As Bolsius expands internationally, the role of Head of Brand Experience becomes a crucial one in creating the first book that tells the brand story and establishes a clear brand position. This role requires a unique mix of a marketing strategist and a creative mind that is passionate about the home ambiance category.
The Head of Brand Experience bridges the gap between the technical part of Bolsius and the consumer who needs a brand story bigger than the product. They will have the opportunity to employ their strategic marketing knowledge along with their passion for creative storytelling as they'll be working closely with an advertising agency to establish a narrative that makes consumers see the brand within the context of their own daily lives.
Team leadership is another important aspect of this role. The Head of Brand Experience will be building the team while steering other category leaders towards their success. They will motivate people with the same entrepreneurial spirit of Bolsius and are happy to take on new challenges, facing the unknown while creating new opportunities.
The Head of Brand Experience will work from the headquarters of Bolsius in Schijndel on most days with the possibility of working from home on some. They will also travel to visit other locations of Bolsius in other countries, helping other branches grow at the same pace and deliver the same brand experience across all the different markets – all while gaining more insights from the manufacturing facilities that can be injected into their storytelling campaigns.
