Senior Designer - UA Underwear

About the role

As a Senior Designer for Centric Brands, you will be responsible for creating designs based on style plans, sales needs, and emerging trends. Your work will be transformed into a finished product in a timely manner and at an appropriate price point. You will work closely with the Design Director, technical design and production teams, and external vendors.

Responsibilities

• Own the hands-on execution of a full licensed intimates' business each season, working directly with the Design Director on strategy while independently driving color development, tech pack execution, packaging, elastic development, and cross-functional reviews through to production handoff.
• Manage the print and assortment balancing process each season, including meeting minimum placement rules and rebalancing as prints and SMUs land.
• Own novelty elastic development end to end: concept selection, artwork, licensor and sales approval, strike-off review, color-up, and final SKU assortment.
• Lead the packaging process: review and approve licensor-built packaging art, manage PLM material creation and BOM updates, and produce 3D visualization for linesheets, thumbnails, and sell tools.
• Own tech pack construction in PLM for a full seasonal line, including separate fit constructions for different global markets.
• Run and actively participate in the post-sell-in BOM review: a multi-day, cross-functional working session correcting BOM data live across every channel and category before final tech packs are released to vendors.
• Participate in fit and wear-test rounds from first proto through pre-production approval, partnering with tech, PD, and production.
• Build and maintain the master sell-in presentation deck used across every sales region and distribution channel.
• Execute the color and product plan for all four channel variants (outlet, off-price, club, and special make-up), each on its own timing and approval logic.
• Partner with the Design Director on licensor relationship management and represent the line directly in licensor and sales working sessions as needed.

Requirements

• 6-10 years of design experience in apparel, ideally intimates, bodywear, or another fit-sensitive category.
• Strong working knowledge of a PLM system, BOM construction, and product lifecycle management from concept through production handoff.
• Comfort managing multiple concurrent product tracks with different calendars and approval chains, not just a single linear seasonal process.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign; experience with 3D visualization tools (e.g. Browzwear, Clo, Rhino) is a strong plus, not required.
• Experience working within a licensed brand structure, balancing licensor approval requirements against internal sales and production needs.
• Comfort in ambiguity: this role involves regular judgment calls without a fixed playbook and requires proactively closing gaps rather than waiting for direction.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Apparel Design, or related field.
