JOB SUMMARY

A dynamic writer to tell our brand story and create the narrative around our products. This role is responsible for crafting the storytelling for all international markets and sites (APAC, EU, CN, JP, Middle East, AU, Brazil, India, etc.) and pushing the brand forward through smart, engaging copy that inspires and informs the customer across all touchpoints. You will be the master of messaging for specific regions; you will shepherd and shift the message depending on where it appears. Through close collaboration with design, photo, visual, social, PR and marketing/business partners, you will translate broad creative ideas into tight concepts and executions that resonate within our global markets. This role will bring a nuanced, localized lens to all projects, as well as a strong editorial and fashion point of view. The ideal candidate will be able to connect stories and messages to the larger world of fashion, culture and key seasonal trends —while always remaining true to the voice and vision of Tory Burch.
