  • Guide the brand’s visual identity and creative direction, ensuring coherence across showrooms, exhibitions, digital platforms, publications, and spatial experiences.
  • Elevates the brand through bold, architectural typography that functions as a design element in its own right—sculptural, intentional, and aligned with the material language of the built environment.
  • Partner with design, product, and architectural collaborators to bring new collections, installations, and cultural initiatives to market with clarity and impact.
  • Lead the evolution of the company’s digital presence, including content, CRM, global platforms, and audience development with a design‑literate sensibility.

  • Build and mentor a high‑performing global marketing team with strong creative, operational, and analytical capabilities.
  • Establish a modern measurement framework that supports brand equity, audience growth, and long‑term cultural positioning.

What You Bring

  • 12–18 years of senior marketing leadership in architecture, furniture design, luxury interiors, contemporary culture, or design‑driven consumer brands.
  • Proven success leading brand evolution or scaling marketing organizations across multiple regions.
  • Deep understanding of architectural language, spatial storytelling, materiality, design culture, and contemporary art.
  • Strong digital fluency across CRM, content, analytics, and global brand platforms.
  • Experience partnering with designers, architects, artists, curators, and creative directors.
  • Ability to translate design‑led concepts and spatial narratives into compelling, globally resonant brand stories.
  • Executive presence, clarity of communication, and a collaborative, culturally fluent leadership style.
  • Global mindset with experience navigating diverse markets and cultural contexts.

The Impact

This is a rare opportunity to lead global marketing for a brand that sits at the crossroads of architecture, furniture design, luxury interiors, and contemporary culture. The SVP will shape how the brand shows up in the world — from creative identity to global campaigns to cultural partnerships — and will play a defining role in the company’s next decade of influence across the design and architecture landscape.
