WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are seeking a Senior Concept Designer for the Global Concepts Team with a proven ability to bring brands to life through exceptional storytelling, innovative vision, and world building-across product exploration, environments, and communication design.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
If this is you, you'll help drive creative solutions to large-scale Brand Vision and Experiences-turning cultural insight into future-facing concept direction across products, storytelling, and experiences. A typical week may include:
  • Translating cultural signals and consumer/creator insights into concept narratives and future visions
  • Building and visualizing "brand worlds" across product, graphics, storytelling, and experiences
  • Developing concept explorations across 2D (decks, narratives, graphic systems) and 3D (spaces, environments, objects)
  • Creating high-craft presentations that articulate intent, tell a compelling story, and drive cross-functional alignment
  • Collaborating with internal teams to ensure concepts are feasible, on-brief, and on-time
  • Leading and partnering with agencies/external creatives to expand capability and scale creative output
  • Prototyping and building models/environments to create excitement and clarity around future ideas

WHAT YOU BRING
Minimum Qualifications
  • 5+ years of progressive, technically sophisticated design experience in experiential, environmental, industrial design, or brand creative-with demonstrated impact elevating brand excellence
  • Bachelor's degree in architecture, industrial design, environmental design, graphic design, communications design, or related field. Will accept any suitable combination of education and experience and training.
  • A well-curated portfolio showcasing a strong methodology across research, inspiration, development, process, and final execution
  • Ability to show concepts through 3D modeling and rendering; proficiency in SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar
  • High proficiency in 2D design + presentation tools (Keynote, Adobe Creative Suite, Miro, Figma)
  • Expert craft with materials palettes and environmental toolkits
  • Strong narrative development and communication skills; ability to present to leadership and external partners using creative presentation styles that win alignment and investment
  • Proven ability to work independently and across small/large groups on complex projects in a fast-evolving environment
  • Positive, inclusive, team-first mindset-embracing diverse points of view while fostering an environment of belonging
  • Experience creating 3D environments and/or art; willingness to prototype and build tangible expressions of ideas - excited to get "hands-on" to make things"
  • Demonstrated success working with agencies/external creatives in service of a broader brand vision
  • Passion for product styling, culture and fashion and ability to translate consumer styling into concept work
