WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

This role sits inside the Global Jordan Brand Creative Studio — a team that brings art direction, narrative, spatial design, and brand concepts together to shape the future of Jordan Brand storytelling. The Director reports to the Sr. Creative Director, Brand Design, Global Jordan, and operates at the center of a broad cross-functional ecosystem. This role partners deeply across Brand Experience, Creative Operations, Production, Art Direction, Narrative, Retail Marketing, Digital Marketing, and Global Marketplace — while also working in close alignment with Store Development, Real Estate, and other horizontal partners to bring concepts to life end-to-end. Success in this role requires the ability to lead across functions, align diverse stakeholders, and connect creative vision to the realities of physical space, business strategy, and global scale.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Jordan is looking for a bold, visionary leader who pushes the edges of retail design. Someone who sees stores as powerfully crafted experiences — part architecture, part emotion, part culture.

This person blends creative intuition with strategic clarity and elevates ideas into globally scalable concepts. They lead with conviction, guide teams with purpose, and operate seamlessly across creative and cross-functional partners to move work forward.

They bring a deep command of experiential design, a pulse on cultural and aesthetic trends, and the ability to craft environments that connect the brand to consumers in meaningful, modern ways. Just as important, they are an enterprise leader — able to navigate complexity, influence decisions, and build alignment across functions like Store Development, Real Estate, and Marketplace. They communicate with precision, collaborate naturally, and thrive inside a fast-moving, highly matrixed environment.
