Senior Apparel Designer

Janji makes technical running and outdoor apparel for people who spend real time on their feet. We're growing our design team and looking for a Senior Apparel Designer to help shape Men's and Women's product across the line. This is a technical, function-first role with a contemporary aesthetic.

Responsibilities

• Design Men's and Women's apparel with a technical, function-first approach and a contemporary eye.
• Partner directly with Tech Design and our Developer from concept through production.
• Own the design process end to end: research, sketching, fabric and trim selection, fit reviews, and revisions.
• Bring a point of view on solving problems and reducing barriers for the Janji athlete/customer.
• Push the line forward season over season, always asking what the product could do better.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in apparel design.
• A portfolio showing technical, function-first design, across Men's and Women's.
• Comfort working hands-on with Tech Design and Development to solve fit and construction problems as a design moves toward production.
• Technical, construction-first design background (garment construction, seaming, taped/sealed seams for outerwear).
• Materials knowledge (knits, wovens, synthetics, merino, etc.).
• Adobe Illustrator (universal, always required).
• Cross-functional fluency: costing, MOQ, line planning, sourcing timelines.
• Based at, or willing to relocate to, our Boston HQ.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing outdoor or running apparel.
• A personal passion for running or the outdoors. We're not looking for someone who just likes the look of it.
• 3D design: CLO3D or Browzwear (increasingly standard, esp. Nike/New Balance).
