• Collaborate with marketing, social, ecommerce, paid media, product and project-management teams.

• Ensure assets are delivered on time, on brand and to an excellent standard.

• Develop and maintain brand guidelines, visual systems and creative best practices.

• Identify workflow inefficiencies and introduce solutions that improve speed, clarity and output.

• Support campaign ideation, concept development and creative planning.

• Maintain consistency across international markets and distribution partners.

• Stay informed about design trends and cultural movements across sneakers, fashion, streetwear and youth culture.

What we're looking for

• At least five years' graphic-design experience, including one to two years in a senior or lead position.

• A strong portfolio covering brand, digital, social and campaign work.

• Experience within a fast-paced, brand-led or creative-agency environment.

• Proven experience mentoring designers and providing clear creative feedback.

• Excellent understanding of brand systems, typography, layout and visual storytelling.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.

• Familiarity with relevant design and AI tools.

• Experience collaborating with creative, marketing, social and commercial teams.

• Strong communication, organisation and stakeholder-management skills.

• The confidence to manage multiple deadlines while remaining calm under pressure.

• A genuine interest in sneaker, streetwear and youth culture.
