Overview

Embedded in the Retail organization and reporting to the Store Design & Development Manager, you'll collaborate with a wide network of stakeholders, including Real Estate, Retail Operations, VM, Marketing, IT, Finance, and external design and construction partners. The role combines hands-on design development and 3D visualisation with disciplined project management from concept through completion.

If you are equally comfortable developing a design concept, building a clear 3D design proposal, and steering a complex project to the finish line, this role gives you the opportunity to elevate our design capability while ensuring projects are delivered with precision, consistency, and impact.

What You'll Do

• Actively participate in shaping and evolving store design concepts, layouts, fixture applications, and customer journeys in line with Crocs brand standards and commercial objectives.
• Produce and review 2D and 3D design materials, including space plans, visualisations, design intent packages, presentations, and technical drawing mark-ups.
• Translate global design direction into locally relevant solutions across owned retail, wholesale, and distributor environments, protecting design intent while responding to site and market needs.
• Partner with VM, Marketing, Retail Operations, Real Estate, and global design teams to ensure the physical environment, product presentation, and brand experience work together cohesively.
• Review design submissions from architects, partners, and vendors, provide clear creative and technical feedback, and drive design quality through approvals.
• Lead store development projects from concept to completion, managing scope, programme, budget, risks, approvals, and key milestones.
• Manage external partners, including architects, general contractors, landlords, consultants, and suppliers, to secure timely and high-quality delivery.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, contracts, budgets, cost estimates, invoices, and approvals, while identifying value-engineering opportunities that do not compromise the design intent.
• Communicate project progress, decisions, risks, and dependencies clearly to internal stakeholders and senior partners.
• Coordinate store handover and operational readiness, and continuously improve design and delivery processes to increase quality, efficiency, and scalability.

What You'll Bring to the Table

• BS or BA in architecture, interior design, retail design, construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Minimum 5 years of experience combining retail design, store development, retail construction, or project management.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating retail or branded-environment design, space planning, 3D visualisation, and the ability to translate concepts into executable solutions.
• Strong proficiency in 3D and design software such as SketchUp, Enscape, AutoCAD, Revit, Adobe Creative Suite, or equivalent tools.
• Solid knowledge of construction processes, permitting, fit-out, technical documentation, budgets, timelines, and vendor management.
• Demonstrated project management capability, with the ability to manage scope, timelines, budgets, risks, approvals, and multiple stakeholders.
• Highly organised and able to balance creative development with the disciplined management of multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication, presentation, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to give clear design direction and influence cross-functional and external partners.
