About Ritual

Based in sunny Los Angeles Ritual is a new kind of health brand led by the belief that you should know exactly what’s in your vitamin and how it works. We use only the best nutrient forms and publish our sources and research for all to see -- because transparency is kind of our thing. Our mission is simple: to inspire women to feel their best, every day, through healthy, daily habits.

Our team of curious skeptics is made up of world class scientists, artists, e-comm whizzes, and straight up hustlers. We’re small, well-funded, and on a mission to reinvent an entire industry. If you’re a team player and questioner who refuses to settle for pseudoscience, and thinks outside of the traditional marketing box, we want you.

About The Role

As a customer-centric brand marketer you think holistically about the entire customer journey, and includes all the touchpoints -- brand discovery, purchase, the unboxing experience, and the post-purchase lifecycle. And in doing so, you will have ideas on how to measure and optimize these pieces of the customer journey through the lenses of lifetime value and word-of-mouth. At Ritual, we believe the relationship with the customer is the most sacred element of a direct to consumer business, and you will dream up all the ways we convert our customers into best friends for life.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual who wants to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing e-comm brand as a first mover in our marketing organization. Why? You’ll have ample autonomy and freedom, work alongside the heads of all departments, and drive strategy for a mission-driven brand that is reinventing an industry and rapidly scaling. The cards are stacked in your favor, so what are you waiting for?

This role requires a broad skill set and the right candidate will be a confident and inspirational manager while also being strategic, creative; they will enjoy problem solving and always want to push boundaries. If you gravitate towards “Name Your Job” applications because traditional marketing roles are too “traditional”, this might be the job for you.

• Communicator. You write well, understand the power of storytelling, and can parse through the numbers to uncover the story within.

• Experience: 6-8 years of retention marketing or digital advertising experience in a fast-paced environment.
