Description

In short

We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented Visual Merchandising Sr. Specialist (2D/3D Design) to own and elevate On’s global VM guidelines and visual tools across DTC, B2B, and Showrooms. Reporting into the VM leadership team, you will turn editorial concepts into high-quality 2D and 3D renders, build scalable guidelines, and ensure our brand aesthetic is seamlessly executed across all global markets. You bring a strong background in graphic and spatial design, technical mastery of design software, and a passion for bringing product storytelling to life in physical retail environments.

Your mission

  • Global Guideline Management: Own and manage global Visual Merchandising guidelines, toolkits, and standards for DTC, B2B, and Showroom environments across all markets.

  • 2D & 3D Concept Rendering: Translate editorial and seasonal concepts into clear, immersive 2D graphic layouts and 3D renders to visualize spatial layouts and zoning.

  • Tool & Training Development: Collaborate closely with the Head of VM and Senior Lead DTC VM to design and develop core VM tools, general presentations, and structured training assets.

  • Regional Execution & Support: Partner directly with Area VM Leads to guide on-the-ground execution, resolve design queries, and ensure regional alignment with global standards.

  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Build strong working relationships with DTC, Merchandising, and Buying teams to ensure product strategies, correct assortments, and commercial priorities are reflected in all global VM communications.

  • Reporting & Deadlines: Manage and maintain the Global VM reporting deck, ensuring accurate and timely deliverables for the BX team across all DTC store formats.

Your story

  • Design Background: You hold a university degree (or equivalent) in Editorial Design, Interior Design, or a related field, with a minimum of 4 years of proven experience as a 2D graphic / 3D specs designer or in a similar spatial design role.

  • Technical Software Mastery: Highly proficient across Mac/PC platforms with advanced skills in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and 3D software (e.g., SketchUp). Knowledge of animation/motion design is a plus.

  • Creative & Strategic Balance: You seamlessly blend creative thinking with strategic planning, turning abstract ideas into practical, scalable design frameworks.

  • Meticulous & Organized: You possess strong project management skills and exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.

  • Collaborative Communicator: You excel at building relationships across departments (Merchandising, Buying, Field Teams) and communicating design intent with clarity.

  • Autonomous & Passionate: You are a self-reliant problem solver who thrives taking ownership, driven by a genuine passion for visual merchandising, fashion, design, art, and retail innovation.

Meet the team

We ensure that wherever the brand meets people in the real world—be it on a global stage, within an athlete environment, at a summit, or in a B2B setting—it feels unmistakably On: premium, coherent, and rooted in innovation. Translating brand intent into physical reality through guidelines, toolkits, and execution frameworks.

What we offer

On is a place that is centered around growth and progress. We offer an environment designed to give people the tools to develop holistically – to stay active, to learn, explore and innovate. Our distinctive approach combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose.

On is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a work environment that is fair and inclusive, where all decisions related to recruitment, advancement, and retention are free of discrimination.
