Being well versed in the outdoor world and familiar with cycling brands, and trends, clothing design trends, and having an eye on what’s next in the cycling world will definitely give you an edge. In this role, you will collaborate closely with our creative director on various projects, offering a valuable opportunity to develop your design skills and capabilities further. You’ll gain hands-on experience working with client-specific teams of marketers, developers, and copywriters, building the foundation for advancement to higher-level positions. If you are a strong communicator, organized, and work methodically as part of a remote team, we’d love to meet you.
