Reporting to the Senior Creative Lead in our EMEA Creative Studio, you will help conceptualize, develop and deliver world-class spatial designs that express On’s identity through innovative use of form, material and narrative. Working with internal and external partners, you will translate On’s innovative spirit into memorable, locally relevant experiences for our fans across EMEA. Your Mission * Adapt and localize global brand campaigns, tailoring their design and storytelling to create impactful, multi-door retail experiences across the region. * Elevate the On retail environment by applying your expertise in 3D design, set design and scenography to translate concepts into locally relevant retail campaigns across all spatial touchpoints. * Oversee the design of campaign activations for new store openings, pop-ups, and special events across our retail network. * Drive the roadmap for the region, planning ahead and overseeing projects from strategic planning to creative execution. Work with external agencies, providing clear direction and managing feedback to ensure exceptional, scalable campaign executions. * Collaborate with global and regional teams across Visual Experience, Retail, Marketing and Production to ensure a cohesive and impactful brand presence at every touchpoint. * Champion creative problem-solving and challenge the status quo, using your design expertise to push boundaries and create dynamic, forward-thinking retail spaces. Your Story * You’re likely to have 6+ years of experience in campaign or retail experience design for a premium, multi-door DTC brand. * You have a portfolio that showcases your technical skills in 3D design, drawing and rendering - with a strong emphasis on retail environments and physical spaces, including windows, in-store spaces and pop-ups. * Your expertise may span across 3D design, set design, spatial or scenographic design. * You have experience with production drawings, material specification, and build processes. * You’re an innovative and entrepreneurial thinker, consistently pushing creative boundaries and translating new ideas into tangible, executed designs that convey premium brand positioning. * You’re an expert at managing multiple projects simultaneously, delivering high-quality work to tight deadlines without compromising on precision or excellence. * You have a track record of successfully leading agencies or other partners to bring complex designs to life at scale through translating brand vision and design intent into actionable direction. * You’re adept at navigating complex organizations, collaborating seamlessly across global and regional teams to achieve shared goals.
