Job Description
The ideal Principal Designer is a strong strategic and conceptual thinker who possesses a wide range of creative capabilities – including a solid background in multi-platform digital, print and environmental executions at scale, art direction, typography, identity and branding, packaging, print production, and environmental/store visual design.
Although this is an individual contributor role, the role will require being an inspirational and effective thought leader with other members of the team, and leading and mentoring junior team members.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to brand strategy and the role of creative in expressing and supporting it.
- Drive projects independently, developing and executing creative concepts that demonstrate vision, meeting business/marketing objectives and supporting the overall brand and creative strategies.
- Execute digital deliverables with a high degree of accuracy and efficiency, adapting master templates across channels and formats.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, brand, project management, and creative teams.
- Curiosity in researching and implementing emerging design tools and technologies — especially those that support automation and execution at scale.
Required Skills & Experience
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto layout, variables, and shared library management.
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
- Proven core design skills (typography, spatial relationships, systematic design development).
- Solid understanding of design systems and brand governance — how to work within them, maintain them, and advocate for their consistent use.
- Strong multi-platform digital design skills across web, email, social, and display formats.
- Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent deliverables with strong attention to detail and adherence to deadlines.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with marketing, brand, project management, and creative.
- Customer-centric mindset with data-informed design thinking.
- Curiosity in leveraging ai-powered design tools to accelerate design production workflows.
- Developing knowledge of possibilities with video editing and new media explorations, fashion styling, copywriting/editing, environmental design and other aspects of creative that collaborate closely with design/art direction.
- Never-ending curiosity; knowledge of and enthusiasm for fashion and the creative/intellectual universe that surrounds it.
To Apply
Please attach your résumé and provide a link to your portfolio. Work samples that demonstrate template systems, design libraries, or scaled campaign executions are strongly encouraged.
