Born and raised in Manhattan, the daughter of archaeologists, Ulla Johnson honed her signature style between the streets of New York and the far-flung destinations of their family travels. Her eponymous line, founded in 1998 just after her graduation from university, immediately caught the attention of the fashion press. Growing from a handful of directional boutiques and with
an early endorsement from Barneys New York, Ulla Johnson’s collection has gained a dedicated following and the support of retailers across the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The Ulla Johnson label has become synonymous with custom prints, intricate embroideries, and fine tailoring, all of which have earned her a loyal and global customer base.

As part of a growing department that drives and services all brand visual output, Ulla Johnson is looking for a Creative Producer to join the Creative Services team. The role will be integral in working with the Senior Art Director to deliver brand content. The role will manage a variety of projects as well as establishing overall department processes. The Creative Producer will be responsible for delivering end to end production (from pre to post production) across campaign, advertorial, OOH, print, packaging and special projects. They will partner with teams within and beyond the department to drive the most successful productions to realize creative vision on time and on budget.
