Responsibilities

• Lead the Brand Experience

• Translate brand strategy and creative platforms into cohesive design systems and experiences that feel unmistakably connected regardless of where someone encounters the brand.
• Ensure every expression—from a social asset or digital interface to a dealership, activation or cultural experience—contributes to a larger, ownable brand world.
• Bring a sophisticated understanding of modern luxury and premium experience to the work, ensuring aspiration and craft are evident at every touchpoint without relying on conventional luxury codes.
• Design Across Places, Spaces and Channels - Lead and guide design across integrated brand experiences, with a significant emphasis on physical environments, activations, retail, hospitality, dealerships, events, installations and cultural experiences.
• Understand how customer journeys, spatial design, environmental design, content, interaction and programming work together to create meaningful experiences.
• Help teams conceive physical experiences that are designed not only for the people who encounter them firsthand, but to generate participation, content, conversation and social expression far beyond the physical footprint.
• Connect IRL experience with content and social thinking from the beginning rather than treating amplification as something added afterward.
• Bring enough understanding of experiential production and feasibility to guide concepts toward ideas that can ultimately be realized, while partnering with specialists on technical execution.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in design, brand experience, creative direction or related disciplines, with meaningful experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A portfolio demonstrating the ability to build and steward premium brand experiences across multiple forms of expression, rather than excellence within a single channel.

• Strong brand and visual design fundamentals, including identity, typography, composition, photography, motion and visual systems.
• Meaningful experience designing for physical places, spaces, environments or experiential programs, and an understanding of how those experiences connect to broader brand and cultural ecosystems.
• A strong understanding of how physical experiences can generate content, participation and social expression.
• The ability to think simultaneously at the level of brand system, customer journey, environment, content and individual touchpoint.
