The Studio A founder-led womenswear brand built on instinct, sensuality and a singular point of view. Our client designs for women who dress for themselves. Their world is sun-soaked, cinematic and unapologetic, and their content is how that world comes to life. This studio is a lean, fast-moving team with a global audience and ambitious plans. The opportunity This role turns the founders' creative direction into a plan and makes sure it happens, on time and to the right standard. The creative directors set the vision for each season. You bring it to life across every channel, run the marketing and comms calendar, and lead the brand and content team day to day from the London studio.

Launches across homepage, email, social, PR and paid, so every drop lands consistently. Day-to-day leadership of the brand and content team, including production, digital design and social. Clear reporting to the founders on what's working and what's next.

Run regular check-ins so everyone, including founders working remotely, knows where things stand. Channels Own homepage and email planning: what gets pushed, when, and why. Coordinate social, PR, paid and wholesale activity around each launch. Work with Digital, Production, Design and Ecommerce so product is merchandised at the right time. Social and influencer strategy Work with the Social Lead to drive the social strategy forward, with clear goals for each channel and each drop. Shape the influencer and creator strategy: who we work with and why, the mix of gifted and paid, budgets, and how we measure results. Hold the team to those goals and use the results to decide what they do next. Production Support campaign and content shoots: schedules, budgets, call sheets and asset delivery. Make sure every shoot is captured for all channels and that assets are used to their full potential. Team leadership Line-manage and performance-manage the brand, content and social team, including the Social Lead. Run regular one-to-ones and reviews, set clear objectives, and follow through when performance needs to improve. Set a clear standard for every role, so each person knows what good looks like, what doesn't meet the bar, and how to get there. Support each person's development and progression. Manage freelancer and contractor relationships as an extension of the team. Be the point of accountability to the founders for the team's output. Reporting and budget Track performance across channels and report monthly to the founders: what worked, what didn't, and what they'll do next. Manage the brand and content budget. The Ideal Candidate You have 4+ years in marketing, brand, or content at a fashion or lifestyle brand, ideally premium or founder-led. You're highly organised and have owned a marketing calendar or critical path with many moving parts. You've managed people and enjoy helping a team do its best work. You have a strong eye. You instinctively know what feels on brand, even though you won't be setting the creative direction. You're comfortable with numbers and use them to make decisions. You communicate clearly and are confident working with founders who aren't always in the studio. You're at home with project tools (we use Monday and Slack), design tools like Figma or Canva, and AI.

Fractional Finance Director D2C E-Commerce Brand London / Hybrid The Client Harmonic is delighted to be partnering with a profitable, multi-million-pound D2C e-commerce business, with a loyal customer base across the UK, the US and beyond. With an established, AI-enabled finance function and a lean leadership team, the business is now repositioning for its next phase of growth, and this role sits at the centre of that. The Role Covering a 12-month maternity leave, the Fractional Finance Director will join the leadership team alongside the CEO and CTO, reporting to the CEO, two to three days a week. This is a strategic role rather than a hands-on one: a Senior Finance Manager leads day-to-day finance, management accounts and monthly reporting with support from external accountants, so your focus is senior challenge and judgement, testing commercial assumptions, sharpening the board narrative and keeping the leadership team focused on what drives commercial impact. You will line-manage the Senior Finance Manager and the Operations Lead, and hand back cleanly at the end of the cover period. Key Responsibilities Stress-test strategic direction with the CEO and CTO, using customer, retention and unit economics data to shape priorities, resource allocation, investment decisions, forecasts and plans. Lead finance reporting to the board, including narrative, meetings and updates, and support the Chair on shareholder relations. Guide leadership team decision-making, keeping the business focused on the priorities with the biggest commercial impact. Line-manage the Senior FP&A Manager and the Operations Lead, setting priorities and supporting their development. Oversee forecasting and statutory matters, stepping in for detailed review and judgement rather than production. Own cash and treasury management. Develop the finance stack and processes, exploring how AI can deliver sharper commercial insight. Maintain continuity through the cover period and hand back cleanly. Essential Experience Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA). FD or CFO experience in D2C e-commerce, subscription or consumer tech. Track record of board and shareholder relationship management, and the confidence to challenge the leadership team and the board. Experience partnering a CEO and leadership team to bring clarity through change. Strong commercial and data fluency (customer cohorts, retention, CAC and LTV, pricing), and comfortable working with a modern, AI-enabled reporting stack. Proven fractional or part-time track record, with high impact in two to three days a week. Desirable Experience Subscription or credit-based pricing models. Experience repositioning a business for growth. US market experience. Rate: £600-£700/day Contract Length: 12 months (2-3 days a week) Location: London (Shoreditch), hybrid, with Thursdays in the office Start Date: December 2026 At Harmonic, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and assure you that every candidate will be thoughtfully considered for the roles we represent, without regard to race, religion, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation.
