Position title: Managing Director

Location: East London (4 days office, 1 day remote) Salary: £150,000–£180,000 + bonus (flex for an exceptional candidate, equity potentially available)

Description

Exec Capital is recruiting a Managing Director on behalf of a fast-growing direct-to-consumer fashion brand with a distinctive, subculture-led identity, based in East London.

Our client is a profitable, fast-growing business built by its young founders and now established at scale. Revenue is split approximately 30% UK, 30% US and 40% across the rest of the world, with strong digital channels and a growing international footprint. The business is culturally relevant, profitable today, and ready for its next phase of growth.

This is not a corporate appointment. It is a hands-on Managing Director role inside a creative, founder-led business with a strong consumer following and a brand identity that has to be respected, not diluted.

We are looking for someone who has personally been there before — who has scaled a fashion or consumer brand from founder-led scale-up to mid-market scale, in the MD, GM or CCO seat.

The Opportunity

You will take full P&L ownership and run the business day to day, freeing the founders to focus on creative direction and brand. You will build the commercial discipline, operational infrastructure and senior team required to take the business through its next phase of growth — sustainably, profitably, and across the UK, US and international markets.

You will be the senior business leader: partnering closely with the founders, bringing structure without corporatising the culture, and delivering against an ambitious multi-year plan.
