Head of Design

Good MavenSoftware, interior design, fashion
Ideally, we’d love to have this person in Tokyo to work on-site in our state of the art studio. However, there may be some flexibility on location. For Migaku, one third of the current team is located in Tokyo so ideally we’d have the Head of Design there as well. However, there’s flexibility on location: remote APAC or EMEA can work, with a preference for regular overlap with Asia-based working hours. For Psy Living, there is a strong preference for working on site at our Tokyo/Ebisu design studio, given the hands-on nature of the team and our physical product lineup, regular overlap with Asia-based working hoursFull-TimeLead
