Founding Head of Brand

You are the founding brand hire, and you will define what Melotech means to the world from a blank page. There is no brand book, no house style, no established narrative to protect. You decide how we sound, who we are for and why anyone should care, then you make the world take notice.

What you'll do

• Define our story: one coherent narrative that makes sense of what we are building for fans, press and partners, and keeping it consistent everywhere it shows up
• Own how the world perceives us across earned media, owned channels, partnerships and the moments we create ourselves
• Work with our creatives to ship creative campaigns and stunts that earn attention rather than buy it
• Open doors with your own network of press, creators and brands, and turn those relationships into partnerships that would not happen without you
• Direct agencies and freelancers on execution while you remain the constant strategic driver
• Lay the reputation groundwork in a category under real public scrutiny, so we lead the hard conversations rather than react to them

What you'll need

• 3 or more years in brand, communications or creative marketing, preferably with real time at an early-stage company
• You have been part of a zero-to-one brand journey, and you were there early enough to have shaped it rather than inherited it
• You have shaped a coherent overarching story, not just run communications at scale
• You have made things that travelled: campaigns, stunts, formats, moments people talked about
• You bring a network and you use it. Partnerships you can open yourself are a large part of the value here
• You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment

Nice to have

• Music-industry relationships and artist or label connections, and you're internet-native. You know what's trending, what's breaking, and you're into music, media or social

What they offer

• Competitive salary and equity ownership in the business
• Remote work with complete freedom over your life
• Regular global offsites for strategy and collaboration
• Direct access to founder with freedom to make bold calls and budget to execute
• Flat hierarchies where your voice matters and impact is immediate
