Creative Director, Retail Experience and Brand, Global Creative Studio- (Hybrid/US)

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

The Creative Director (CD) leads internal teams and, at times external agencies to deliver business value by leading the development and application of the highest brand and creative standards across the enterprise's most complex and expansive Retail lead creative initiatives.

The Creative Director will manage directs, leading a broader team of creatives, and setting the direction of the Creative Studio's culture, processes, and organization to maximize cultural impact and effectiveness.

The Creative Director brings a trend-forward, inspiring, team-first attitude with their direct reports and is equally comfortable pitching concepts as they are at guiding the ideas of others into brilliant and impactful creative assets. Leveraging your deep background in retail branding, graphic design, and advertising to bring the Starbucks brand to life in innovative ways while ensuring the brand shows up consistently and effectively for our customers globally.

  • Drive development of dynamic and innovative creative solutions and response to briefs for specific business and marketing projects and acts as an advocate for the customer and brand while skillfully steering stakeholders and partnering with cross-functional peers to develop key strategies.
  • Support a diverse portfolio of key initiatives relevant to internal Studio goals and Enterprise – wide objectives and strategically assigns creative teams – partners with Studio peers to plan and align on the annual scope of work.
  • Think strategically about creative solutions as an advocate for the customer and brand, steering stakeholders, championing creative work while pursuing the brief's objectives, and may partner with stakeholders to inform or co-author briefs.
  • Role model and coach a positive attitude and actively create a productive environment that promotes inclusion, collaboration, empathy, and respect — actively manage the team dynamics and proactively build the Global Creative Studio's culture.

  • Experience setting campaign creative direction and shaping omnichannel, multi-disciplinary creative projects.

Partners have access to short-term and long-term disability, paid parental leave, family expansion reimbursement, paid vacation from date of hire, sick time (accrued at 1 hour for every 25 hours worked), eight paid holidays, and two personal days per year.
