Job description

Hand a blank artboard to most people and they freeze; hand it to you and a campaign falls out, which is why Macys is hiring an Art Director. The creative charter, the $181,000 - $267,000, the 12-year ask — all of it points to a Macys role built for owners, not order-takers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop creative campaigns that translate Macys's strategy into compelling storytelling
• Knead a clumsy stock photo into something that feels shot for Macys
• Curate and art‑direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Sustain a 12-week sprint cadence without letting the work go generic
• Convert vague craft‑obsessed adjectives from a brief into concrete, defensible choices

What You'll Bring

• Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
• Familiarity with the Santa Rosa market and local creative landscape
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• Comfort with the hybrid cadence of a Santa Rosa‑based operation
