In this role, you'll partner closely with cross-functional teams across design, development, and production to create compelling products that resonate with consumers and help drive business growth. From concept through final product execution, you'll have the opportunity to influence seasonal collections, explore new market opportunities, and contribute ideas that shape the future of the brand.
For experienced designers who enjoy balancing creativity with execution, this role offers the chance to make a visible impact while collaborating with talented teams around the globe. This position may also provide the opportunity to mentor and support Assistant and/or Associate Designers.

  • Partner with the Design Director to determine line coloration, material selection, and seasonal design storytelling.

Product Development & Technical Design
  • Develop and manage design specifications, technical packages (tech packs), and product documentation.
  • Communicate with overseas development partners, including leather and fabric teams, to support product execution.
  • Review prototypes and samples, providing timely updates and revisions to tech packs based on agreed-upon changes.
  • Ensure all designs adhere to brand standards, digital template guidelines, and established product calendars.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with production teams to develop products that align with target pricing, customer expectations, and market positioning.
  • Collaborate closely with design, development, and production partners to ensure design intent is consistently reflected throughout the product creation process.
  • Support peers and sales teams to help ensure seasonal initiatives and product launches run smoothly.
  • Build strong working relationships across teams, contributing to a collaborative and solution-oriented environment.

Project Management & Business Partnership
  • Manage multiple design projects simultaneously, balancing creativity, quality, and deadlines.
  • Proactively anticipate project needs and prioritize work effectively to achieve key milestones and critical delivery dates.
  • Prepare and deliver presentations that clearly communicate design vision, creative rationale, and product direction.

Leadership & Team Development
  • Coach, mentor, and support one or two Assistant Designers when applicable, encouraging growth, development, and team success.

Travel
  • Travel internationally as needed.
  • Attend trade shows, industry events, and other business-related meetings as required.

What You'll Need
Design & Industry Expertise
  • Ability to leverage market research, trend forecasting, consumer insights, and industry knowledge to contribute to seasonal design direction and product development.
  • Strong understanding of foundational design principles and footwear construction.
  • Ability to sketch, create CADs, and translate concepts into commercially viable products.

Collaboration & Communication
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams and global partners.
  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities while maintaining a positive, team-oriented approach.
  • Professional and customer-focused mindset with strong relationship-building skills.
