• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to problem‑solve fit, fabrication, construction, and finish challenges.
• Use Levi's archive access and innovation lab prototyping resources to explore ideas, test finishes, and refine product quickly.
• Work fluidly in a fast‑moving environment, adapting designs in response to testing and feedback
• Provide guidance to the Assistant Designer, contributing to a collaborative and engaged design team.

About You

• 5+ years of experience designing women's bottoms, denim, or related apparel categories.
• Knowledge of denim construction, fabrications, washes, hardware, trims, and bills of material.
• Design approach grounded in craft, fit, and detail, paired with curiosity about modern silhouettes and styling.
• Comfort designing within commercial and operational constraints while still introducing newness.
• Interest in how products are developed end‑to‑end, from concept through production.
