Technical Designer

About the role

At Everlane, we believe luxury should be as effortless as it is conscious. We partner with ethical factories, work with premium, sustainably sourced materials, and strive to leave the industry cleaner than we found it. The Technical Design Team is a small but mighty team that works closely and supports each other across all categories. Joining this team will allow you to learn many categories and grow your skills. A desire to expand your skill set and work on product you've never worked on before is a must.

The Technical Designer will be directly responsible for 1-3 categories and will provide support to additional categories while working closely with cross-functional partners on the Raw Materials, Quality Assurance, Product Development, Sourcing, and Sustainability teams. We are looking for an out-of-the-box thinker who can collaborate well with our team, outside vendors, and across all levels of the organization. This position is a full-time role and reports directly to the Director of Technical Design.
