JOIN US For our Amsterdam team (on-site), we are currently looking for a Design Manager (all genders) with a strong technical backbone to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical feasibility for high-end retail projects. Become part of our community - we look forward to meeting you! ## De rol You translate creative briefings into retail campaigns and window installations. You create high-quality renders, precise technical drawings (CAD/Rhino), and production-ready documents within budget and timelines. You drive material selection (wood, metal, sustainable options) and define feasible, scalable construction standards. You act as quality control for production sheets and prototypes, providing technical guidance to production partners and internal prototyping. You work closely with Project Management, Production, and clients to ensure a smooth workflow from design to set-up. You visit locations to check technical possibilities and oversee installations of window displays and in-store activations across Europe. ## Wie je bent You hold a degree in Product/Industrial Design, Architecture, Engineering, or a related technical design field, like theatre/stage construction. You have 2+ years of professional experience in 3D, retail, or exhibition design, with deep knowledge of prototyping and technical production. You are an expert in Rhino and KeyShot/Enscape, proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and MS Office, and open to AI solutions in the design process. You possess deep knowledge of materials and manufacturing methods, balancing high aesthetic requirements with production constraints. You communicate confidently in English - knowledge of German, Dutch, or French is a strong plus. You are a solution-oriented, pragmatic thinker who stays calm under pressure and is motivated to accompany installations on-site. Please note that this is an on-site role that requires regular office presence in Amsterdam; full remote work is not possible. ## Wat je kunt verwachten DIVERSITY & PEOPLE: Come as you are!
