Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Apparel Designer who can own the end-to-end garment design process — from concept to production — while working closely with production, marketing, sales, and marketplace teams.

You will be responsible for shaping collections that are on-trend, brand-aligned, production-feasible, and market-ready.
