Come join our growing, in-house creative department where we’re looking for big ideas to tell our story in new ways that connect with our customers. The Digital Design Director is responsible for shaping and evolving Whole Foods multi-channel campaign strategy and leading teams of designers to execute confidently across all digital touch points. In partnership with content and in-store design, you will bring a sophisticated knowledge of how campaigns can come to life in the places our customers experience our brand. We are looking for campaign consistency balanced with channel customization across e-commerce, web content, email, social media, paid media and in-store digital.

At your core, you are passionate about motivating and inspiring teammates on all levels to produce the best work of their careers. You know how to provide helpful critical feedback that energizes instead of deflates your team and builds towards stronger future work. Your experience guides you towards knowing when to push the creative boundaries and when to stay the course and your analytical mind helps you to understand the opportunities and limitations of different digital platforms.
