Company Overview

Frank & Eileen was born in 2009 when former engineer Audrey McLoghlin sought to reinvent the button-up for women — a category previously focused solely on men. Inspired by Audrey’s Irish grandparents—our brand namesakes, Frank & Eileen—we have grown slowly and intentionally from our best-Italian-fabric-in-the-world-obsessed beginnings. Now a globally recognized fashion brand, Frank & Eileen is a certified woman-owned, woman-led B Corp business that has retained 100% ownership while working with the same ethical, sustainable manufacturers for over a decade. Our mission is to model and support entrepreneurship as a force for good—all from our family-friendly HQ in sunny California.

The Role

The Branded Environments Manager will take ownership of all phases of each project from ideation and research, scope definition and design development to construction or fabrication, installation, maintenance and where applicable, breakdown. The ideal candidate is extremely organized, comfortable taking initiative and excellent at anticipating needs.
