About Gozney
At Gozney, we’re on a mission to change the way the world cooks outdoors. Since 2010, Gozney has made cooking with fire easy by pioneering next‑level pizza ovens – award-winning, high-performing, durable tools that are beautiful, designed for chefs, and intuitive for beginners. We are creators of new experiences, and we’re seeking motivated individuals to join our expanding team and embark on an incredible journey. We are passionate, innovative, bold, and relentless, all while having a ton of fun – whether you’re excited about pizza, outstanding products, food culture, lifestyle, the outdoors, or simply looking for a company that truly values you.
The Role
We don’t just make pizza ovens and this isn't just another brand role.
You'll be responsible for defining, protecting and evolving one of the most exciting brands in outdoor living. Reporting to the CMO, you'll set the strategic direction for the Gozney brand, ensuring it remains distinctive, relevant and commercially impactful as we continue to grow around the world.
Working closely with our CMO and fellow Marketing Directors, you'll make sure Brand is at the centre of the biggest decisions we make. You'll partner with our Managing Director of Creative to turn strategy into world-class creative work, while collaborating across Product, Commercial, Retail, Performance Marketing and Customer Experience to create one connected brand experience.
You'll also lead our global PR, Social and Community teams. These are some of the most powerful ways people experience Gozney. They're how our stories travel, how our community grows and how the brand shows up in culture every single day. You'll bring these teams together behind one clear brand vision, making sure everything we put into the world feels unmistakably Gozney, whether it's a product launch, a creator partnership, a social post, a press story or a community event.
This is a highly collaborative leadership role. Success isn't measured by the creative you personally produce, but by your ability to set direction, align teams behind a clear brand vision and raise the quality of thinking across the business. You'll be part strategist, part brand guardian, part coach and a cultural leader within the Marketing function, helping shape the future of one of the world's most exciting lifestyle brands.
Key responsibilities:
Set the direction for the Gozney brand
You'll own the long-term direction of the Gozney brand, making sure it evolves as we continue to grow without losing what makes it distinctive. And you'll develop clear ways of measuring brand health, ensuring we're investing our time and energy where it has the greatest impact.
Lead PR, Social & Community
You'll lead our global PR, Social and Community teams, bringing them together behind one clear brand vision. You'll create alignment across every brand touchpoint, ensuring our campaigns, creator partnerships, press stories, social content and community experiences all tell one consistent story.
You'll empower these teams to do their best work, creating the clarity, ambition and operating rhythm that allows them to build advocacy, grow our cultural relevance and keep Gozney at the centre of the conversation.
You'll continue to build out a team capable of producing some of the best work in our category. That means hiring exceptional people, developing future leaders and creating an environment where talented people can do the best work of their careers.
You'll introduce the planning, prioritisation and operating rhythms that allow the team to stay focused while protecting them from unnecessary noise.
Build a brand people want to belong to
You'll create campaigns, stories and experiences that people genuinely connect with, building emotional connection far beyond the products themselves.
You'll constantly look for new ways to grow our cultural relevance through creators, partnerships, events and content, helping Gozney become something people actively want to be part of.
Put the consumer at the centre
Everything starts with the consumer. You'll develop a deep understanding of who they are, what motivates them and how that changes across different markets.
You'll champion customer insight across the business, making sure decisions are driven by real behaviour rather than assumptions.
You'll help shape the end-to-end customer journey, ensuring every interaction with Gozney feels thoughtful, connected and unmistakably on brand.
Make Brand everyone's responsibility
Brand shouldn't sit inside Marketing. It should influence every part of the business. You'll work closely with Product, Commercial, Retail, Sales, Customer Experience and Operations to create one connected customer experience.
From product launches and packaging through to retail, CRM, customer support and digital experiences, you'll make sure the Gozney brand shows up consistently wherever customers interact with us.
Balance creativity with commercial performance
Great brands create commercial results. You'll partner closely with the VP of Growth to ensure our brand and performance marketing work hand in hand. Together you'll create work that delivers commercial results without compromising what makes Gozney distinctive.
You'll help the business make smart investment decisions, balancing long-term brand building with short-term priorities and ensuring resources are focused where they'll make the biggest difference.
Protect and evolve the brand
As Gozney grows, consistency matters more than ever. You'll own our global brand guidelines and create the tools and frameworks that allow teams around the world to move quickly without losing what makes Gozney feel like Gozney.
You'll continually challenge how we show up, looking for opportunities to improve every customer touchpoint.
Lead beyond your function
This role isn't just about leading Brand. You'll be one of the cultural leaders of the business. You'll set high standards, bring energy and curiosity, build strong relationships across the organisation and represent Gozney externally with creators, agencies, partners and the wider industry.
What We're Looking For
You'll probably bring:
- Significant experience leading Brand for a premium consumer, lifestyle or design-led business.
- Experience building brands with international reach and cultural relevance.
- Experience leading PR, Social, Community or integrated brand functions, bringing multiple teams together behind a single brand vision.
- A track record of building and developing high-performing teams.
