  • Support the design calendar and ensure deliverables (protos, samples, market submissions) meet scheduled deadlines.
  • Assist in presenting collection line-ups internally and externally, demonstration design intent, business rationale and brand positioning.

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design
  • 3-5 years of professional apparel design experience (ideally in women's or contemporary sportswear).
  • Strong technical understanding of garment construction, fit fundamentals, fabrics and treatment processes.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop; solid skills in Microsoft Excel.
  • Experience creating clear and detailed tech packs.
  • Excellent organizational, multitasking and time-management skills, with ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; ability to articulate design intent and technical detail to cross-functional partners.
  • Knowledge of Simparel or PLM systems a plus.

Why Join Us

  • Work with a highly-collaborative and experienced design team in a dynamic, global company
  • Gain exposure to large-scale production, global sourcing operations and significant brand partnerships.
  • Join a creative, fast-paced environment that emphasizes innovation, growth and delivering commercially successful product.
