At Old Navy We Make Value Cool.

From day one, Old Navy was a revolution. We were something the world had never seen - fabulous, affordable fashion. We didn't take ourselves too seriously, and we broke the industry's rules. We said fashion didn't have to be just for rich people. It could be for everyone. We opened our first store in 1994 and we've been on a tear ever since. We were the fastest retailer to reach $1 billion in sales within four years and today we're one of the largest apparel brands in the world, operating more than 1000 stores across the US, Canada, Puerto Rico & Japan. Over 350 million (that's not a typo) customers cross our doors each year.

The Events Manager is responsible for bringing the fun and energy of Old Navy to life within the territory. The Events Manager will serve a market of approximately 100 stores by helping them drive traffic and ensure customer and store experience expectations are met or exceeded. This role is a subject matter expert on each of the stores in their markets and will play a critical role in influencing others on solutions that promote a fun and engaging store and customer experience.
The Events Manager will also ensure store teams understand, celebrate and sell our product through localization of events. They will inspire others and foster a culture of continuous growth and evolution. They will lead their teams to bring our brand to life through "gotta get it, jaw dropping, feel good fun" for our employees and customers. And they will help us evolve from running stores to creating an Old Navy experience that's an integrated part of Jennie's life - setting us apart from competitors and helping us drive results.
