This role blends strategic channel leadership with hands‑on design — perfect for a creative who can think both like a retailer and a maker.

• Research and identify trends in worlds of toys and collectibles
• Concept development: Develop collections, elevated value collectibles and one‑of‑a‑kind products with Club channels in mind
• Trend & insights: Track toy, pop culture, and design trends to inspire new ideas and keep the brand fresh

• “Out‑of‑the‑box” thinker who can ideate and design creative new products
• Exceptional visual communication, organization, and storytelling skills
• Passion for toys, play, and pop culture
• Ability to work both independently as well as part of a team
