Job description

Overview

California - within a Philz Market in the SF Bay Area or Los Angeles

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Brand & Creative who’s as comfortable leading big-picture, brand vision as they are rolling up their sleeves to bring ideas to life. You’ll be the hands-on architect of our visual identity — concepting brand campaigns, directing creative across all channels, and executing breakthrough, emotionally resonant work that makes people say, “That’s so Philz.”

As a hybrid thinker-doer, you’ll set the vision and make it real, shaping the look, feel, and tone of the Philz brand across retail stores, eCommerce, and Wholesale.

This is a highly collaborative, cross-functional role where you’ll translate business objectives into impactful, customer-first creative that deepens emotional connections and drives growth — all while embodying our mission to Better Days and championing Philz core values every day.

This role is remote, giving you the flexibility to work from home while staying closely connected to where the action happens - our stores. To make the most of that connection, you’ll need to be based in either the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles.
