- Build effective working relationships with internal teams and external partners to support feasibility, timelines and shared goals.
- Partner with business and retail teams to create tailored design pitches aligned to customer needs and strategic priorities.
- Research, develop and deliver original creative work where needed, including identifying gaps in available brand assets.
- Create tools and guidance that improve product development ways of working (for example training materials and brand “101” documents) to support regional needs.
- Work closely with Account Managers and the BALA team to ensure product development aligns with contractual terms.
- Keep up to date with creative, retail and product trends, and spot potential new categories and opportunities.
- Research consumer and competitor trends to inform design direction, highlight regional insights and identify gaps.
- Coordinate samples and best-in-class references for trade shows, partner meetings and marketing/PR.
- Contribute a creative viewpoint in key meetings, including retail meetings and partner days.
