Kid's Designer: Beauty & Hair (Hybrid)- Jersey City

About the Role

We’re building the future of product for kids — playful, expressive, and experience-led. As a Cross-Category Kids Designer, you’ll create trend-driven collections across accessories, lifestyle, and gifting, with a core focus on beauty and hair. This is about designing products that aren’t just worn or used — but played with, shared, and experienced. From tactile formats to “get ready with me” moments, you’ll bring to life products that sit at the intersection of creativity, self-expression, and fun.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Across Categories (with Beauty & Hair at the Core)
• Create innovative beauty and hair-led experiences — from styling kits and DIY formats to interactive and collectible products.
• Build cohesive product worlds that connect across categories while maintaining a strong beauty identity.
• Create Experience-Led Product
• Design with play, discovery, and repeat engagement in mind.
• Develop products that tap into behaviors like “get ready with me,” customization, and social sharing.
• Push boundaries on formats, materials, and usability to create standout experiences.
• Collaborate Across CFTs
• Partner with Merchandising to shape assortments that balance creativity with commercial needs.
• Work with Brand & Marketing to ensure product storytelling is cohesive across campaigns and channels.
• Align with Planning to meet margin, volume, and timeline goals.
• Collaborate with Production to bring designs to life with quality and speed.
• Drive Innovation & Trend Relevance
• Stay ahead of trends across beauty, hair, accessories, and play.
• Identify whitespace opportunities, especially in beauty-meets-play and hair experimentation.
• Continuously evolve product to stay fresh, relevant, and exciting.

Qualifications

• A designer who understands kids’ behavior first — curious, expressive, and experience-driven.
• Passionate about beauty and hair, with a strong point of view on how they are explored and experienced.
• Fluent in AI-powered design tools and excited by new ways of creating.
