• Take ownership of the end-to-end development of our retail samples and be part of our display production, aligning the defined user experience with stakeholder expectations.

• Act as the main interface between the product department and display suppliers in the case of the technical aspects, to ensure seamless coordination and high-quality output.
• Ensure consistency across all retail sample products in terms of look and feel, sound levels, security features, functionality, and cables.

• Provide support in various retail environment projects, including Shop-in-Shop (SIS), trade shows, and other initiatives in the case of technical solutions and conceptual aspects to provide the best-in-class customer experience and product testing in-store.

• Address any technical discrepancies to maintain a high level of quality assurance by reviewing existing and future productions.

• Stay informed and be on top of new technologies, solutions, and trends within the retail experience domain.

Other tasks may include:

• 1-3 years of proven track record within product or retail sample development
• Strong technical knowledge to facilitate discussions with internal and external parties
• Excellent organisational and documentation skills
