Role Snapshot:

Experience:
4–6 years
· portfolio-led (craft matters more than years) You own the new-product-design pipeline for Srimandir's spiritual jewellery & accessories — rashi bracelets, pendants, malas, rudraksha, gemstone and deity-led pieces. Your job is to turn devotional meaning into a desirable product: take rashi, gemstone remedies, rudraksha and deities and design pieces people genuinely want to wear — authentic enough to be believed, styled for today, and shaped by what the consumer actually responds to. You bridge three worlds that rarely sit at one table: What you’ll Champion:
• Product design & the NPD pipeline. Concept to spec — form, materials, stones, metals, finish and sizing; run a steady pipeline of launches (tech packs, prototypes, sampling and vendor coordination).
• Spirituality × jewellery — get the meaning right. Encode genuine devotional meaning into every piece (rashi, gemstone remedy, rudraksha mukhi, deity, yantra); work with the astrology / content side so authenticity holds up to scrutiny.
• Fashion & wearability — the design lens. Bring trend awareness and a contemporary aesthetic; design for daily wear, styling and gifting — pieces people choose to wear, not just to own.
• Consumer-led design. Design from insight, not assumption — who the wearer is, the occasion, the price they'll pay; translate cultural belief + consumer behaviour into product decisions, then read post-launch data and iterate.




• Collections & design language. Build cohesive, occasion
- and calendar-timed collections with a recognisable Srimandir design language — and shape the visual story that sells them (photography direction, naming, packaging feel).
• A steady pipeline of launches that sell — new pieces contributing meaningful revenue.
• Products that are both believed and worn — visible in conversion, repeat, reviews and low returns.
• A recognisable Srimandir design language across the jewellery range.
• Design calls are grounded in consumer insight and post-launch data, not taste alone. What is needed for this role
• 4–6 years in jewellery / accessory / product design — a strong portfolio matters more than years.
• Real craft: materials, stones, metals and manufacturing; comfort with CAD / jewellery design tools (Rhino / Matrix / Illustrator), tech packs and prototyping.
• A genuine feel for spirituality / devotional / astrology culture — or the hunger to learn it deeply (rashi, gemstones, rudraksha, vedic meaning).
• Fashion and trend sensibility with a strong wearability instinct.
• Consumer empathy — designs from insight, reads data, and iterates fast.
• D2C / e-commerce Jewellery product experience and rapid NPD cycles.
• Product-photography / visual-merchandising direction; comfort with AI-assisted concepting (e.g. Midjourney).
