Duration: 6-month role with option to transition into a permanent Co-CEO position
Start: Ideally March 2026
Location: Remote (Germany highly preferred)
Founded in 2019, The Slow Label has grown into an independent fashion brand with a strong creative vision and a loyal international customer base. As founder Anna-Laura Amenta prepares for her maternity leave starting in May, we are seeking an experienced Interim Co-CEO to join ahead of time and lead the business through this transitional phase.
The founder will remain involved at a strategic and creative level. This role is designed for a senior leader who can take CEO-level responsibility for the commercial and financial leadership of the company within clearly defined strategic and financial guardrails.
Role
As Interim Co-CEO, you will join the company ahead of the founder’s maternity leave to ensure a handover and alignment phase, before assuming responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and overall performance of The Slow Label during the leave period.
Your mandate is to safeguard business continuity while further strengthening the company’s foundations. This includes overseeing financial performance, setting clear priorities, and introducing additional structure and strategic clarity, in order to support sustainable growth.
The role combines hands-on leadership with strategic oversight. You will work closely with the team across all core functions — including production, logistics, and e-commerce — while maintaining a strong focus on financial health, decision-making, and execution.
The Slow Label is currently focused on direct-to-consumer growth in Europe, with a strong presence in the DACH region. During the interim period, the emphasis is on ensuring stability, financial clarity, and strong execution of the existing business, while thoughtfully strengthening structures where needed.
Following the 6-month interim period, there is a clear interest in continuing the collaboration, potentially evolving the role into a permanent Co-CEO position, depending on mutual fit, company needs, and shared vision.
Your Responsibilities
* Lead the business through a structured handover and transition during the founder’s maternity leave
* Act as Interim Co-CEO, with responsibility for the company’s commercial, financial, and operational performance
* Own the P&L, including budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow management, and KPI definition and tracking
* Review and strengthen structures to improve transparency, efficiency, and decision-making
* Assess and refine the company’s cost base, resource allocation, and organisational setup
* Set priorities and translate strategic objectives into clear, actionable plans
* Lead and support the team: clarify roles, manage performance, and selectively hire as needed
* Oversee production planning, balancing efficiency, quality, and sustainability
* Solve operational and business challenges with a hands-on, pragmatic approach
* Explore opportunities for additional channels or markets while consolidating the core direct-to-consumer business
* Work in close alignment with the founder, who remains involved at a strategic and creative level
Your Qualifications
* 5+ years of experience in senior leadership roles (CEO, Managing Director, General Manager, or similar; fashion, consumer goods, or e-commerce preferred).
* Proven experience owning and managing a P&L within a consumer, fashion, or DTC business
* Experience delivering growth, and building scalable operational structures.
* Strong financial and analytical skills with a data-driven mindset.
* Experience leading and supporting small teams, providing clarity, structure, and direction
* Comfortable in a lean, entrepreneurial environment — able to balance strategy with hands-on day-to-day problem solving.
* Passionate about fashion, branding, and sustainable growth.
* Ability to bring structure and strategic clarity to growing businesses
* Interest in brand-led, values-driven companies
Our Offer
* A CEO-level interim role with meaningful responsibility and influence
* A clearly defined 6-month duration with the opportunity to transition into a longer-term (potentially Co-CEO) partnership
* Close collaboration with the founder before, during, and after the maternity leave
* Flexible working arrangements (remote, preference for Germany-based candidates)
* A creative, purpose-driven company culture where your impact is tangible and valued.
