Integrated Marketing Manager International

Description

Casper is seeking a Marketing Manager, UK & EU to act as the key liaison between the Marketing and Creative teams in New York and the European offices to bring Casper’s global brand vision to life in Europe. This person will report to the VP, Marketing based in Berlin and partner closely with the VP, Marketing, the Integrated Marketing team and Creative team in New York.

The ideal candidate will have an international background with the experience to understand and bridge cultural nuances, but also believe that great brand-building comes down to flawless execution across borders. So, rolling up one’s sleeves and staying closely involved with the work is critical, while also managing and communicating across multiple teams and timezones for future growth and success.

Casper (casper.com) is a global sleep company that launched in 2014 with an obsessively engineered, outrageously comfortable mattress sold directly to consumers. Its critically acclaimed sleep surface was developed in-house, has a sleek design, and is delivered in a small, "how did they do that?"-sized box. The company, recently named by Consumer Reports as America’s #1 Rated Mattress Brand, is one of the fastest-growing consumer brands of all time, and its product line has expanded to include sheets, pillows, a matching foundation, a dog mattress and bedroom furniture. The digital-native brand also now owns/operates over 20 retail stores across the US and Canada, with plans to significantly increase the fleet in 2019. It is also made available to consumers through wholesale partnerships including Target, Otto in Germany and Argos in the UK, among others. Casper was named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies, and its eponymous mattress was crowned one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions. What hasn’t changed since inception is the brand’s mission of bringing better sleep to more people, and raising awareness of sleep as a critical part of health and happiness.

We are deeply committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce so that we represent all those who dream big equally.
