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.”
