Your New Role

Bold ideas deserve strong visuals. This Graphic Designer role is all about turning insights into stories, concepts into graphics, and creative direction into products that connect with consumers. If you’re energized by visual storytelling, inspired by culture and trends, and enjoy seeing your work come to life on product, this is the kind of opportunity that keeps things interesting.

Working within a leading global footwear and apparel organization, you’ll contribute to the development of graphics and visual elements that help define the look, feel, and narrative behind product collections. From early concept exploration through final execution, you’ll partner with cross-functional teams to create compelling designs that align with brand vision while resonating with consumers.

This role blends creativity with collaboration. You can expect to be responsible for translating briefs and insights into graphic solutions, developing illustrations, prints, patterns, and layouts, and helping ensure design intent is maintained throughout the product creation process. Along the way, you’ll likely work closely with internal partners and external vendors, balancing artistic vision with production realities to deliver high-quality results across a range of product categories.

Success in this type of position requires both creative range and adaptability. You’ll need a strong command of design fundamentals, an eye for emerging trends and visual culture, and the ability to navigate ambiguity while moving projects forward. Advanced skills in Illustrator and Adobe Creative Suite are essential, along with a solid understanding of color, composition, product lifecycle milestones, and the details that bring great design to life.
