If any of the above words resonate with you, this is the place to be.

**Who is Native Shoes looking for?**

We’re looking for an Associate Creative Director (ACD) to play a crucial role in elevating the Native Shoes brand across consumer touchpoints. Entrepreneurial in spirit, you see beyond constraints, lead by example and are constantly curious about the best ways to captivate our brand muse. Balancing both tactical and leadership responsibilities, you will lead a small Creative team made up of both in-house and freelance talent and work cross-functionally to develop and execute creative concepts, strategies, and campaigns.

**Why should I apply?**

In a fast-growing Vancouver-based company, the opportunities for creativity and impact are endless. As a lean team, we are all generalists and roll up our sleeves to get the work done. In your work, you may be concepting one day, act as a producer the next and source talent the following. You understand sometimes it’s best for the consumer to invest in a photoshoot and other days, it’s best to pull out your iPhone. Your passion for serving the consumer outweighs all else.
