About The Position

We’re looking for a Social Creative Specialist who is, at their core, a visual storyteller — someone who loves social media and knows how to create and elevate good content into high-performing content across key platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and beyond. Based in Lenexa, KS, this social-first creative role is working alongside the social creative team to shape the look, feel, and vibe of our brands across our platforms. You’ll be highly involved in the social creative process, from concepting and planning to shooting, editing, and pulling together branded content using a mix of original captures, existing assets, and platform-native formats. You’ll partner closely with our Social Creative Manager and Social Strategy team to plan, execute, and elevate our social presence. As a great team player and go-getter, you’ll join fellow social creative specialists to share insights, learnings and inspiration on the regular. Day-to-day work may also include content ideation and creation, trend scouting, performance interpretation, partnership with stores, and occasional travel for on-site content capture. We’re a company built on doing things differently, and we’re looking for someone who’s naturally curious, collaborative, and energized by new ideas — someone who thrives in a fast-moving creative environment and helps make it inspiring, innovative, and fun.
