• Print & Color Direction: Drive seasonal print selection, pitch sheet creation, and custom print development, balancing commercial appeal with fresh color storytelling.
• Technical Precision & Fittings: Partner closely with Technical Design and Overseas Sourcing during fittings to ensure consistent fit across Missy, Petite, and Plus lines while maintaining yield optimization.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 10+ years of dress design experience (Senior Designer level)
• Competitor Knowledge: Deep familiarity with the Better and Moderate dress landscape.
• Elevated Eye & Technical Mastery: An elevated taste level for print, color, and proportion paired with expert-level knowledge of garment construction, spec development, and technical packs.
• Software & Systems: Expert proficiency in Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop for apparel design. Proficiency or strong familiarity with Airtable.
• Tech-Forward Mindset: Enthusiasm for adopting AI tools and process improvements to drive efficiency.
