A shapeshifter at heart, you'll be able to channel different tones across many touchpoints, while effectively balancing our business goals with those of our merchants. Drawing on a proven history of collaborating across teams and disciplines, you'll be a bridge-builder and a dot connector. You'll use your love of helping others and sharing knowledge to help the team learn and grow. Our team is a closely connected, fast paced team that's truly passionate about developing experiences that'll capture the hearts of new audiences.
