Jobs - Technical Designer

Bonobos is one of the fastest growing fashion startups in America. After just 18 months, we have grown from a team of two to a team of 20 and are on pace to sell more than 35,000 pairs of pants this year, direct to our customers.

We attribute our growth to our revolutionary business model; we are building the world's first 100% web-driven, premium men's brand, powered by awesome products, customer service and technology.

We are looking to round out our apparel team by bringing on a superstar technical designer to lead our expansion into new fabrications and classifications as we move production offshore.

Responsibilities

We are looking for someone to help us build the Bonobos brand by standardizing a process to fit our products. As Bonobos’ technical designer, we need this person to help Bonobos build the technical design capabilities of a world-class apparel organization. This position will entail working closely with the apparel team, particularly the Director of Design, to ensure consistency of product fit and quality. As Bonobos continues to grow and evolve, your responsibilities and autonomy will adjust accordingly. We want someone who can be flexible as we continue to develop and refine our strategy to align with what is best for the future of our business.

Expect to take on these responsibilities right away:

• Create tech packs to send to our factories.
• Drive rigorous sample testing iterations and manage the timing of this process to align with overall production schedule.
• Work closely with Director of Design and Head of Production to manage production calendar, select fabrics, trims, etc. and ensure technical excellence of product.

• Incorporate consumer insights from marketing to facilitate continual product evolution.

• Has demonstrated excellence in technical design. Your technical input will ultimately help us ensure consistent and high quality product. By joining now, you will have an opportunity to shape our organization and position it for long-term success.
• Is passionate about working at a startup and being an owner of our company. We often hear that it takes years to move up the corporate ladder at established brands. We are a rapidly growing men's apparel startup with enormous opportunities for talented team members. You won't be fettered by convention or stymied by incumbents.
• Understands and embraces our direct business model. Buys into our philosophy that men don't love shopping and that we can do a better job serving them with a direct approach, primarily through the web.
• Wants to change the industry. We are a modest startup, but we hope to become a disruptive company and shake up the stodgy retail world - does that sound awesome (and overdue) to you?

Compensation

We offer competitive wages and offer equity incentives to employees. As with all of our employees, we want you to be excited to own a piece of the company and to work hand in hand with the rest of us to build a game-changing business.
