Are you an exceptionally creative professional with a deep background in spatial design, ready to transform physical spaces into captivating narratives? This is your chance to leverage your unique 3D spatial perspective to translate storefronts into multi-dimensional, architectural storytelling environments.

Your vision will directly influence how millions experience the brand, leaving a lasting impression with every installation.

What You'll Do

• Develop compelling seasonal storyboards, visual concepts, and 3D mockups for upcoming visual campaigns and flagship storefront windows, setting the stage for unforgettable brand experiences.
• Apply advanced 3D spatial design principles, including scale, proportion, lighting, sightlines, and depth, to maximize the high-impact real estate of storefront window frames.
• Select, source, and rigorously test innovative materials, prop elements, kinetic features, lighting setups, and spatial fixtures, ensuring creative vision aligns with budget and structural safety standards.
• Collaborate closely with external fabricators, prop makers, print vendors, and local store build teams, overseeing construction to ensure designs translate seamlessly from CAD renderings to stunning physical reality.
• Lead hands-on, on-site setup and installation of complex window environments, often requiring tight turnarounds, precise spatial assembly, and efficient execution during evening or off-hour installations.
• Plan, execute, and decommission rapid seasonal turnarounds, such as Holiday, Spring Flagship, and Brand Takeovers, ensuring seamless transitions without disrupting retail operations.
