• Lead seasonal and long-term creative calendars
• Co-create culturally relevant collaborations with artists, designers, and tastemakers

You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of senior creative leadership across fashion, interiors, lifestyle, or hospitality
• A portfolio that blends creative originality with commercial success
• Experience building and scaling high-performing creative teams
• Deep fluency in storytelling, aesthetic systems, and cultural trends

• Global, editorial sensibility and refined design taste

Bonus

• Experience designing for immersive retail or hospitality environments
