Set Designer, Shopbop
Amazon
Description
As the Set Designer, you will inspire our customers through innovative set builds and prop sourcing for the imaging and activation teams— continually evolving the creative vision through best-in-class imagery executed across multiple studio environments.
This role requires a builder's mindset: someone who thrives in ambiguity, finds creative solutions where others see obstacles, and brings calm, clarity, and momentum to a fast-moving, high-volume production environment. You will work cross-functionally across editorial, production, and creative teams, navigating competing priorities and shifting timelines with a bias for action and a commitment to quality.
The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem-solver who can hold a strong creative point of view while remaining flexible enough to support the needs of multiple studio spaces and stakeholders. You are comfortable operating without a playbook, energized by the challenge of building systems and processes that scale, and deeply motivated by the opportunity to shape visual identity.
