Lead - Retail Architect

New York City

In short:

On is expanding its retail presence and shaping the future of performance retail. We’re looking for a dynamic Retail Design Lead, reporting to the Sr. Lead - Retail Design, to help bring our vision to life across the Americas. In this role, you’ll lead the store design workstream for new retail locations — with a primary focus on franchise stores — in close collaboration with internal teams and external partners.

 

You’ll combine strong design thinking with project management skills to create spaces that reflect On’s unique identity and elevate the customer experience. This is a key role in supporting On’s next phase of growth and innovation in physical retail.

 

Your Mission:

- Lead the end-to-end design process for franchise store projects, and support DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) store openings when needed — from initial concept through to build-out

 

- Translate On’s brand, values, and visual identity into architectural design, ensuring consistency and quality across all store environments

 

- Deliver design packages, including zoning concepts, 3D modeling, visualizations, sample boards, and presentations for internal approvals

 

- Ensure compliance with On’s global design guidelines, local building codes, landlord criteria, and health and safety standards

 

- Partner with franchisees, local architects, external design firms, contractors, and suppliers to deliver spaces that meet On’s standards and timelines

 

- Review architectural drawings to verify alignment with the approved design concept and intent

 

- Collaborate closely with internal teams — Leasing, Construction, Retail Operations, Visual Experience (VM), Retail Technology, and IT — for a coordinated and smooth execution

 

- Monitor design progress, ensure on-brand execution, and support landlord communications, visiting sites as needed throughout the project lifecycle

 

Your Story:

- 6+ years of experience in an architectural or design role, designing for premium retail brands

 

- Led design projects for premium retail stores from concept through completion

 

- Technical expertise in 2D and 3D drawing and rendering, using tools such as AutoCAD, SketchUp or Enscape, V-Ray, Adobe Creative Suite

 

- Experience in construction detailing and fixture development, with a deep understanding of how design translates into build environments

 

- Knowledge of building codes, accessibility standards, and other relevant construction regulations

 

- Fluency in Spanish and/or Portuguese is required

 

- Willingness to travel up to 15% of the time; travel percentage will fluctuate based on business needs

 

Your Team:

At On, we stimulate creativity and innovation and foster On spirit within everything we do.  You will be part of our small but dynamic Retail Design team responsible for multiple cross-functional projects ranging from market analysis, retail strategy and concepts to supporting the teams that develop and  execute fit-outs ranging from Shop-in-Shops to large flagships. At On, we believe in pushing the limits of what’s possible—both in our products and in the experiences we create.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
