At Crocs, Inc., every career offers a chance to make a real impact. No two journeys look the same. And that's exactly how we like it. Whether you're welcoming customers into our stores, collaborating with global teams at our headquarters, or keeping operations moving at our distribution centers, your impact is real and valued. At Crocs, Inc. you're not expected to fit a mold. You're encouraged to break it and create something better.

Overview

Crocs is seeking a Sr. Director, Head of Content Production, to lead the people, partners, systems, and production craft that bring our brand stories to life around the world.

The Global Studio is more than a production engine. It is where creative ambition becomes real, where an idea becomes an image, a film, a product story, or a digital experience that millions of consumers encounter. Reporting to the Vice President, Global Creative, this leader will shape how Crocs creates content with greater impact, consistency, speed, and imagination.

This individual will lead the full global studio ecosystem across campaign, e-commerce, video, post-production, and digital asset management. They will build the right mix of internal capabilities and external creative partners, elevate production craft, and design modern ways of working that help teams move at the pace of culture without compromising the idea or the brand.

The ideal candidate is both a creative production leader and an enterprise builder. Someone with exceptional taste, deep production fluency, and the operational vision to create a future-ready studio. This individual is encouraged to understand how to protect the creative idea and unlock talent. They should make complexity feel clear and turn investment into content that strengthens the brand and drives the business.

THE KIND OF LEADER WHO THRIVES HERE

You see production as a creative discipline, not simply a service or a handoff.

You understand how images, films, product stories, and experiences build a brand over time.

You have exceptional judgment and taste, and you know how to translate a creative vision into work that feels distinctive, relevant, and unmistakably Crocs.

You are equally energized by the big idea and the details that determine whether it lands.

You build trust across creative, marketing, product, digital, merchandising, finance, legal, and regional teams.

You lead change with clarity and empathy, helping teams adopt new tools and ways of working while raising the creative bar.

You stay curious about culture, creators, emerging technology, and new models of content creation.

At Crocs, we call that Wonderfully Unordinary.

What You'll Do

• Lead with a studio vision by defining and delivering a global studio strategy that turns brand ambition into a modern, connected content ecosystem.
• Elevate the brand through craft by setting a high bar for photography, film, motion, e-commerce, social, and post-production so every asset strengthens the Crocs brand.
