Are you a creative and hands-on senior designer ready to continue your career in ECCO HQ in Denmark? Would you thrive shaping the future of women’s footwear design in a global brand rooted in craftsmanship and innovation?

Sharing ideas and challenging each other are key parts of the development process, where  ECCO’s Women Design team creates the next generation of footwear. We are innovative craftsmen blending Scandinavian aesthetics with premium comfort and sustainability.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across design, development and commercial
• Present your concepts and collections to internal stakeholders and leadership.

Based at our global headquarters in Tønder, you’ll become part of a close-knit women design team of 3 passionate designers and 5 colour and material designers who thrive in  creativity, collaboration and curiosity. We work in an open, informal atmosphere where ideas are shared freely, and where we challenge each other to push the boundaries of design while staying true to ECCO’s heritage.
