org
• Define success metrics for brand influence and build the measurement framework - awareness, consideration, perception, and share of voice - that connects brand investment to pipeline and growth
• Analyze market trends, competitive positioning, and audience sentiment to inform strategic brand decisions
• Hire, manage, and mentor a team of brand and creative professionals as the function grows

What we're looking for

• 10+ years in brand marketing, including significant experience leading integrated marketing at a high-growth company
• A proven track record driving brand from strategy through execution (campaigns, identity systems, or rebrands you can point to)
• Experience creating successful brand marketing campaigns at different stages of a company's lifecycle.
• Strong creative judgment paired with commercial discipline; you tie brand to business outcomes, not just aesthetics
• Excellence in storytelling; you can articulate a narrative that lands with a busy operator and an enterprise buyer alike
• A background building and managing creative teams and agency relationships
• Strong analytical capability for measuring brand health, sentiment, and perception, and connecting it to the business
• Comfort in a fast-moving environment with multiple business units and shifting priorities

Strong candidates may also

• Have marketed to CEOs of large companies
• Have experience marketing products to SMBs, restaurant operators, or independent merchants
• Have built a brand or creative function from the ground up
• Have led integrated marketing across a multi-product or portfolio (multi-brand house) environment, including brand architecture work
• Have partnered closely with product and growth teams so brand and demand reinforce each other
• Have run a rebrand or launched a new brand system end to end
