Full-time
Description
EVEREVE inspires women to move forward in their fashion so that they feel fully alive. By offering modern, curated trends from 150+ brands, including our own best-selling line-along with warm, genuine advice-we deliver a styling experience made personal. Our 110+ stores, booming e-commerce business, and fast-growing subscription box service, Trendsend, reach over two million customers every year.
Living our core brand values and treating everyone with HEART (humility, empathy, authenticity, relationships, tenacity) creates a shared purpose and collaborative community-and it's also a key part of our success. Join our team to help shape the future of an ever-growing, ever-evolving brand!
EVEREVE is seeking a highly creative Senior Designer - Knit Tops with an extensive background in women's ready-to-wear clothing and cut-and-sew knits, with a high taste level and market instincts to set direction for the category. Equally central to this role is designing top-tier knit tops with a complete outfit mindset, knowing our customer looks to EVEREVE for fully styled, head-to-toe looks.
As a senior member of a lean, entrepreneurial design team, this role brings artistic vision, a sharp trend and color point of view, and customer-focused design solutions to life - setting creative direction for the category while staying hands-on through execution, equally focused on defining a seasonal color story as on approving a lab dip. Success in this role also requires strong organizational skills - managing multiple seasons at once while maintaining meticulous attention to detail, deadlines, and follow-through. The role works in close partnership with our Senior Director of Design, Technical Designers, Sourcing/Production, and Buying.
Location: Edina, MN (No remote option)
Reports to: Senior Director of Design, Development & Sourcing
Key Roles and Responsibilities
Creative Vision & Point of View:
• Research, shop and interpret domestic and global market, runway, and cultural trends to identify emerging silhouettes, techniques, and whitespace ahead of competitors.
• Define a strong, distinct point of view for the knit tops category - one that differentiates EVEREVE and gives buyers and merchants a clear creative direction to build around.
• Establish seasonal color direction with conviction, balancing trend relevance, item-level viability, and full-assortment cohesion.
• Design through the lens of a complete outfit - proportion, layering, and head-to-toe versatility - so knit tops pair seamlessly with bottoms and the third-piece assortment.
• Bring the customer's full lifestyle and wardrobe needs into every design decision, using customer and styling feedback along with sell-through data to sharpen point of view season over season.
• Drive fabric, wash, and trim innovation in partnership with Sourcing and vendors, pushing for newness that's still commercially grounded.
• Co-create seasonal trend stories with the Senior Director of Design (4X/year) - themes, color, print/pattern, key items, and fabrication - and translate that direction into a clear, brand-right design POV.
Hands-On Execution & Collaboration:
• Work directly on design deliverables - Illustrator CADs, concept and fabric boards, flat sketches, presentation materials - with the same level of craft and attention expected across the team.
• Partner weekly with Buyers on strategy, sales performance, and assortment planning.
• Communicate directly with vendors on fabric, style, and pattern direction, and manage component, fabric, wash, and print approvals with clear, decisive feedback.
• Partner with Technical Design on fit intent and tech packs, joining bi-weekly fit sessions to protect the integrity of the design vision through to production.
• Collaborate with Textile Designer to identify print & pattern needs, clearly communicate scale, recolor and substitution feedback
• Maintain active, daily communication across Design, Buying, Technical Design, Sourcing/Production, and global vendors to keep product moving from concept to floor.
Organization & Process:
• Keep design samples, development records, vendor submits, and seasonal CAD boards organized and accessible.
• Manage multiple seasons at once, hitting deadlines and adherent to seasonal calendars, and flag process improvements as the business scales.
