Growth & Special Projects Manager

About Ash & Erie

We’re Ash & Erie, the first major brand for shorter men. We’re a small team based in downtown Detroit and dedicated to helping men 5’8” and below look and feel their best. It goes beyond shirts, pants, patterns, and even fit. It’s the feeling of confidence knowing that there’s an entire brand that believes your height is perfect.

About the role

We’re looking for someone who can help drive growth through creative marketing, partnerships, and special projects. This is a flexible role for a generalist who is excited to work across marketing, ecommerce, and CEO support at a small consumer brand. You will have significant responsibilities and own core projects for the business from day one.

What you’ll do:

• Lead creative growth ideas that bring in new customers outside of paid ads
• Help develop and run partnerships, events, and brand collaborations
• Manage Shopify backend operations, including product listings, inventory, and site updates, with increasing ownership due to upcoming team coverage changes
• Take on special projects tied to growth, operations, and day-to-day company needs
• Work closely with the CEO on a mix of strategic and executional projects
• Step into ambiguous problems, figure things out quickly, and move independently

What success looks like:

• You can own projects with limited structure
• You understand the big picture, not just your lane
• You bring strong judgment when working with external partners
• You are comfortable representing the company professionally
• You can balance creative thinking with practical execution

Ideal profile:

• Experience working with small, fast-moving companies
• Great executive presence and relevant experience who can hit the ground running
• Some background in consumer, CPG, ecommerce, retail, brand, or partnership work
• Strong business sense and a high level of hustle
• Comfortable working with external stakeholders
• Able to learn quickly and operate with minimal hand-holding
• Bonus if you’ve worked in marketing or growth at a small company before

Potential role mix:

• 50% marketing, partnerships, and events
• 25% ecommerce / website management
• 25% CEO support and special projects

Good fit for someone who:

• Likes wearing multiple hats
• Wants exposure to how a consumer business operates end to end
• Can adapt as company needs change
• Is as comfortable doing scrappy execution as higher-level thinking

This is a full-time remote position. If this position sounds like a good fit (pun intended!), we would love to connect!
