Stord is The Consumer Experience Company, powering seamless checkout through delivery for today's leading brands. Stord is rapidly growing and is on track to double our revenue in the next 18 months. To meet and exceed this target, Stord is strategically scaling teams across the entire company, and seeking energetic experts to help us achieve our mission.

By combining comprehensive commerce-enablement technology with high-volume fulfillment services, Stord provides brands a platform to compete with retail giants. Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms. Stord is leveling the playing field for all brands to deliver the best consumer experience at scale.

With Stord, brands can increase cart conversion, improve unit economics, and drive sustained customer loyalty. Stord’s end-to-end commerce solutions combine best-in-class omnichannel fulfillment and shipping with leading technology to ensure fast shipping, reliable delivery promises, easy access to more channels, and improved margins on every order.

Hundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order. Stord is headquartered in Atlanta with facilities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Stord is backed by top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Franklin Templeton, Founders Fund, Strike Capital, Baillie Gifford, and Salesforce Ventures.

Following Stord’s recent $250M Series F at a $3B valuation, we are entering a new phase of scaled growth, expanding our category leadership in modern commerce infrastructure and accelerating how we tell our story to the market.

The Director of Brand and Communications is the architect of how Stord shows up in the world. Reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, you will own Stord’s brand strategy, brand studio, content, PR, and corporate communications: the full stack of how we tell our story, build our reputation, and earn the trust of DTC founders, ecommerce leaders, and the broader commerce ecosystem.

This role is for a builder who operates fluently across strategy and execution. You have strong opinions about what great brand looks like, a track record of turning positioning into compelling creative and editorial work, and the credibility to lead a studio team while managing agency and media relationships. You understand that brand and demand are not in opposition, they are mutually reinforcing, and you build programs that prove it.

You will play a key role in shaping and scaling Stord’s external narrative during a period of rapid growth, ensuring consistency, clarity, and differentiation across every audience and channel.

You’ll partner closely with Product Marketing, Demand Generation, and Sales to ensure Stord’s brand narrative is cohesive, credible, and commercially effective across every touchpoint.
