Graphic Design Manager - Visual Systems
About The Position
Marc Jacobs International, driven by the visionary leadership of Marc Jacobs, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Graphic Design Manager to be on our Creative Services team based in our New York City (SoHo) headquarters. They will help define, evolve, and execute the brand’s visual systems across digital, motion, and emerging platforms. This role is ideal for a designer with exceptional taste, strong point of view, and deep curiosity about culture, art, and technology, someone who thinks in systems, not just assets. This is a hands-on role for a designer who can move fluidly between concept, craft, and execution, bringing modern tools (including AI) into the creative process to push the brand forward. This position sits at the intersection of design, art direction, motion, and experimentation. You are someone who has clear opinions about color, typography, composition, rhythm, and storytelling — and who knows how to translate those opinions into work that feels current, expressive, and distinctly Marc Jacobs. You are not here to maintain the status quo. You are here to help shape how the brand looks, moves, and communicates in a video-first, culture-driven world.
