Head of Marketing

About X UP Digital

X UP Digital is a fast-growing e-commerce company that owns and operates a portfolio of Amazon-first and DTC consumer brands. Our mission is to acquire and grow beloved niche brands through creative branding, innovative products, and world-class digital marketing. We’re now expanding our focus to scale our brands beyond Amazon into DTC, social, and emerging marketplaces—and we’re looking for a marketing leader who can drive that next stage of growth.

Position Overview

We are seeking a strategic, creative, and execution-focused Head of Marketing to lead and scale the off-Amazon growth strategy for our brand portfolio. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in high-growth environments and can build and manage a high-performance team across email marketing, Shopify sales, CRO, influencer marketing, paid media, and social content strategy.

You’ll work cross-functionally with creative, product, operations, and the Amazon team—but your focus will be on leading non-Amazon marketing channels and building sustainable growth across our DTC ecosystem.
