D2C Talent

D2C Talent: We build the teams that build the brands.

D2C Talent is part of CloudScope Group and is the executive search firm for direct to consumer and ecommerce brands. It places Chief Growth Officers, retention and lifecycle leaders, omnichannel directors and digital executives who balance growth with customer lifetime value.

The Era of Commerce and Community

The direct-to-consumer landscape has completely transformed. The days of simply running social ads to a basic store are gone.

Today, the brands winning the market are powered by hyper-efficient unit economics, integrated social commerce ecosystems, and flawless omnichannel strategies.

Modern D2C requires modern leadership. Brands are no longer hunting for standard ecommerce generalists.

They need visionaries who can balance aggressive growth with sustainable customer lifetime value, leaders who understand composable tech stacks, data-backed performance creative, and the complex logistics of global fulfillment.

Executive Architects of D2C

The story of a brand is told by those who lead it. D2C Talent doesn’t just fill seats.

We act as the strategic bridge between the world’s most ambitious D2C brands and the executive visionaries who scale them.

Backed by the national infrastructure of the CloudScope Group, we combine deep sector expertise with the powerhouse resources of a major recruitment leader. This partnership allows us to offer a boutique, highly specialised search service that is supported by institutional strength.

We operate at the intersection of brand and performance, identifying the elite tier of leaders, the top 1% who don’t just follow the D2C rulebook, but rewrite it.

Finding that level of rare technical and commercial expertise, or finding the forward-thinking brands that actually know how to leverage it, requires a highly specialised partner.

Whether you are a scaling startup or a global powerhouse pivoting to digital-first, we open the door to the partners who will define your next chapter.

Specialised Strategic Pillars

In the current market, a standard manager is just the baseline. We headhunt the modern executive titles that represent the core pillars of a top-tier D2C company.

• Chief Growth Officer (CGO): Owning the entire funnel, focusing purely on the critical intersection of customer acquisition costs and long-term lifetime value.

• VP of Retention & Lifecycle: Focusing on CRM, loyalty loops, and personalised post-purchase journeys, because keeping a customer is more valuable than finding a new one.

• Director of Omnichannel Strategy: Ensuring the brand experience remains completely seamless across physical retail, wholesale, and digital touchpoints.

• Head of Social Commerce & Community: Turning brand followers into high-intent shoppers through platforms like TikTok Shop and integrated social ecosystems.

• VP of D2C Operations & Supply Chain: Managing the complex backbone logistics of global fulfilment, last-mile delivery, and inventory agility.

• Chief Digital Officer (CDO): Ensuring the tech stack, AI-driven personalisation, and data privacy frameworks are entirely world-class.

• Director of Performance Creative: Bridging the gap between high-level brand aesthetics and data-backed ad performance.

Meet Ashley

Ashley leads D2C Talent, CloudScope Group’s brand for e-commerce and executive hiring at UK direct-to-consumer brands.

He started his career in media, so he knows how brands build an audience, tell their story and turn attention into revenue. He then moved into marketing recruitment, matching marketers with the businesses that needed them and learning what makes a great hire in a fast-moving, consumer-facing team.

Ashley now brings both sides together at D2C Talent. He understands the commercial pressures direct-to-consumer brands face and the people who help them grow. Founders and leadership teams get a recruiter who speaks their language, and candidates get someone who knows the brands, the roles and what it takes to succeed in them.
