Renowned for revolutionizing digital content creation, Beast Industries encompasses a diverse portfolio of ventures that extend far beyond its origins on YouTube. With a mission to entertain, inspire, and create significant social impact, Beast Industries operates across various domains including digital media, philanthropy, consumer products, and innovative business initiatives. At Beast Industries, we believe in the transformative power of digital media and its potential to entertain, educate, and effect positive change. Our commitment to innovation, creativity, and philanthropy drives us to explore new frontiers, create unforgettable experiences, and build a legacy that inspires future generations.

The Opportunity

Beast Industries is looking for a Director of Apparel Design, who is equally creative and a strategizer. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to delegate the creative work and only manage a team, it is a role where you will be driving and creating it.

You’ll own the full design vision for our apparel line, with a focus on kids’ lifestyle products and an eye toward adult categories. Working closely with the Head of Product, you’ll set the seasonal direction, collaborate with the whole product team, and produce original garments built to last.

Responsibilities

Design & Development

• Lead original silhouette design across kids’ and adult lifestyle and athletic categories, from initial sketch through production-ready tech pack
• Produce detailed technical sketches that communicate construction intent; panel layouts, topstitching, stitch lines, seam placements, so developers can execute without guesswork
• Own the construction pages within tech packs, bringing a level of technical rigor that reduces back-and-forth with factories
• Work directly with the Graphic Designer on placement, scale, and colorway for graphic applications, ensuring the apparel and graphics read as a cohesive product

Strategy & Creative Direction

• Build and manage the seasonal design calendar, planning the full year of apparel development with clear milestones
• Lead trend and design research to inform product direction and keep the brand ahead of the market
• Monitor the apparel landscape in streetwear, sportswear, & youth fashion industries, to translate emerging trends into product decisions. You’ll recommend which specific styles, silhouettes, fabrics, and details we should be executing each season
• Present seasonal concepts and design strategy to senior leadership with clear creative rationale and commercial context
• Establish scalable design processes as the team grows

Leadership & Collaboration

• Manage and develop the design team, providing clear creative direction and building toward a stronger team over time
• Partner with product development, sourcing, and marketing teams to ensure designs are technically viable and delivered on schedule
• Communicate proactively with the Head of Product, flagging risks early, aligning on priorities, and operating with a high degree of autonomy

Qualifications

• 7+ years of apparel design experience with a strong portfolio in lifestyle and athletic categories; kids’ wear experience is required
• Deep fluency in garment construction — you understand how a garment is built and can document it precisely for a factory
• Demonstrated ability to build or contribute to tech packs, particularly construction and technical specification pages
• Experience art directing designers and integrating graphic applications into apparel design
• Strong seasonal planning instincts — you know how to sequence a calendar and manage multiple categories simultaneously
• A self-starter who operates well without heavy oversight and communicates clearly up and down the org
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop, and has worked in a PLM system

Bonus Points

• Experience at a DTC, digitally native, or creator-led brand
• Background designing for both kids' and adult markets
• Experience hiring or scaling a small design team or working with contractors
• Knows and understands the MrBeast consumer
