About the Role
The North America Stores Creative team is on a mission to build world-class, scalable creative systems that fuel growth across every customer touchpoint. We believe great creative shouldn't just look good—it should move fast, work harder, and scale smarter. We're looking for a Creative Director who shares that belief and wants to build something lasting.
In this role, you'll own the creative vision for two of the fastest-growing areas of our marketing ecosystem: Creator partnerships and paid social.

-Partner cross-functionally with marketing, brand, and channel stakeholders to align creative with business objectives
-Govern and consult on social creative produced outside of direct ownership to maintain cohesive brand expression
