Shape how India sees, feels, and experiences SharkNinja. As the architect of our India-first retail design language, you’ll translate global brand guidelines into locally resonant, high-impact visual stories—across Retail Stores, Modern Trade, Traditional Trade and Premium malls. This role owns the end-to-end Design → Build → Deploy ecosystem for all consumer-facing fixtures—balancing creativity, cost discipline, and speed at scale.

Define SharkNinja India’s Design Philosophy

• Create an India-centric visual identity for retail environments that aligns with global brand standards while reflecting local aesthetics, behaviors, and spatial constraints.

End-to-End Fixture Lifecycle Leadership

• Conceptualize, prototype, and deploy modular, scalable, and brand-elevating fixtures across multiple channels: – Modern Trade (Croma, Reliance Digital, etc.) – Traditional Trade (distributor hubs, premium retail partners) – High-footfall zones

POSM Strategy, Design & Deployment

• Lead end-to-end POSM (Point-of-Sale Material) creation—including header boards, shelf talkers, wobblers, demo station graphics, window decals, floor graphics, and digital-physical hybrid assets.
• Design POSM that is on-brand, benefit-led, and retail-ready—optimized for quick comprehension in less than 5 seconds
• Adapt global POSM templates for India-specific messaging, regional languages (where relevant), pricing structures, and regulatory requirements (e.g. warranty info).
• Own print production: partner with pre-vetted printers to ensure color accuracy, material quality, and cost efficiency across short and long print runs.
• Build a modular POSM system that allows for easy updates (e.g., seasonal campaigns, new product launches) without full reprinting.
• Ensure seamless integration of POSM with fixtures—no ad-hoc stickering; every graphic must feel intentional and engineered.
• Manage pan-India POSM deployment logistics, including inventory planning, replenishment cycles, and retailer coordination—minimizing stockouts and wastage.

Build a Future-Ready Vendor Ecosystem

• Build and manage a curated network of industrial designers, fabricators, logistics vendors, and installation agencies across India.
• Lead negotiations and establish SLAs to ensure high quality at optimized costs.
• Evaluate partners not just on price—but on material sourcing transparency, craftsmanship, and after-sales support.

Drive Cost-Optimized Scale Deployment

• Own pan-India rollout logistics—from metro launches to Tier 1 activations—with emphasis on speed, consistency, and asset lifecycle management.

Elevate Visual Merchandising (VM) Standards

• Embed VM best practices across all touchpoints—ensuring product storytelling, demo functionality, color zoning, and consumer engagement drive conversion and brand premiumness.

Benchmark & Innovate

• Continuously scan the competitive landscape and global retail trends to future-proof SharkNinja’s in-store presence.
• Pilot innovations like QR-enabled POSM, reusable graphic sleeves, or anti-glare laminates.

Requirements

• 5 -6 years in retail design, visual merchandising, or brand activation, preferably with a premium brand in consumer tech or appliances.
• Hands-on experience managing both fixtures and POSM—from creative concept to in-store execution in India.
• Strong material and print production knowledge: understanding of substrates (foam board, PVC, vinyl, paper stocks), lamination types, printing techniques (digital, offset, large-format), and finishing.
• Portfolio demonstrating integrated retail environments where fixtures and POSM work as one cohesive system.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), SketchUp, and basic print prep workflows.
• Experience managing print vendors and fixture fabricators with a focus on quality control, lead times, and cost optimization.
• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Visual Merchandising, Communication Design, or related field.
