Note from JM - La Matera’s CEO:
At La Matera, we’re not just building a brand, we’re building a way of life. A way of working, thinking, and showing up that blurs the line between creativity and commerce, story and system. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some incredible talent over the last few years, but now we’re entering a new chapter—and it calls for a new kind of teammate.
This role isn’t just about running marketing. It’s about becoming a steward of the brand. About treating our story, our products, and our customers with the kind of care that a founder would. You’ll be handed the keys to something that’s been years in the making, with the freedom and expectation to evolve it into something even better.
If you’re someone who sees brand as a living, breathing thing… who believes great creative and great operations can coexist… who’s excited by what AI can do but never forgets the soul of the work… I think you’ll thrive here.
We’re not offering a ladder. We’re offering a launchpad.
If that speaks to you, keep reading.
Cheers,
JM

We’re Hiring: Brand & Innovation Lead (aka Right-Hand to the Founder)
This isn’t a plug-and-play marketing job. It’s a crash course in building a living, breathing brand and a damn good one at that. We’re looking for someone with future founder energy. Someone who’s sharp, teachable, and already obsessed with branding, storytelling, and product. You know you’ve got the chops, you just need the reps.
Here’s the deal, we’re La Matera. We’ve been at it for +12 years, selling beautifully made accessories with soul, substance, and story. The brand is growing, the roadmap is exciting, and the team is tight-knit and fast-moving. We’re building something with real depth, and we’re looking for a partner to help us make it even better.
This person will take the reins from our current brand lead and plug in across the board: product launches, marketing, content, AI-powered tools, creative direction, and keeping the brand voice strong across every channel. It’s part strategy, part execution, part storytelling, part logistics. Some days you’ll be writing copy, some days you’ll be planning a shoot, some days you’ll be managing our marketing calendar or chatting with our founder on product positioning.
This role might be for you if:
You’ve always had a side hustle or dream of starting your own brand one day but want to learn from someone who’s already done it
You think in systems but speak in stories
You’re fluent in AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Notion, Figma, etc... or excited to get fluent fast
You love building things from scratch and taking ownership of your work
You move fast, stay extremely organized, and ask smart questions
You’re ready to learn more in one year than most people learn in five
What you'll actually be doing:
Planning and executing product launches -- from concept to post-mortem
Writing and managing content across email, SMS, social, and web
Owning our brand voice and making sure everything we put out sounds, feels, and looks like La Matera
Using AI tools (we built our own internal one) to scale up marketing without losing the soul
Helping lead photo shoots, UGC direction, and visual asset development
Keeping the marketing calendar tight and the team one step ahead
Acting as a gut check -- is this still on brand? Are we telling the right story?
You’ll crush this if you’re:
Detail-oriented, but don’t need hand-holding
A clean, punchy writer with a good eye
Hungry, humble, and quick on your feet
Someone who likes to build the playbook, not just follow one
Interested in growing into a leadership role or even launching your own brand one day
What this is not:
A slow-moving corporate gig
A job where you wait for permission
A place to do “just enough”
What this is:
A launchpad for your career
A front-row seat to building a brand from the inside
A real chance to own meaningful work, every day
