About the role
Since 1906, New Balance has empowered people through sport and craftsmanship to create positive change in communities around the world. We innovate fearlessly, guided by our core values and driven by the belief that conventions were meant to be challenged. We foster a culture in which every associate feels welcomed and respected, where leaders and creatives are inspired to shape the world of tomorrow by taking bold action today. JOB MISSION: Made in USA is New Balance's defining differentiator - the tangible expression of what makes the brand singular. It lives where American craft, premium design, and real cultural authority meet. Bringing it to market with the precision it deserves is a serious undertaking. This role exists to do exactly that.

You need enough fluency to track the conversation, communicate intelligently with creative partners, and ensure execution honors the intent. The creative direction isn't yours to shape - it's yours to deliver. If you take pride in executional excellence, believe details separate great from good, and can operate confidently in a premium creative environment without needing to own the vision, this role will feel like home.
