We have 2 open Copy & Editorial Manager roles open. One for our Foot Locker Banner and one for our Kids Foot Locker Banner. You will be responsible for all editorial for (FL/KFL)  managing and (constantly evolving) the “voice of the brand”, meeting brand standards, driving persuasive tone and executing copy needs across all stages of brand building, product demand and ad hoc brief intake. We’re looking for best in class copy-writing that adds value, whether that be through wit or utility, which truly masters saying less, when in fact we say much more.

You must be highly motivated, organized, detail-oriented and creative. You have to be able to efficiently work from a creative brief to execute memorable content across a variety of omni-channel media. Being wired for “social/digital-first” and having a deep understanding of our brands across each marketing experience is important. You will also  manage the editorial calendars across the banners, working with all components of brand marketing to ensure we have channel-right messaging across the omni ecosystem.
