Fashion Textile Design Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Senior Director of Product Design to lead the design and development of all product that carries the Lola Blankets name. Partnering closely with the founders and cross-functional leadership, this person will be responsible for the design and product development function end-to-end - from raw material sourcing and color & print direction of mainline and collaboration capsules, to net-new product categories and styles. This role will be crucial in driving development timelines to bring it all to market. The role is equal parts visionary and operator: a taste-maker with a point of view, and a builder who can run a calendar.

• Lead the multi-year creative vision for Lola Blankets across core assortment, seasonal collections, and limited-edition collaboration capsules, in lockstep with the brand's strategic growth initiatives and long-range roadmap.
• Manage the Design and PD team to drive end-to-end design and product development: concept, material innovation, color & print, prototyping, sampling, tech packs, and hand-off to production.
• Own sourcing strategy for new raw materials - identifying and evaluating the supply chain that meet Lola's standards for hand, quality, and design.
• Manage the seasonal product calendar, setting clear milestones and accountability across design, development, merchandise planning, and marketing.
• Direct color, print, and pattern development, ensuring each release feels distinctly Lola - editorial, fashion-forward, and built to be covetable.
• Partner with the founders and brand leadership on ideation and execution of collaborations with designers, artists, and cultural brands.
• Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-performing design and product development team, shaping structure, process, and creative culture.
• Partner with marketing, ecommerce, wholesale, and retail to translate the product vision into commercially resonant assortments across DTC and multi-channel surfaces.
• Champion quality, fit, and finish standards across categories - from blankets and throws to pillows, to apparel and adjacent accessories, and beyond.
• Keep a finger on the cultural pulse: fashion, interiors, art, and beauty. Translate trends into a Lola lens rather than chasing them.
• Based full-time in New York City, working in-person from the Lola Blankets office.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed - mills, factories, trade shows, and partner meetings.

• Minimum 10 years of progressive leadership experience managing design, color & print, and product development teams.
• Proven track record at multi-channel, multi-category brands, with a strong emphasis on DTC.
• Deep expertise in textiles, materials, and soft goods development; faux fur and home or fashion textile experience is a significant plus.
• Demonstrated success building seasonal calendars and managing development timelines across multiple concurrent initiatives, including collaboration capsules.
• Established sourcing network and a point of view on what differentiates best-in-class mills and material partners.
• A distinctive eye - someone whose portfolio feels premium, editorial, and contemporary, with an instinct for the line between fashion-forward and commercial.
• Fluent in the language of merchandising and operations; able to balance creative ambition with commercial discipline.
• Exceptional leader and communicator who can attract top talent, develop direct reports, and influence across the org.

Degree in design, textiles, fashion, or related field preferred.

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, PTO)
• 401K with company match
• Flexible remote work environment
• Paid time off and holidays
• An opportunity to make a direct impact on a high-growth, design-forward brand
• A collaborative, passionate, and purpose-driven team

This is a rare opportunity to shape the product identity of a brand at an inflection point - a creative leadership seat with real ownership, real resources, and the space to build something category-defining. If you believe softness can be a statement and that the most interesting brand in home textiles hasn't been built yet, we'd love to meet you.
