Position Summary:

The Royal Caribbean Creative Development & Advanced Concept Design Studio (or "Creative Studio") has a balanced mission of enhancing active near-term product efforts, and envisioning future capabilities and offerings of the company. We apply creative effort and insight to enhance and amplify existing products, and develop new product, experience, and service concepts and prototypes that improve guest and crew experience across all human interface touch points. We leverage both established and emerging technologies, partner with technology vendors and service providers, and invent new technology and concepts, blending physical and digital to produce shareable design assets and tangible test experiences. We prove out concepts for desirability, feasibility, and viability, and move projects that satisfy these requirements to homes within relevant RCG businesses. The Creative Studio is seeking a Graphic and Production Design Manager to facilitate the delivery of this work.

Reporting to the Director, Creative Development + Advanced Concept Design, the Graphic and Production Design Manager will function as a Graphic Design subject matter expert for the Creative Studio, leading Graphic Design-centric projects, providing Production Design support, and contributing broadly to the other Creative Studio cross-category projects which exceed the 2-dimensional. They will participate in the front-end creative process, assisting with initial research, project creative vision, experience design exploration, but heavy emphasis will be placed on prototype fabrication and construction. The Graphic and Production Design Manager will be a crucial part of the Creative Studio's design and creative efforts, leading in Graphic Design excellence, collaborating in conceptualizing and designing big ideas, and assisting in bringing those ideas to life across category, scale, and tangibility.

We are seeking a hybrid designer: one who brings a depth of expertise in Graphic Design, but who also brings a viewpoint and insights beyond the 2-dimenstional, who can also work across product categories, a range of scale (small artifacts to large walkthrough spaces), and flex across visual and physical in service of the ultimate guest and crew experience. We need someone who can work on an entertainment concept one day, a food and beverage project the next, and logistics process improvement the day after that, whether a visual asset, a physical object, a digital product, or a blend of all; a designer who grasps the concrete process of designing visual, physical, and digital artifacts, and also understands the abstract process of crafting narratives and creating experiences. Creative Studio projects can encompass anything in the course of guests living-and crew working-on a cruise ship or at a private destination, from the visible amenities to the hidden necessities.
