Fashion Designer
Ready to design the next viral activewear set? Join a fast-growing DTC powerhouse and bridge the gap between high-performance engineering and social commerce.
Sperton Global AS, a global recruitment and consulting firm with offices across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, has partnered with a U.S.-based, fast-growing DTC fashion and apparel brand. We are looking for a Fashion Designer for a hands-on, remote role focused on the U.S. market.
This role bridges the gap between high-fashion aesthetics and technical athletic performance. You will be responsible for the end-to-end product lifecycle, from raw material innovation to final production-ready tech packs.
What You’ll Do
Creative Direction & Concepting: Lead the design of seasonal activewear collections that blend technical performance with the "Studio-to-Street" aesthetic prevalent in the U.S. market.
Product Engineering: Design high-performance garments from initial sketch to final seal. This includes defining fabric weight (GSM), moisture-wicking properties, and specific fiber blends.
Technical Excellence: Develop comprehensive Tech Packs including BOM (Bill of Materials), graded measurement specs, and detailed construction callouts (e.g., flatlock stitching, bonding, laser-cutting).
Sample & Fit Iteration: Lead rigorous fit sessions and sample reviews to ensure superior movement, compression, and comfort.
Market Intelligence: Monitor social commerce trends (TikTok/Instagram) and athlete insights to ensure the brand remains at the forefront of the "athleisure" movement.
Operational Management: Oversee the material procurement process and manage the design calendar to meet DTC "fast-drop" timelines.
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design or related fields.
4+ years of professional experience in activewear/fashion design, ideally within high-growth DTC brands or premium lifestyle apparel.
Strong illustration skills with a portfolio that demonstrates technical flats, mood boards, and the transition from concept to functional product.
Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator are mandatory).
Advanced textile knowledge, including fabric sourcing, technical specifications, and a deep understanding of performance knits and compression materials.
Hands-on, detail-oriented mindset with the ability to independently execute complex design projects in a remote environment.
Excellent communication and organizational skills, specifically for collaborating with cross-functional teams and overseas manufacturing partners.
Application Requirement
To be considered for this role, candidates must submit both a Resume and a Digital Portfolio (PDF or Website link) showcasing technical tech packs and activewear designs.
Applicants must reside in and be legally authorized to work in the United States
