Job Description

Job Summary :

This role is for a footwear designer who can take full ownership of the creative vision for their assigned collections. It requires a balance of conceptual thinking and technical precision—shaping silhouettes, materials, patterns, and constructions that reflect the brand’s seasonal stories. The ideal candidate understands comfort footwear, brings fresh creative ideas, and can move seamlessly between blue-sky exploration and detailed execution. Success in this role depends on strong collaboration within a high-performing team, clear communication across functions, and the ability to translate vision into a thoughtful, commercially viable product.

Core Duties & Responsibilities

Collection Ownership & Design

  • Lead the vision for assigned collections, guiding silhouette, materiality, and story cohesion from first sketch

through line close.

  • Define how each style connects to broader trend narratives and the seasonal line plan.
  • Create and refine lasts, outsoles, midsoles, constructions, and upper details.
  • Develop hardware concepts and functional component design.

    • Materials, Color & Pattern

  • Build out collections within seasonal direction for leathers, textiles, color palettes, components, and pattern language.
  • Provide pattern correction guidance and establish clean, production-ready pattern lines.
  • Develop Adobe Illustrator pattern illustrations.
  • Produce accurate colorups as needed to support decision-making.

    • Technical Communication & Specing

  • Deliver clear pattern work & construction details. Enter and maintain all colorway & spec details—materials,

    • color details, hardware, and construction colors—directly into the PLM system, ensuring accuracy and timely

    updates throughout the development cycle.

  • Collaborate closely with Design, Merchandising, and Sourcing teams to maintain smooth workflow through

    • milestones.

  • Respond to fit, costing, and feasibility feedback with thoughtful problem-solving.

    • Job Qualifications :

  • 3-5 years in footwear design with demonstrated ownership of full collections.
  • Expertise in lasts, constructions, and patternmaking fundamentals.
  • Strong storytelling and trend translation skills; able to concept and lead seasonal direction.
  • Comfortable directing pattern correction and guiding technical refinements.
  • Contribute to a high-functioning, collaborative design team that values clarity, accountability, and shared

    • momentum.

  • Ability to travel both domestically & internationally.

    • Preferred Educational Requirements :

    Bachelor's in a design-related field.
