Our client, a leading global sports and lifestyle brand, is seeking a Story Designer to shape consumer-led retail concepts and evolve their retail experience. Reporting to a Design Director and Senior Designer, you will help translate brand and product narratives into immersive environments across physical and digital touchpoints.

You are an exceptional team player, focused on execution, who can move from high-level concept to production-ready deliverables. Comfortable working across Environmental Graphic Design, fixtures, materials, and digital, you ideate, sketch, and visualize ideas, then drive them through to completion. You will develop original retail environments, displays, and digital solutions in partnership with internal and external design teams, ensuring creative intent, timelines, and budgets are met.

This role requires a forward-thinking, detail-oriented designer who can create non-seasonal retail storytelling across a broad store portfolio. You will build creative direction, generate implementation standards for consistent execution, and communicate design concepts through clear presentations and production files. You balance the needs of the consumer, the brand, and business partners while maintaining a high bar for craft and storytelling.

You bring 3–4+ years of brand design experience, a bachelor’s or master’s in graphic design, architecture, interior design or related field (or equivalent experience), and retail or experiential background. You have strong communication skills, can effectively present to senior creatives, and are fluent in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Keynote.
