Quick Summary
Mission Brief: Lead the Function That Turns Stores Into Phygital Experiences We are looking for a visionary leader to own Visual Merchandising across 2,
• The “Phygital” Mindset: You understand how a customer moves through a physical space as intuitively as they move
through an app.
• Leadership Track Record: Proven experience leading a Visual Merchandising or retail experience design function,
including building and managing a team, at a multi-format retail scale.
• Problem-Solver's Eye: You don't just see a display — you see a conversion funnel, and you lead your team to design
backward from the friction point.
• Tech-Fluency: Comfortable directing work involving electronics, sensors, or AR/VR to bridge physical product and
digital information.
• Prototyping & Rollout Experience: Track record of designing and scaling physical or digital-physical installations
across large, varied store networks.
• Data Comfort: Able to read footfall, dwell time, heatmap, and conversion data and translate it into design and
resourcing decisions.
• Budget & Vendor Ownership: Experience owning a VM budget and managing external vendors, fabricators, and
technology partners.
• Builder's Mindset You see a store as a system engineered for conversion, and you're always looking for what can be
tested and improved.
• Curious About Friction You notice the exact moment a customer hesitates, and you're driven to design that moment
away, at scale.
• Comfortable in Imperfect Environments You'd rather test something in a live, real-world store than perfect it on a
slide.
• Cross-Functional Operator You move easily between store teams, product, supply, and marketing to get an idea from
sketch to shelf — and to 2,000 shelves.
• Bias for Iteration Over Perfection You ship a version 1, watch how customers actually behave, and improve from
there.
• High-Agency Leader You build the playbook as you go, and you're as comfortable on the shop floor as you are
presenting to leadership.
