Zumiez is a leading specialty retailer of action sports apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods rooted in skateboarding, snowboarding, and youth culture. We’re fast‑moving, creatively driven, and community focused—connecting product drop culture, youth lifestyle, and authentic storytelling across digital, retail, and experiential marketing channels.

You’ll play a key role in enabling our creative and brand teams to move fast, stay authentic, and deliver standout work across all the brand marketing touchpoints—without losing control of quality or priorities.

The Marketing Resource Manager is a key support role, allocating resources for the many types of projects across the entire portfolio in support of the Marketing Managers. This role will keep our projects flowing smoothly; organize coordinator team bandwidth and coordinate creative requests and communicate timelines across stakeholders.

As part of a small, dynamic, multi-hat wearing team, qualified individuals will be able to work well in a fast‑paced, rapidly changing environment; self‑motivated; flexible; extremely organized; very detail‑oriented; tenacious yet tactful; confident and diplomatic in dealing with competing departmental objectives and varied personalities; a strong problem solver; able to work well under pressure in order to meet project deadlines; and will have a positive attitude.

You’ll be the connector between creative, marketing, and production teams (print & digital), working to ensure that the right people are working on the right projects at the right time. If you thrive in a fast‑paced, design‑driven environment and love bringing order to creative chaos, we’d love to meet you.
