- A degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Merchandising, International Business, or a related discipline.
- Strong proficiency in CAD and 3D design software, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, supported by a portfolio of relevant work.
- Experience creating technical packages, specification sheets, and managing product sampling with manufacturers.
- An understanding of materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes, ideally across wood, metal, stone, glass, or textiles.
- Strong commercial instincts with experience in product costing, supplier negotiations, and value engineering.
- The ability to manage multiple development projects, timelines, and competing priorities.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, particularly when working with international manufacturing partners.
- A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with an interest in using technology and AI to improve workflows.
- Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach.
