The posting

At The North Face, our equipment is built to go further, from everyday exploration to the most demanding adventures. As the Product Developer, Equipment, you’ll help bring our range of packs, travel bags, and duffels from creative concept to production-ready product.

You’ll be the technical connection between Design, Product Management, Materials, Sourcing, Quality, and our global vendor partners, turning design vision into products that deliver on performance, durability, quality, and value. From evaluating prototypes and solving construction challenges to managing product specifications and identifying smarter ways to build, you’ll play a hands-on role throughout the development process.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Own the technical development of assigned products from prototype through pre-production and buy readiness.
  • Translate design intent into production-ready solutions across construction, patterning, reinforcement, structure, hardware, zippers, trims, and other technical components.
  • Create and maintain accurate product specifications in FlexPLM, including tech packs, BOMs, measurements, construction details, colorways, labeling, and packaging.
  • Review prototypes and samples, providing clear vendor direction and resolving construction, workmanship, function, and durability issues.
  • Manage development milestones and partner with Design and Product Management to address risks, changes, and trade-offs while protecting product intent.
  • Review vendor costing and identify value-engineering opportunities that support margin goals without compromising quality or performance.
  • Partner with Materials and Quality on material selection, testing, sustainability, compliance, and continuous product improvement.
  • Use Adobe Illustrator and other technical tools to clearly communicate construction details, callouts, artwork placement, and product specifications to vendors.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

We all have unique skills that we bring to work and celebrate every day. For this role, there are foundation skills you’ll need to succeed and excel. Additionally, while formal education in a related field is great to have, we are most interested in your 4+ years of experience and professional achievements within the design and product creation field.

  • 4+ years of product development experience in equipment/hardgoods (preferably packs, bags, luggage, travel, or outdoor softgoods).
  • Strong technical knowledge of bag construction and components
  • Experience analyzing vendor costing and communicating cost drivers/trade-offs.
  • Proficiency with FlexPLM (or equivalent PLM) and strong data discipline.
  • Working proficiency in Adobe Illustrator for technical diagrams and/or artwork placement.
  • Strong communication skills with global vendor partners; able to give precise, actionable sample feedback.
  • Ability to manage multiple styles and hit development gates.

There are also a few skills that are not required but preferred.

  • Experience supporting global development across regions and factory types.
  • Familiarity with testing standards and common failure modes in packs/travel/duffels.
  • Experience supporting sustainability initiatives (preferred/recycled materials, packaging reduction, durability/repair considerations).
  • Outdoor/travel enthusiast and dedicated outdoor gear user.

Location requirement: This role operates on a hybrid schedule out of our HQ in Denver, CO three days a week.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
