Job description

FIGS is seeking a Senior Designer to lead design across Lounge, Outerwear and FIGS Pro, our polished, professional ready‑to‑wear collection for healthcare providers. This role blends elevated, style‑forward design with functional performance — delivering tailored wovens, refined knits, lab coats, and technical outerwear that embody FIGS PRO’s ethos: style supported by utility, comfort, and thoughtful function. You will translate brand DNA into sophisticated, capsule‑worthy pieces that complement the broader FIGS ecosystem while meeting the real needs of HCPs in professional settings.

Reporting to the VP of Concept & Design, you will contribute to seasonal creative direction, execute premium product, and shape the future of FIGS Pro and Outerwear as signature pillars of the brand.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design for Lounge (sweatshirting), Outerwear (technical rainwear, insulation, fleece) and FIGS PRO (tailored wovens, sweater knits, lab coats, polished ready‑to‑wear pieces), delivering refined, modern, style‑forward collections grounded in HCP needs.
• Bring the FIGS Pro ethos to life, designing fashion‑led, timeless yet trend‑aware capsule pieces that integrate effortlessly with the broader FIGS wardrobe.
• Partner with the VP of Concept & Design to shape seasonal concepts, narratives, and professional‑wear strategy.
• Research trends, materials, tailoring innovations, and relevant RTW markets to identify whitespace and elevate FIGS Pro’s aesthetic and functional direction.
• Ideate and execute elevated on‑garment branding, including trims, hardware, labels, and subtle identifiers that reinforce sophistication.
• Create premium design packages - technical sketches, construction details, and spec documentation - with clarity and precision.
• Collaborate with Merchandising, Raw Materials, Product Development, and to drive concept‑to‑creation consistency and storytelling impact.
• Lead fittings for these categories and provide thoughtful, solution‑oriented feedback to ensure exceptional fit, comfort, and quality.
• Contribute to color, material, and trim direction in partnership with Raw Materials to meet quality, cost, and calendar goals.
• Manage design calendars, milestones, and handoffs to keep multiple projects on track and aligned.
• Mentor and inspire junior designers, fostering creativity, curiosity, and collaboration across the team.
• Partner with cross‑category design teams to ensure a cohesive, elevated brand experience across all apparel lines.

Requirements

• 8-10+ years of experience in apparel design, including at least 2 years leading or mentoring junior designers.
• Proven expertise in outerwear, tailored wovens, sweater knits, and premium lifestyle or RTW categories.
• Ability to design style‑forward, polished, modern pieces that meet professional standards while supporting comfort and functional movement.
• Strong command of silhouette, proportion, construction, and fit with hands‑on understanding of pattern making and technical detailing.
• Exceptional talent for concept development, color, and material innovation with a sharp, modern aesthetic.
• Demonstrated ability to drive full‑cycle design — from initial sketch and prototyping through final production.
• Confident visual communicator with excellent sketching, illustration, and presentation skills.
• Strong understanding of consumer and market trends across RTW, workwear, and professional lifestyle spaces.
• Passion for customer‑centric design and a deep respect for the healthcare professional community.
• Highly organized, solutions‑oriented, and comfortable thriving in a fast‑paced, growth‑driven environment.
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite; experience with 3D and AI‑assisted platforms a plus.
• Familiarity with PLM systems and cross‑functional design workflows.

Other Must‑Haves

• Strong leadership presence paired with a collaborative, team‑first, and optimistic mindset.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, egoless nature, and 100% awesome attitude.
• High level of integrity, initiative, and follow‑through.
• Strong presentation and communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Passion for design that makes a difference and elevates the lives of healthcare professionals.
