Art Director

Foot Locker is looking for a culturally plugged‑in, visually sharp Art Director who loves great design as much as great ideas. Someone who can concept full campaigns from scratch and craft beautiful, trend-forward visuals that resonate deeply with today’s youth culture—especially Gen Z. Not just a sneakerhead, but someone who gets the broader cultural landscape: fashion, music, sport, street style, creators, gaming, and emerging online aesthetics.

You’ll help shape the visual voice of Foot Locker across Europe, inspiring your team with your taste, clarity, and creative instincts. You'll work both independently and collaboratively, bringing energy and a can‑do attitude to everything you touch.
