Spatial Design Lead

New York
 

OVERVIEW:
Gymshark is one of the most engaged fitness communities in the world, built in the gym and grown through genuine connection with the people who train in it. The Spatial Design team is where Gymshark takes physical form: the stores and spaces where the community shows up in the real world.

As Spatial Design Lead, you'll be the craft authority and systems thinker for spatial design at Gymshark, defining the design language that scales across a growing portfolio of physical environments and ensuring the quality of every space reflects what the brand stands for. Your remit is the creative standard, the system that carries it, and the designers who deliver it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

  • Build and evolve Gymshark's spatial design language, including materials palettes, fixture families, spatial principles and experiential standards, into a scalable system that applies consistently across stores, formats and geographies
  • Own and raise the craft standard across Gymshark's physical environments, ensuring work is consistently excellent from first concept through to build
  • Lead on complex spatial projects from early store planning and concept through to build-ready documentation, producing layouts, material specifications and outputs that architects, shopfitters and contractors can work directly from
  • Protect creative intent through the delivery process, translating design standards into requirements that hold up under commercial and operational pressure
  • Work with brand designers to ensure spatial environments express the brand consistently across every real-world touchpoint
  • Line manage and develop spatial designers, investing in their growth through regular feedback, critique and the craft standard you set in your own work
  • Stay close to where spatial design, physical retail and brand experience are heading, bringing that perspective into how the team works and what Gymshark builds
  • Ensure Gymshark's physical spaces feel rooted in the community and culture they're built for, not just well-executed retail environments

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • A background in interior design, architecture, spatial design or a related discipline
  • Significant spatial design experience with a portfolio showing genuine craft, strong conceptual thinking and the ability to design spatial languages that scale across multiple environments and formats, not just solve for one space at a time
  • Deep expertise in store planning, layout, zoning and circulation, with the ability to design spaces that work both experientially and commercially
  • Advanced knowledge of materials, finishes and fixture families, with the ability to curate palettes that express the brand, perform well in retail environments and are chosen with an understanding of how they age and are sourced
  • Advanced technical proficiency in CAD and 3D visualisation, producing detailed specifications and build-ready documentation that contractors and shopfitters can work directly from
  • Experience across complex multi-stakeholder projects spanning architects, shopfitters, contractors, brand and operations teams, bringing alignment without losing design intent
  • Genuine curiosity about how people experience physical space, the craft of spatial design and the world Gymshark is building around it

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
