Brand Director

Company Overview:

Tactacam is a leading innovator in outdoor and action camera technology, dedicated to providing high-quality products that enhance the outdoor experience. With over 1,000,000 active customers, we continue to push the boundaries of technology, design, and functionality. Our team is passionate about developing cutting-edge products, and we offer exciting opportunities for career growth in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Job Overview:

Great brand marketing doesn’t just build awareness—it creates competitive advantage. Defend by Tactacam exists to protect what matters in places Wi-Fi can’t reach—job sites, ranches, farms, marinas, and remote properties. We bring cellular security to people who actually need it, wrapped in a brand that’s bold, human, and unmistakable.

We’re looking for a Brand Director for Defend—a strategic brand owner who can make Defend impossible to ignore. This role is about building brand preference, not just awareness. You will own Defend’s positioning, narrative, and go-to-market clarity, ensuring everything we put into the world—from campaigns and product launches to retail storytelling and partnerships—feels unmistakably Defend.

You’ll partner deeply with our Creative Director to translate strategy into storytelling, with Product and CX to ensure the brand promise is real, and with Performance, Retail, and B2B teams to ensure the brand drives growth.

This is not a passive stewardship role. It’s for someone who wants to shape perception, challenge assumptions, and build a brand that delivers real business impact.

Responsibilities:

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Own Defend’s brand strategy, positioning, and long-term narrative

Clearly articulate who Defend is for, what problem we solve, and why we win

Define Defend’s role in the cellular security category—and push the market to see it differently

Establish and evolve Defend’s messaging hierarchy and tone of voice

Campaign & Go-To-Market Leadership

Lead Defend’s annual and quarterly brand planning

Define campaign strategies, audiences, and success metrics across DTC, retail, B2B, and partnerships

Own GTM strategy for new product and feature launches

Partner with Performance Marketing to ensure brand and demand work together as one growth engine

Creative Partnership

Partner closely with the Creative Director to shape creative direction and storytelling

Provide clear, inspiring briefs that translate strategy into world-class creative

Help evolve Jack the Donkey’s role in the brand—when he shows up, what he represents, and why he builds trust

Ensure creative work ladders back to brand strategy and customer truth

Cross-Functional Leadership

Act as the internal voice of the customer across Product, CX, Sales, and Leadership

Ensure brand promises align with real customer experiences

Support retail, B2B, and partnership storytelling with clear positioning and messaging

Partner with leadership to align the organization around a bold, focused brand vision

Measurement & Scale

Own brand health metrics (awareness, consideration, preference) alongside performance outcomes

Use customer insight, market research, and competitive analysis to evolve strategy

Help mentor and develop future brand team members as the organization grows

Requirements:

7+ years of experience in brand management, marketing strategy, or product marketing

Proven track record owning and growing a brand—not just supporting one

Deep understanding of brand positioning, customer insight, and messaging frameworks

Experience partnering with creative teams to bring strategy to life

Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority

Comfort presenting to executive leadership and defending strategic decisions

Experience working in fast-paced, entrepreneurial, or challenger brand environments

Experience in security, construction, ag, outdoor, or B2B-adjacent categories

Background in DTC + retail brands

Experience with subscription or hardware-enabled products

Experience launching new products or defining new categories

What sets you apart:

You believe brand is a growth lever, not a “nice to have”

You obsess over clarity—who this is for, why it matters, and why it wins

You balance long-term brand building with short-term business impact

You think in narratives, not just taglines
