In short

Are you a visionary designer ready to bridge the gap between imagination and high-performance product? Our Product Academy program is an immersive, 2-year rotational program designed to cultivate the next generation of creative talent at On.

The journey is designed to develop you into a true functional expert with the potential to grow in our dynamic organization. You will embark on a specialized learning journey, with rotations designed to build depth in product Design.

You will journey from the conceptual sketch to the final product on the shelf. You will rotate through the core pillars of our design organization, gaining a holistic, 360-degree view of what it takes to build world-class, disruptive sportswear.

Your two-year path is structured to build your expertise across our ecosystem:

• Rotation 1: Apparel & Accessories Design (6 Months) Master the foundations of On’s design language. You will collaborate with our Apparel team to translate consumer insights into functional, aesthetic, and performance-driven collections.
• Rotation 2: Footwear Design (6 Months) Pivot to the core of our business. You will dive into the technical complexities of footwear design, learning how to balance biomechanics, innovation, and our signature aesthetic.
• Rotation 3: Production & Development Insights (5 Months) Theory meets reality. You will travel to Vietnam to work directly with our development teams. You will witness firsthand how your designs are industrialized, solved for manufacturing, and brought to life in the factory.
• Rotation 4: Tailored Specialization (7 Months) The final rotation is shaped through a balance of your performance and interests, alongside the needs of the business. Based on this, you will deep-dive into a specialised area such as Innovation Design, Color & Material, Visual Exploration, or Sustainability.

Start date: September 1st, 2026.

Your mission

• Collaborative Creation: Work closely with cross-functional partners in Product Development, Material Science, and Product Management to ensure design integrity from inception to mass production.

• The Portfolio: You have a compelling portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of form, color, silhouette, and a deep understanding of technical garment or product construction.
• Cross-Disciplinary Mindset: You don’t see barriers between categories; you see opportunities for innovation. Whether your primary passion is footwear or apparel, you are genuinely excited to master both. You are a "product creator first," meaning you are eager to challenge your comfort zone, apply textile knowledge to performance footwear, or use biomechanical insights to inform apparel. You are fully committed to diving deep into every rotation, regardless of the category, to become a truly versatile designer.
• Technical Toolkit: You are proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). Proficiency in 3D design software (e.g., CLO3D, Rhino, Gravity Sketch) is highly valued.
• The "On" Mindset: You possess an entrepreneurial spirit. You are as comfortable with a messy, conceptual brainstorm as you are with the precision required for technical specs and critical timelines.
