RH at its core is about taste, and we believe the idea of scaling taste is large and far reaching.

The RH brand attracts the best designers, artisans, manufacturers and talent in our industry, scaling and rendering their work more valuable across our integrated platform, enabling us to curate the most compelling collection of luxury home furnishings in the world. We are moving the brand beyond curating and selling products to conceptualizing and selling spaces by building an ecosystem of products, places, services and spaces that elevates and establishes the RH brand as a global thought leader, taste and place maker.

At RH we believe deeply that the \"right\" people are our greatest asset. We value people with high energy, who possess the ability to energize others. People who are smart, creative and have a point of view. People who see the answer in every problem, versus those who see the problem in every answer. People who are driven, determined and won't take \"no\" for an answer. We value team players, people who are more concerned with what's right, rather than who's right.

The VP of Lighting will lead our vision as we climb the luxury mountain and set the precedent for good taste in design and of-the-moment lighting concepts. This person will source inspirational pieces from a variety of sources, reimagining these silhouettes into a unique design that is undeniably RH. The VP of Lighting must be able to act as the creative lead for this small team, not only pushing Designers to evolve the look / feel of RH's lighting offerings but also inspiring cross-functional partners as our vision evolves over time. Beyond design, the VP of Lighting must possess hands-on knowledge of the mechanics of each lighting fixture, as we bring our peerless designs to market and into our client's homes.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Live Our Vision, Values and Beliefs every day
• Serve as an Art Director for the Lighting team - concepting and designing entire lighting collections
• Create and / or foster existing relationships with diverse lighting sources and relevant factories globally
• Manage a small team, bringing an expertise in fostering product ideation, an ability to develop more junior Designers / Product Developers, and a desire to create an environment of support and authenticity

OUR REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of experience acting in a leadership role with one of the top lighting organizations or bringing experience out of a top-tier interior design firm with a focus specifically in lighting design
• Must understand and have extensive experience leading the entire design lifecycle, from sourcing to conception to production to sales in our Galleries
• International travel within US and abroad (European expansion to be our next endeavor)
• An impeccable eye as seen in tangible examples of past work and an innate sense of how to translate new concepts into our brand aesthetic, pushing the envelope each day
• Must be organized, detail-oriented, skillfully self-directed, and able to maneuver successfully within an ambiguous and ever-changing environment

ABOUT US
RH is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate against any applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, military/veteran status, or any other status protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.

When you join New York Life, you're joining a company that values career development, collaboration, innovation, and inclusiveness. We want employees to feel proud about being part of a company that is committed to doing the right thing. You'll have the opportunity to grow your career while developing personally and professionally through various resources and programs. New York Life is a relationship-based company and appreciates how both virtual and in-person interactions support our culture.

At New York Life, we offer our clients sound finance advice through a protection-first lens. We use an outcome-orientation that's delivered with genuine care and designed to offer real peace of mind.

GuideMe is the digital planning tool that helps our agents bring this approach to life. It's designed to help our agents build rapport and understand a client's situation, better match a solution to a need, and simplify communication of the value of that solution. The end result of GuideMe is a shift from product sales to relationship building in a way that meets the evolving expectations of modern consumers.

The early field results and feedback on GuideMe have been very positive. GuideMe reduces case design work and training needs, keeps appointments on track, and helps build agent confidence by providing guardrails for a conversational appointment flow. The early evidence shows that agents who use GuideMe are more effective as a result.

We have ambitious plans for GuideMe in 2022 and beyond. Our roadmap includes experiences that cater to a wider range of increasingly sophisticated agent practices and client types, as well as cover an expanded number of New York Life products.

As GuideMe grows in scale and complexity, we're looking to add a Senior User Interface Product Developer to the team who can work with key partners across our product management and user experience organization to conceive and create exceptional experiences for our agents and their clients.
