Senior Design Leader
We are seeking a senior design leader to own the creative and commercial direction of our seasonal, holiday, and home décor product lines for the US and Canada markets.
About the Role
This is a dual-mandate role. First and foremost, you set the trend direction, lead buyer-facing presentations, and carry the design relationship with our major retail clients — you are the design voice in the room with the buyer.
What You Will Do
Trend, Client & Buyer Direction (primary focus)
Own the seasonal and year-round trend direction for US and Canada mass-retail — read the market early and translate emerging trends into commercial, on-price assortments.
Lead client and buyer-facing presentations: be the design voice in line reviews, seasonal presentations, and at trade shows.
Build and own relationships with key retail buyers and merchandising teams — understand each account's aesthetic, price tier, and what wins on their shelf.
Direct the creative vision across seasonal (Christmas, Halloween, Easter) and year-round home & garden lines.
Partner with merchandising and sourcing to convert client briefs and retail trends into compelling, sell-through-driven product assortments.
Drive original product development — from trend research and concept through to production-ready specifications.
