• Manage stakeholders and communicate effectively.

What You’ll Bring:

• Expert-level graphic design skills, with a strong portfolio showcasing both 2D and 3D work.
• A deep understanding of visual merchandising and in-store environments—you get how branding works in retail spaces.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud—this is second nature to you.
• Advanced 3D visualization skills (SketchUp, Cinema 4D, or similar)—you can design, render, and showcase fixtures in 3D.
• Creativity in spades—you think big, bold, and beyond the obvious.
• Ability to work at speed, juggle multiple projects, and meet deadlines.
• A team-first attitude—collaborative, adaptable, and always up for a challenge.
• Familiarity with global brand guidelines and how to make them work across different markets.
• Experience in using Figma a bonus.

This isn’t just another design job. It’s a chance to make your mark in a fast-moving, no-BS environment where your work will shape how our brand shows up in stores worldwide.
