Creative output is expected to be innovative, disciplined, commercially viable, execution-ready, and aligned with luxury positioning.
Creative Vision and Governance
- Define and continuously refine EVA Interiors' creative philosophy and design language.
- Formalize spatial principles, material hierarchy, detailing standards, colour strategies, and FF&E integration within approved governance frameworks.
- Ensure creative outputs comply with documented standards and address deviations through structured corrective governance.
- Maintain executive oversight of design-related SOPs and refine standards using documented review outcomes and performance analysis.
Quality and Review Accountability
- Maintain a minimum 80% first-submission approval rate across formal design reviews unless deviations have documented root cause analysis and corrective action plans.
- Keep review cycles within agreed revision thresholds and address recurring rework through structured evaluation and systemic improvement.
- Lead at least one weekly Creative Review and one monthly Quality Retrospective with documented minutes, accountability, and follow-up actions.
- Issue approvals, rejections, and required design modifications within agreed timelines, generally within 24 hours of review.
Commercial Alignment and Risk
- Align creative decisions with project timelines, revenue realization schedules, forecast commitments, and project profitability.
- Coordinate with Planning and Operations so creative timelines and review cycles are reflected in forecasts, milestones, and execution sequencing.
- Escalate material creative, quality, review, or governance risks to Executive Management within 24 hours with impact assessment, root cause analysis, and mitigation proposals.
Leadership and Enforcement
- Enforce approved design standards, governance frameworks, and review discipline across design personnel.
- Initiate corrective action with Executive Management and Human Resources when repeated non-compliance or execution inconsistency occurs.
- Maintain consistent on-site leadership presence during critical review cycles, high-visibility project phases, and production-intensive periods.
- Ensure approved remote work arrangements do not compromise review cadence, team accessibility, enforcement discipline, or executive responsiveness.
Innovation and FF&E Governance
- Lead structured innovation initiatives that improve differentiation, quality standards, execution efficiency, brand positioning, or project value.
- Own and curate EVA's FF&E Library so it remains quality-controlled, commercially viable, execution-ready, and aligned with luxury positioning.
- Use the FF&E Library as an active production, quality-control, and creative governance asset across projects.
Application
