ABOUT OUR TEAM

The Converse Global Concepts team exists as the connective tissue between innovation, design, brand storytelling, and marketplace experiences. Brand Concepts is the anchor point for our products, stories, experiences, and moments—built to inspire Creators and embrace subcultures. We ensure Converse’s long-term vision is expressed through compelling narratives, world building, and deeply grounded cultural fluency.

Working upstream, we translate emerging cultural signals, creator insights, and consumer behaviors into visionary product direction, brand stories, and environmental concepts—with the end consumer experience in mind. Our team spans a broad range of creative capabilities across brand touch points and anchors upstream creative strategy to drive aligned, end-to-end excellence across product creation, merchandising, brand creative, and retail.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You will work closely with Product, Design, Brand Experience, Brand Creative, Marketing, and Merchandising partners to elevate Converse Concepts and Brand stories with the final consumer experience in mind. You’ll collaborate with internal and external consumer insights and future-focused strategy teams, and you’ll frequently partner with agencies and external creatives to bring work to life.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking a Senior Concept Designer for the Global Concepts Team with a proven ability to bring brands to life through exceptional storytelling, innovative vision, and world building—across product exploration, environments, and communication design. This is a multi-faceted creative role for a designer who can move fluidly across 2D storytelling and presentation craft and 3D environments, shaping work that earns alignment and investment from senior leaders.

You are curious, culturally fluent, and future-minded—energized by connecting emerging signals in culture, technology, architecture, materials, and design into compelling creative direction. You show up as a dedicated teammate and creative leader: you elevate the room, make the people around you better, and collaborate effectively across both creative and business functions. You bring a builder’s mindset—prototyping ideas and making them tangible—while maintaining high craft and clarity in how you communicate.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

If this is you, you’ll help drive creative solutions to large-scale Brand Vision and Experiences—turning cultural insight into future-facing concept direction across products, storytelling, and experiences. A typical week may include:

• Translating cultural signals and consumer/creator insights into concept narratives and future visions

• Building and visualizing “brand worlds” across product, graphics, storytelling, and experiences

• Developing concept explorations across 2D (decks, narratives, graphic systems) and 3D (spaces, environments, objects)

• Creating high-craft presentations that articulate intent, tell a compelling story, and drive cross-functional alignment

• Collaborating with internal teams to ensure concepts are feasible, on-brief, and on-time

• Leading and partnering with agencies/external creatives to expand capability and scale creative output

• Prototyping and building models/environments to create excitement and clarity around future ideas

• Strong narrative development and communication skills; ability to present to leadership and external partners using creative presentation styles that win alignment and investment

• Proven ability to work independently and across small/large groups on complex projects in a fast-evolving environment

• Positive, inclusive, team-first mindset—embracing diverse points of view while fostering an environment of belonging

• Preferred / Bonus

• Experience with product + prop styling and translating consumer styling into concept work

• Experience creating 3D environments and art; willingness to prototype and build tangible expressions of ideas
