If you have a keen eye for detail, a passion for bringing product to life, and strong technical design experience within denim and apparel, we would love to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide technical design support for denim products, ensuring optimal fit, construction, quality, and consistency.
  • Create and maintain detailed tech packs, graded specifications, BOMs, construction pages, and fit documentation using PLM and Excel.

  • Conduct fittings independently and provide clear, detailed fit comments focused on consistency, functionality, quality, and commercialization.
  • Evaluate and measure samples from prototype through TOP approval, ensuring accuracy and consistency across size ranges.
  • Partner closely with Design to maintain the intended aesthetic while resolving technical, fit, and construction challenges.
  • Communicate effectively with factories and overseas partners regarding fit corrections, construction details, wash requirements, quality issues, and execution solutions.
  • Track sample development and approvals against seasonal calendars to support on-time delivery.
  • Establish and maintain fit and construction standards for the denim business.
  • Troubleshoot denim-specific issues, including garment wash effects, fabric shrinkage, stretch and recovery, fit retention, seam construction, and overall garment performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Design, Merchandising, Product Development, Sourcing, and Production teams to support end-to-end product development.
  • Maintain accurate technical documentation, specifications, comments, and approvals within PLM systems.
  • Manage multiple styles, priorities, and deadlines effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Provide additional technical design support based on customer and business needs.

  • 5–7+ years of technical design experience, with strong denim experience.
  • Strong knowledge of garment construction, patternmaking, grading, fit development, fabric performance, and manufacturing processes.
  • Strong understanding of denim fabrics, washes, shrinkage, stretch and recovery, garment performance, and quality standards.
  • Proven ability to independently lead fittings from development through TOP approval.
  • Experience working with major retail customers and managing customer-specific technical requirements preferred.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams and global vendors.
  • High proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Excel, and PLM systems.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
