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 Design Lifecycle: Engage in the full end-to-end design process: research, ideation, 3D modeling/sketching, fitting, and finalization.
* Global Perspective: Act as a conduit between the Design Studio and our global manufacturing partners, sharing feedback loops and finding solutions to complex technical challenges.
* Market Intelligence: Stay at the forefront of the industry by identifying newness in sports, fashion, and technology, translating these findings into actionable concepts for our collections.
Your story
* Background: You hold a Master’s degree in Fashion Design, Industrial Design, Footwear Design, or a closely related creative field.
* 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.
* Communication: You have the ability to articulate your creative vision to designers and non-designers alike, using mood boards, sketches, and prototypes to tell a story.
* Language: You are fluent in English (written and spoken).
* Curiosity: You are naturally inquisitive about culture, arts, architecture, and technology, and you are constantly looking for ways to apply these influences.
