Join Our Team at Storm Creek!

About Us: Hi! We're Storm Creek-a women-owned, sustainably-made, year-round clothing brand that cares deeply about the earth. We proudly donate over 5% of our profits to environmental and community causes that matter to us. Here's a bit more about us so we can really get to know each other.

At Storm Creek, we thrive in three dynamic channels: corporate/promotional, retail/resort, and direct-to-consumer. We don't just talk the talk-we live our core values every day. From sparking curiosity to fueling our growth mindset, we're all about purposeful action and relentless innovation. "Good enough" isn't in our vocabulary-we aim higher, think sharper, and collaborate harder. And giving back? That's in our DNA. We're charging full steam ahead to hit $5 million in charitable donations by 2030. Turns out doing good can look good, too.

We're honored to be named one of PPAI's Greatest Companies to Work For in 2024, ranked in the top 2% of promo products suppliers nationwide, and a proud member of Minnesota Keystone at the 5% giving level. Translation? We're a fantastic place to work. Ready to see what all the buzz is about? Come join the fun!
