Senior Designer (Strategic & Creative)

Are you ready to shape the design future of Norrøna?

Our vision is simple: Welcome to nature. Founded in 1929 and family-run for four generations, we craft excellence in both outdoor gear and in guided adventures around the world.

Guided by our own philosophy of "Loaded Minimalism" – where clean, functional design meets critical, high-performance detail – we are looking for a Senior Designer to play a central role in evolving our visual identity and contributing in essential brand design projects.

This is not a traditional support role. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of our brand's visual direction in close collaboration with our designers, creative marketing team and company leadership. You will work in an environment where your voice is heard, and where design is the foundation of everything we do.

The role: Impact and responsibility

We are looking for a collaborative thinker who balances high-level strategy with hands-on execution. You will help oversee our visual presence across all platforms, ensuring that different touchpoints – from digital concept development to retail installations – reflects the Norrøna soul. And you will produce everything from complex web concepts to an outdoor magazine ad – and all the exciting design tasks in between.

Key areas of responsibility:

• Project designer: At Norrøna, we have a continuous pipeline of innovation projects in motion, many of which require multi-layered design development. As our dedicated Senior Designer, you will take ownership of these projects and initiatives, and lead them from concept to final completion.
• Strategic brand development: Help shape and execute our overall design strategy, ensuring a cohesive and premium visual presence.
• Concept and innovation: Initiate and drive projects that advance our brand, including exploring how we use AI and new technologies to improve our design processes and workflows.
• Collaborative leadership: Act as a design anchor within our company, collaborating closely with our marketing team, our digital resources, other departments, external resources, and directly with our company leadership.
• Design execution: Develop high-impact campaign assets, lookbooks, digital experiences, and retail design projects together with other creative designers in Norrøna.

Who you are:

You are an experienced, enthusiastic and thoughtful designer who enjoys seeing your work come to life in a tangible way. You are a problem-solver who understands that the best results are achieved through collaboration, not just individual effort.

• Design maturity: You have extensive experience from Senior Designer roles, with a portfolio demonstrating conceptual depth and technical skill.
• Structured and adaptable: You are organized and comfortable managing complex projects with changing priorities, without losing sight of the details.
• A natural collaborator: You thrive in a service-minded team where we believe we are stronger together.
• Strategic and practical: You are comfortable presenting your ideas to leadership, but you are never afraid to roll up your sleeves to get the work done.
• Languages: You are fluent in Norwegian and English (oral and written).

Why Norrøna?

• Authenticity: Join a company with almost 100 years of history, where family values and a genuine passion for nature dictate our direction.
• Direct impact: You will work in an open environment with access to leadership, where your design input truly matters.
• Our culture: We are a diverse team of 110+ people from 17 different countries, united by a love for quality and the outdoors.
• Work-life balance: We design for the outdoors because we love the outdoors. We value our employees' ability to recharge, and we encourage a balanced work environment.

Bonus points: Do you hike, ski, climb, ride a mountain bike or enjoy the outdoors in other ways? We are a company of outdoor enthusiasts, and we love it when our team shares our passion for the activities we build for.
