ABOUT US
The Children's Place and Gymboree are two of North America's most recognized children's apparel brands, each with a distinct point of view and a shared commitment to style, quality, and relevance for modern families. The Children's Place delivers accessible, everyday fashion rooted in value, versatility, and real-life wearability, while Gymboree offers a more elevated expression of children's
style through premium fabrics, refined design, and a polished aesthetic.
Together, our brands reach millions of families each season. As we continue to strengthen and evolve our creative organization, we are building a team that brings clarity, craft, and operational excellence to every expression of the brand. This role is an important part of that vision.
WHY THIS ROLE

This is an early-career opportunity with meaningful ownership from the start. It is ideal for someone who is exceptionally organized, motivated to learn the ins and outs of fashion photography production, and eager to grow into a senior producer role over time.
