Job description

Johnnie-O was founded in 2005 with a unique proposition—pairing traditional East Coast polish with a laid-back West Coast attitude (and some Midwestern grit mixed in). Our design philosophy is simple: respect the classics, use premium construction and never take ourselves too seriously.

Beginning with the Original 4-Button Polo sold out of the back of our founder's car, we've grown into a full offering of men's, women's, boys', golf, lifestyle, and licensed apparel—including NFL, NHL, MLB and NCAA collections. Always with an eye toward improving, we've developed an array of thoughtful details called "Topspin" that make our clothing unique and a little more special.

At our core, we value authenticity, community and integrity, and there's no better representation of those ideals than the team we've put together to help make Johnnie-O the next iconic American brand.
