The Role

You'll own end-to-end product design across optical and sunglasses, from concept through production readiness. That means leading silhouette development, material and color work, and construction detailing; driving CADs, tech packs, sampling and fit validation; and managing overseas factory relationships so execution holds to design intent.

You'll build the technical documentation and design systems that let quality scale, own trend research and competitive analysis with minimal support, and partner with planning and merchandising to shape assortment. Your job is to be the senior hand who executes at the highest level and codifies how it gets done.

The Package

  • $100,000 - $150,000
  • Relocation package available
  • Quarterly cultural spend and quarterly employee frame allowance
  • Educational allowance for ongoing development
  • Paid parental leave, adoption assistance and EAP
  • Health, vision and dental cover; FSA/HSA; 401(k); life and AD&D
  • Commuter benefits; 10 paid holidays plus PTO accrual

The Person

You're a specialist eyewear Designer with 5 - 8+ years across both sun and optical, currently in-house or at a frame-producing studio. You've led product end-to-end and are fluent in eyewear construction, materials and fit. Crucially, you've built and standardised technical processes before - not just designed well, but documented how good design repeats. You're advanced in CAD and Adobe Creative Suite, comfortable with overseas manufacturing, and ready to be the senior design authority while creative direction sits with a founder.
