Brand Manager Jobs in Austin, TX

At Huckberry, we build gear and tell stories that inspire and equip a life well-lived. We live at the crossroads of style, utility, and outdoor adventure, bringing millions of guys timeless essentials, field-tested stories, and unforgettable experiences.

As Brand Marketing Manager, you own the heartbeat of the Huckberry brand. You will architect and run the priority initiatives that transform casual browsers into lifelong brand advocates - from tentpole campaigns and key city takeovers to experiential activations and community storytelling. You are the connective tissue bridging Creative, Product Marketing, Partnerships, and Channel teams around a single narrative, ensuring every touchpoint reads as one unmistakable brand.

You are equal parts brand strategist, field producer, project leader, and mentor. You know how to measure the real weight of brand building (awareness, share of search, sentiment, community engagement), and you bring a sharp point of view on where men’s style, gear, and outdoor culture are headed next.

This role is based out of our headquarters in Austin, TX; relocation support will be provided to a remote hire.
