Interim Director of Creators + Community

About this role

About Bobbie

Bobbie makes European-style organic infant formula manufactured end-to-end in the U.S., because we believe every parent deserves to feed their baby with confidence, without judgment and without compromise. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just clean, thoughtfully made formula that parents can trust.

But Bobbie has never been just a formula company. When the 2022 national infant formula shortage left parents across the country unable to feed their babies, we closed our storefront to new customers rather than leave a single existing family without formula. We went to Washington. We got loud. And we opened our Heath, Ohio manufacturing facility to make sure something like that could never happen again.

That's who we are, and that's what you'd be joining.

Bobbie for Change

Our advocacy arm, Bobbie for Change, exists because making great formula isn't enough if the systems around parenthood are still broken. We fight for paid federal parental leave, push for legislation to prevent future formula shortages, advocate for feeding equity, and support families navigating impossible situations, including donating formula to parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers through the Bobbie Breasties program.

We're a company that genuinely believes becoming a parent makes you an activist. The people who work here feel that too.

About the role

Bobbie is looking for a full time Interim Director of Creators + Community to own and scale how our brand shows up through the people who love it. This is a full time, director-level role that leads the full creator and community function for the brand organization, spanning the Bobbie Besties creator program, IRL community events, community-driven and influencer partnerships and a national ambassador program.

You will translate brand and messaging strategy into creator-led programs that build awareness about Bobbie online and in store, deliver measurable growth, including for upcoming product launches. You will set the strategy, own the budget, and build the team, managing managers and coordinators while partnering closely with brand, growth, retail, and product marketing.

This is a maternity leave cover of ~8 months. This role reports to the Marketing Director for day-to-day, and the Chief Brand Officer for larger support.
