The Role

We'relooking for aGlobalDesign Directorfor Shark Hometo define what Shark looks like — and where it goes next.

Thisisn'tjustan execution role. You shape product identities, build visual systems from scratch, and architect creative platforms that drive demand across the full funnel. You work upstream — with product, insights, and marketing — influencing how products are positioned, named, and brought to life before briefs are written.

You think in systems, not assets. Platforms, not one-offs.Speed and taste that scalesacross every touchpoint and performs in the real world.

You'reas comfortable sweating the smallest pixel as you are concepting a campaign platform from scratch — and you understand that bothmatterequally. You bring sustained creative rigor to everything you touch: the willingness to go back to an idea, pressure-test it, refine it, and push it further untilit'sgenuinely right. That kind of discipline — applied consistently across a high volume of work — is what it takes to succeed here.

You'refluent in modern creative tools, includingChat, Claude andnode-based canvas for image and video creation likeFigmaWeave or a similar platform, using them to accelerate exploration and hold a high bar for taste and originality. You lead and grow a design team while staying hands-on in the work — setting the standard by doing it yourself.

• Define product identities from 0 to 1 in partnership with product and insights teams

• Work upstream to shape product positioning and opportunity areas before the brief

• Build scalable visual systems and campaign platforms that travel across channels

• Design for modern attention — platform-native, performance-aware, brand-building

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of designers while staying actively in the work

• Use AI tools to push the pace and quality of exploration

• Present and sell creative direction to senior stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• A portfolio thatdemonstratesstrong conceptual thinking, visual systems,packagingandproduct identity work

• Proven ability to define and launch brand and product identities from the ground up

• Experience working upstream with product and insights to shape positioning

• Strong instincts for motion and social-native design

• High craft standards at every level of the work — from system architecture to execution detail

• Deep fluencyAdobe Creative Suite andmodern design workflows

• A working, opinionated relationship with AI in the creative process

You'llThrive Here If You

• Think like a builder — systems, not one-offs

• Care about creating demand, not just making things look good

• Are equally at home concepting a campaign platform and perfecting a singlelayout

• Hold yourself to a high standard of creativerigorand expect the same from your team

• Commit to an idea for as long as the work demands — revisiting, refining, and raising it untilit'sgenuinely excellent

• Move fast, iterate often, anddon'twait for perfect conditions&
