Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a Senior Apparel Designer who brings a strong point of view and thrives in a fast-paced, close-to-market environment. You are a storyteller at heart, with the ability to translate trends, insights, and cultural signals into compelling apparel collections that resonate with the EMEA consumer. You combine creativity with precision, balancing elevated design with speed, efficiency, and commercial awareness. You are confident working across product levels—from concept to prototype—while collaborating cross-functionally to deliver high-quality outcomes. With a strong understanding of materials, color, and construction, you know how to build emotional connection through product and narrative.

  • Experience in apparel design, ideally across performance, sport, and lifestyle
  • Strong storytelling skills with the ability to translate insights into visual narratives
  • Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, with experience in 2D/3D tools (e.g., CLO) and emerging AI design tools (e.g., Vizcom)
  • Experience working across international markets, ideally within EMEA
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and organizational skills in a fast-moving environment

What you’ll work on

You will create apparel concepts and collections that connect deeply with EMEA consumers, translating seasonal direction into meaningful design solutions that balance creativity, speed, and precision.

  • Design and develop seasonal apparel concepts aligned to EMEA consumer insights and trends
  • Use color, materials, trims, and construction to build strong, cohesive product stories
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Management, Development, and Footwear teams
  • Communicate design intent clearly through sketches, presentations, and prototypes
  • Monitor sample development and ensure timely execution from concept to final product
  • Make informed design decisions balancing creativity, cost, and speed-to-market
  • Contribute to a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation across teams
