What You'll Bring

We are looking for a creative leader with deep experience shaping brands across apparel, lifestyle, and/or consumer businesses, who has specifically worked for omni-channel businesses with a strong ecommerce emphasis, ideally at $100M+ in revenue. You are:
  • Passionate about storytelling
  • Experienced at bringing creative clarity and conviction to brand and seasonal campaigns that can be applied practically across key touchpoints
  • Effective at driving cross-functional collaboration and execution
  • Familiar with the complex seasonal dynamics of an apparel business
  • Adept at working across channels including DTC ecommerce, wholesale, marketplaces, and retail

What We Offer

We want our team to feel supported, valued, and able to thrive - at work and beyond. Our benefits include:

  • Generous time off (3-4 weeks of PTO, unlimited sick time, 10 holidays + winter break) and leave options (including 12 weeks fully paid for all new parents)
  • Multiple medical, dental, vision, and pre-tax accounts
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Perks like an employee discount, monthly learning (or gym) stipend, home-office reimbursement, and manager team-building fund
  • A kind, colorful, and collaborative culture


Ready to Apply?

We're excited to grow our team with people who share our curiosity, care, and creativity. At Primary, we believe great work happens when everyone feels seen, supported, and free to bring their full selves - just like the kids we design for.

If this role sounds like a fit, we'd love to hear from you.
