Vice President, Global Visual Merchandising

This Role is Tailor-Made for You Because: You are a visionary creative leader who understands how powerful brand storytelling comes to life in physical spaces. You thrive at the intersection of creativity, consumer experience, and commercial impact, translating brand strategy into compelling visual experiences that inspire customers and elevate the brand across every retail touchpoint.

As VP, Global Visual Merchandising, you will define the global creative vision for visual merchandising and brand environments, shaping how Tory Burch is experienced across retail, wholesale, outlet, and partner channels worldwide. You bring a strong aesthetic point of view, deep understanding of luxury retail, and the ability to influence and align teams across a complex global organization. You are equally comfortable developing big ideas, refining creative details, and leading teams through execution, all while maintaining a relentless focus on brand consistency, innovation, and customer engagement.

A Day in the Life:

In this role, you will lead the development of the global visual merchandising strategy, translating brand narratives, product stories, and seasonal campaigns into inspiring retail experiences that strengthen brand equity and drive customer connection. You will establish the creative vision for windows, in-store presentations, mannequin styling, experiential activations, and branded environments, ensuring a consistent and compelling expression of the Tory Burch brand worldwide.

Partnering closely with Brand Marketing, Creative, Design, Retail Design, Store Planning, Merchandising, and regional Visual Merchandising teams, you will create the global standards, toolkits, and creative frameworks that guide execution across markets. While regional teams are responsible for localization and implementation, you will set the overarching vision, creative direction, and quality benchmarks that ensure a cohesive global brand experience.

You will serve as a key member of the Brand leadership team, bringing insights from consumer behavior, cultural shifts, retail innovation, and competitive trends to inform long-term strategy and future concepts. You anticipate where the landscape is heading, not just where it stands today using that foresight to keep evolving the brand in bold, disruptive ways that cut through the clutter with real intention. From flagship window installations and immersive pop-ups to scalable seasonal programs, you will champion creative innovation that differentiates the brand while balancing operational feasibility and business objectives.

You will also oversee the creative development process from concept through prototype, partnering closely with Store Design, Production, and Sourcing teams to ensure the highest standards of design, craftsmanship, and execution. Through strong leadership, collaboration, and creative vision, you will inspire teams, cultivate talent, and continuously evolve how the Tory Burch brand comes to life around the world.
