We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Designer or Art Director to support a luxury retail brand on an upcoming merchandise and packaging collaboration.

This is an ideal opportunity for a thoughtful, conceptually strong designer who understands premium brands, can work independently, and knows how to translate an established creative direction into polished, production-ready design.

The Opportunity

You will support the development of a limited-edition collaboration between a luxury retailer and a premium lifestyle brand.

The work will include creative development and design execution across:

• A custom sweater
• A branded hat
• Packaging for the merchandise
• Supporting print-ready design assets

The partner brand is expected to provide select existing assets, such as logos, colours, and graphic elements. You will use these materials as a creative foundation while developing elevated, cohesive designs that feel distinctive and appropriate for both brands.

This is not a purely production-focused assignment, but it also does not require the creation of completely new illustration systems or visual identities from scratch.

What You'll Do

• Develop and present creative concepts for merchandise and packaging
• Translate existing brand assets into elevated, original design solutions
• Apply strong luxury and premium-brand sensibilities across all deliverables
• Present design ideas and clearly communicate the thinking behind them
• Incorporate feedback and direction while maintaining a strong creative point of view
• Prepare final artwork and files for print and production
• Work with supplied dielines, crop marks, bleeds, and production specifications
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external vendor partners
• Manage assignments independently with minimal oversight

What We're Looking For

• Senior-level experience as a Designer, Senior Designer, Art Director, or similar
• A portfolio demonstrating luxury, fashion, retail, lifestyle, hospitality, or premium consumer-brand work
• Strong experience designing merchandise, packaging, print, or branded collaborations
• Excellent typography, layout, and visual storytelling skills
• The ability to think conceptually and bring fresh ideas to established brand assets
• Confidence presenting creative work and explaining design rationale
• Strong listening skills and the ability to respond thoughtfully to feedback
• Experience preparing accurate, production-ready files
• A high degree of independence, initiative, and attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Experience with fashion, apparel, accessories, or limited-edition merchandise
• Experience working on co-branded or vendor-led collaborations
• Familiarity with luxury retail environments
• Experience working with external production partners

If you're a senior creative who can bring elevated thinking, strong brand judgment, and polished execution to a high-profile collaboration, we'd love to hear from you.
