Job Title: Technical Designer (Private Label)

Department: Design
Location: Glendale, CA – In office
Reports To: Director of Product Development

About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Designer to support our expanding mass-market private-label Women's and Juniors apparel programs. This role owns the technical design process from concept through bulk production - ensuring fit consistency, manufacturability, compliance, and quality while supporting aggressive timelines and large-scale volume. You will partner closely with internal cross-functional teams and global factory partners to meet retailer expectations and drive product accuracy the first time.

Key Responsibilities

Fit & Product Excellence

  • Lead internal fittings for Women's & Juniors tops, dresses, sweaters, denim, bottoms, knits, wovens, and lounge using both live and form models.
  • Evaluate fit, balance, proportion, and construction with a focus on consistent mass-market fit standards.
  • Strong knowledge of elevated, high-end, construction details
  • Translate design intent into scalable technical solutions that support efficiency, cost, and manufacturability.
  • Maintain and evolve standardized body blocks, size specs, grading, and tolerances across programs.

Technical Documentation & Communication

  • Build and maintain high-accuracy tech packs including graded specs, BOMs, and construction call-outs.
  • Issue clear, concise fit and construction comments to factories after each fitting.
  • Manage proto, SMS, PP, and TOP approvals - identifying risks before production.
  • Ensure version accuracy across PLM and alignment with retailer systems and standards.

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Partner with Design to preserve aesthetic intent while ensuring construction feasibility and cost targets.
  • Collaborate with Production, Sourcing, QA/Compliance, and Merchandising to resolve fit and construction challenges.
  • Support Sales & Account teams with retailer-specific fit standards and feedback expectations.

Mass-Market & Private-Label Focus

  • Interpret and execute multiple mass-retail fit, testing, labeling, compliance, and performance standards.
  • Anticipate and mitigate the impacts of shrinkage, wash, and fabric variability.
  • Ensure alignment to delivery calendars and milestone approvals to support on-time execution at scale.
  • Drive factory consistency across regions, facilities, and washhouses.

Qualifications

Experience & Skills

  • 4+ years of Technical Design experience in Women's and/or Juniors apparel for mass-market retail.
  • Strong understanding of private-label development, retailer approval processes, and compliance standards.
  • Advanced knowledge of garment construction, patternmaking, grading, shrinkage behavior, textiles, and wash techniques.
  • Proven fitting expertise across multiple categories including:
  • Knits & wovens
  • Sweaters
  • Denim & bottoms
  • Dresses & tops
  • Lounge/casual apparel
  • Proficiency with PLM platforms, Adobe Illustrator, and Excel.
  • Experience working directly with offshore factories and navigating timezone-based workflows.
  • Exceptional technical communication skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple programs and shifting priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Education

Degree in Technical Design, Patternmaking, Apparel Production, Fashion Design, or related field preferred.

Soft Skills That Matter

Detail-driven, organized, and solution-oriented

Calm and confident leading fittings and negotiations

Strong collaborator and proactive communicator

Comfortable working in a deadline-driven, high-volume environment

Success in This Role Looks Like

Reliable, repeatable fit across deliveries, factories, and programs

Reduced sample rounds and faster approvals

Strong factory partnerships built on clarity and trust

Consistent on-time delivery

Minimal production issues due to early technical oversight
