— The bodyguards dress-code is ‘black suit’, ‘white shirt’, ‘black tie’ and (most importantly) ‘black sunglasses’.
— The dress code is not 100% strict, but the general theme is “the kind of person you see defending the U.S. President”

Feel free to message if you’d be interested and I can add your name to the list of actors on that day.

How it started …

SPOKE began with one big idea:

Fit comes first – but most brands can’t deliver it.

They churn through styles and spread themselves thin across lots of stores – leaving leave huge size gaps, which we all fall through. The clothes we wear are often uncomfortable or unflattering – and a pain to shop for.

It doesn’t have to be like this, we thought. We could use e-commerce to customise each order – offering a flawless, personailsed fit, without the hassle and expense of bespoke.

So we did. In 2014 we set about building a digital menswear brand – using the reach of the web – to focus on aspirational men, and the things that really matter to them.

Starting with fit.

How it’s going…

In seven years we’ve acquired more than 200,000 customers and sold more than 500,000 trousers in the UK, the US and now Germany.

In legwear, we’ve discovered the perfect category – underserved and underloved – yet full of rich opportunity to do things better. Legs are where the action is – they’re astonishingly varied and they do extraordinary work. It’s about time someone gave them the attention they deserve.

We’ve developed a range that runs the board from casual shorts to smart wool slacks, via chinos and cords – and we’ve recently introduced a burgeoning new denim collection.

More than half of our customers shop again, and 20% return within 30 days – the best endorsement we could ask for. We are onto something.

We recently closed our Series B round, raising from a mix of storied VC’s and brilliant angels.

We’re in the sweet spot. We have real traction, and money to invest behind our ideas – but we’re still young enough that you’ll see your impact every day.

You’ll point to SPOKE and say ‘I did that’. And it will feel great.

Requirements

You will

• Develop ideas and collaborate with our Creative team on creative strategy, concepts and planning
• Build and maintain a mini-Studio – you’ll play a pivotal role in the operation of our in-house Studio, acting as a critical point of contact for all content production needs
• Build and nurture an extraordinary network of model agencies, photography studios, stylists and photographers
• Develop the SPOKE style, acting as the day to day guardian of our look and aesthetic, managing and briefing our stylists in line with this (and occasionally styling yourself)
• Turn the brand marketing calendar into a rolling production plan
• Make shoots happen – project manage the production of all creative assets, from video footage to simple e-commerce shoots ensuring their quality and timely delivery
• Manage a budget for all shoot activity, transparently and proactively
• Deliver beautiful finished assets – driving shoot output through post production into a polished state we can all be proud of
• Act as a brand guardian – developing and upholding creative guidelines, ensuring consistency in visual standards
• Manage our assets – designing and maintaining a proper archiving approach, logging the details, keeping detailed records of all image usage restrictions

You’ll have:

• Some production experience, managing still and/or video shoots
• Extraordinary attention to detail
• Strong aesthetic sense, high standards. Styling experience a bonus – esp in menswear.
• Great project management skills – the ability to plan work, track progress and keep the wheels turning
• Experience managing budgets
• Unusual levels of hustle – you make things happen, and you get things done autonomously.
• The ability to juggle multiple priorities with ease
• A proactive, can-do attitude.
• An authentic enthusiasm for video, digital and photo production.
• The standard startup toolkit: initiative, energy, a high degree of comfort in an unstructured environment, and a willingness to work across a broad range of roles

Benefits

• A competitive salary
• 25 days of holiday – and 1 additional for each year of service
• Vitality health insurance
• 3% pension matching
• 3&2 working week – work from home (or anywhere else) 2 days per week
• Perhaps the most generous ‘trouser allowance’ anywhere in the world*
• unproven, but likely

Workplace & Culture

We’re an ambitious and driven lot. We’re building a household name – and to do that, you need to jump in with both feet. So as a team we value Pace, Accountability, Distinctiveness and Ambition. We push ourselves – and you need to be ready for that.

But we’re also passionate about creating a workplace that we all want to spend time in – a workplace characterised by a bit of humanity. Monday morning should feel good – and at SPOKE you encounter a culture that is collegiate, and friendly and supportive – as well as ambitious.

Of course we invest behind the usual suite of team building and bonding activities – whether that is learning to make pots, throw axes or tear around Thorpe Park on some spurious scavenger hunt. There’s an annual mini-golf open, a grand prix, and once, a company Crossfit olympiad. On reflection, that was probably harder work than it needed to be, but … we had fun.

Our office is, honestly, bloody lovely. Its a 30 second walk from Richmond station, so just 20 minutes to Waterloo – but also a stone’s throw from the Thames, 5 minutes from Richmond Common … and in the shadow of Kew Gardens.
