Background

Practice is a company that develops companies. We’ve helped brands like Ritual, Allkinds, and Glowbar go from zero to 100. Now, we’re looking to hire an Internal Product Lead to help us tell the full story of what we do and why it matters. 

Working with our founder, Michelle, you’ll help cultivate community and drive conversations that build awareness of our unique operating model. 

The role will start as a contract position based in our Brooklyn headquarters, with the intent to expand to full time in 12-18 months. At first, you’ll be leading our community events and managing internal and pro-bono projects. Eventually, you’ll be pitching and leading entire projects that support our overall business goals.

Responsibilities

• Creative Production: Working with our distributed team of designers and strategists, you’ll develop creative briefs and oversee the execution of internal products like Dirt Baby and Outer Work. 

• Media Relations: Working with our PR team, you’ll tell the story of how we’re raising the bar for ethical commerce. For example: publicizing launches like our rebrand of French Connection to Unison. 

• Event Production: You’ll help found a community space in our Brooklyn office by fulfilling the co-working space needs and producing events for creative professionals across disciplines. You’ll plan, promote, and execute all of the logistics to make these a thoughtful, inclusive reflection of our brand.

• Project Management: You’ll own budgets, set and enforce schedules, and manage vendor relationships. You’ll work asynchronously to communicate priorities to the team and plan internal work around existing commitments.

• Strategic Planning: You’ll translate Michelle’s vision into clear goals, deliverables, and timelines that tie back to company objectives. As we get further into the process, you’ll look for tools and tactics to help streamline operations, improve communication, and deliver faster on our goals.

Requirements

• Experience Level: While we don’t require a certain number of years of experience, this is a mid- to senior-level position, not entry-level.

• Education: We have no educational or degree requirements.

• English Proficiency: You have native or fluent English.

• Based in NYC: You live in the NYC metro area at least 80% of the year.

• Onsite Work: You’re willing to work onsite in an open-plan office.

• Events: You’ve produced a small- to mid-sized event for a professional audience

• Past Launches: As part of the interview process, we’ll ask you to present a project you’ve helped launch or produce. This could be a brand, a product, a marketing campaign, an event, or any other project that showcases your ability to own execution and tell the story of your work.

Expectations

• You’re comfortable working behind the scenes.

• You have high standards for visual design and written communication.

• You anticipate and prevent problems or miscommunications.

• You give direct, helpful feedback respectfully.

• You take constructive feedback with curiosity.

• You navigate difficult conversations with confidence and tact.

• You know how to make your point quickly and effectively with execs.

Culture

Practice makes purpose. 

Our partnerships focus on quality and longevity, not quantity or speed. We’re in business to build category-defining brands that raise the bar for ethical commerce. 

Our process, which we call brand development, goes deeper than brand identity alone. Whether we’re revitalizing an established brand or bringing a bold new idea to market, we support every aspect of the business, from supply chain to social media. We consider our clients an extension of our team, and work closely with founders, investors, and C-suite executives.

We’re small, and we plan on staying roughly this size for good. We are a remote team, with our headquarters and most of our staff based in NYC. Our office is in Brooklyn, with local employees spending Tuesdays and Thursdays onsite.
