Sunrise Group is the long-term distributor of Yonex and other leading sports brands across Southeast Asia. We’re looking for an Art Director to lead visual execution across our brands and markets throughout Asia such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and others.

You’ll shape how our brands show up across product photography, e-commerce, catalogues, retail, packaging, and social. You’ll work directly with senior leadership and you’ll lead a small in-house design team plus a network of external creative partners across the region.

The role is based in Kuala Lumpur and offers regional travel, a meaningful budget, and the autonomy to build a creative function from the ground up.

Responsibilities

•       Lead visual identity and brand guideline development across our brand portfolio
•       Art-direct all product, lifestyle, and campaign photography — including casting input, location scouting, on-set direction, and post-production oversight
•       Develop key visuals and creative concepts for hero product launches, seasonal campaigns, and major retail moments
•       Own the visual execution of catalogues, lookbooks, and all printed collateral
•       Direct e-commerce creative across our websites and marketplaces (Shopee, Lazada, Tokopedia, TikTok Shop) — banners, product imagery, landing pages, livestream visuals
•       Develop in-store, POSM, and retail visual systems for both flagship spaces and partner stores
•       Oversee packaging design and product launch assets in partnership with brand and product teams
•       Direct video and motion content for social, e-commerce, and retail screens
•       Manage and develop the in-house design team (initially 1–2 designers) and a network of freelancers and external agencies
•       Partner with country marketing teams across Asia to localise creative without breaking brand consistency
•       Build and maintain a structured brand asset library accessible across markets
