We offer a better retail and digital experience that prioritizes safety and expertise in a cool, fun and welcoming environment, along with a wide earring assortment-all at an accessible price point.

The Senior Director, Marketing leads the full marketing function and is accountable for the integrated system that drives customer acquisition, studio traffic and conversion, retention, and long-term brand equity - with brand, retail marketing, digital, lifecycle, and creative all operating as one coherent engine.

Reporting to the CEO, this role sits at the center of Studs' commercial engine at a pivotal stage: a strong brand foundation, an evolving growth engine, and rising operational sophistication across the company. The Senior Director owns the integrated marketing calendar, leads a team of experienced marketers, and partners closely with Merchandising, Retail Operations, Finance, and People to translate company goals into integrated plans. The work spans long-range brand and customer strategy through to weekly performance optimization, and the role is expected to operate fluently across both.

This role is ideal for a leader who has built and run a full-stack marketing organization at a premium consumer, retail, or omnichannel brand, and who treats marketing as a connected system rather than a set of channel silos. The right candidate has strong commercial instincts, makes decisions with the discipline of an operator and the judgment of a brand steward, and is energized by environments where strategy and execution sit in the same week.
