District Manager - J.crew Factory (Long Island)

Our Story
We're J.Crew Factory, and we believe shopping should be fun. Our brand is built on creating timeless styles that last season after season-while still making sure to stay in front of what's next. We also believe in looking like a million bucks, not spending it, which is why we go the extra mile to source the best fabrics at the most accessible prices. We also know that we have a responsibility to the planet and to humanity to choose eco-friendly fabrics and to support our factory workers, without compromise. We aim to cultivate high-quality employees so together, as a team, we can mirror our brand values: creativity, inclusion and collaboration. If this sounds like you, we want to talk. At J.Crew Factory, there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet.
