Kanye West is hiring.
As posted on adidas’ job board, the company’s Portland headquarters currently has 17 job openings on the Yeezy product development and design teams. The job offerings range from Design Director to Senior Manager Public Relations.
Any applicant for the Director Development Footwear/Apparel requires (at minimum) four years of college or university and “seven years of work experience in the athletic footwear industry, specializing in product development, design and / or marketing,” according to the job posting.
On June 29, Ye and adidas announced the expansion of their partnership, one that could potentially turn the “Famous” rapper into a billionaire. It was noted that they’d be looking for the “best design team in the country.”

adidas also helped foot the bill for Kanye West’s Madison Square Garden “Yeezy Season 3” fashion show, where he hired hundreds of models to stand around while blasting the world’s first listen of The Life of Pablo.
