Senior Creative – Spatial, Experiential & Retail Activations (f/m/d)

Team triumphs ego – and that’s how we play.  
We keep it real – as a diverse team of talented individuals, we act together to make our world a happier place.  
 
We are a community - not because we work together, but because we trust, respect and care for each other. We have unique passions, common goals, and a clear brand manifesto that keeps us focused. Our purpose, our mission, our beliefs, our culture, our values, and everything else in between guides our action. Pretty much the only thing our manifesto won’t tell you is how to play your role in our community, we have a culture of responsibility – so that’s something you’re going to have to figure out yourself. But of course, we will empower you on your journey through leadership that favors context over control.   
 
Inspired by the spirit of sports, we also cultivate an active mindset in everything we do. We believe creativity and agility thrive with fast decision-making and by embracing process-light paths. So be ready to make your ideas happen, be yourself and bring your entrepreneurial spirit.Inspire brands. Shape spaces. Elevate experiences.
In this role, you’ll lead the creation of visionary brand experiences, translating concepts into exceptional spatial and sensory moments. You will dream big, think strategically, and set aesthetic benchmarks for our global partners and projects - bringing together architectural thinking, material sensibility, and cultural insight.
With a deep understanding of how brands live in physical space, you’ll connect human truths, cultural trends, and design excellence into concepts that feel as beautiful as they are impactful. You’ll not only imagine, but also collaborate with production, spatial and design teams to ensure every material, texture, and finish speaks the brand’s language - from immersive installations and retail spaces to high-end activations and experiences.
We're looking for someone who will:

• Research and identify cultural trends, design innovations, and architectural references that can inspire internal teams and clients.
• Lead the conceptualization and creative direction of high-end brand environments, activations, and experiential spaces - with a strong focus on fashion retail, exclusive brand experiences, and out-of-the-box environments within the worlds of sports, lifestyle, and entertainment.
• Translate brand stories into spatial concepts, mood boards, and visual narratives that fuse architecture, fashion, design, and culture.
• Intertwine the world of spaces with the world of experiences, not only designing the physical environment but also imagining and shaping the activities, interactions, and moments within it that engage consumers, create emotional connections, and drive brand interaction.
• Curate materials, colors, finishes, and visual merchandising with a high level of aesthetic, ensuring each choice supports the brand’s positioning and emotional impact.
• Develop and deliver impactful presentations that blend storytelling, strategy, and compelling visuals - from mood boards to polished client decks in PowerPoint.
• Collaborate closely with architects, 3D designers, and production teams to ensure creative intent is met in execution.
• Lead supplier and fabrication partners to translate your creative vision into tangible, high-quality outcomes, ensuring every detail aligns with the concept’s intent and premium standards.
• Partner with strategy and project management teams to ensure concepts are aligned with business objectives and delivered on budget/timeline.
• Present confidently to clients, guiding them through creative concepts with clarity, insight, and conviction.
• Take on projects beyond your comfort zone, approaching new creative challenges with openness, adaptability, and a drive to excel.
