Job description

Overview

Veronica Beard is seeking a creative, curious, and resourceful Assistant Designer to support cut & sew knitwear from research through sample development.

Responsibilities

  • Create and update technical flats, presentation boards, tech packs, and line sheets.
  • Assist with fabric and trim sourcing, development submissions, and sample tracking.
  • Attend fittings, document design comments, and update sketches and development details.
  • Keep samples, materials, and digital files organized, improving systems where needed.
  • Bring unique, well-edited research from vintage, runway, art, street style, and other sources, translating inspiration into ideas for silhouettes, color, fabrics, and details.
  • Partner with Product Development, Technical Design, Merchandising, and Production to meet seasonal deadlines.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in fashion design or related training preferred.
  • 1-2 years’ experience in design
  • A refined eye for color, proportion, and detail, with an appreciation for washed, casual product, femininity, and tailoring.
  • Clean technical flats in Illustrator or Procreate, strong Photoshop skills, and familiarity with tech packs, line sheets, and fit notes.
  • A basic understanding of garment construction, fabrics, and fit.
  • Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
  • A positive, collaborative attitude and strong work ethic; receptive to feedback, asks thoughtful questions, and brings solutions.
  • PLM familiarity, an expressive croquis sketching hand, and an interest in fabric innovation are pluses.

Portfolio

A focused PDF portfolio is preferred over a website, demonstrating strong research, design development, clean flats, and thoughtful self-editing. We welcome denim, wovens, and sportswear with interesting details. Sweaters are welcome, but portfolios should show range beyond knitwear.

The hourly rate for this role is between $24.00 and $25.00. The relevant hourly rate will vary depending on wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including but not limited to, skill sets, experience, training, degrees, and certifications. The hourly rate is just one component of our total compensation offerings, which consist of a comprehensive benefits package as well as a short-term incentive program, clothing allowance, and merchandise discounts.

At Veronica Beard, we are committed to creating and maintaining a workplace where every single employee can thrive and feel valued. As a company, we firmly believe that there is strength in diversity. We seek to recruit talent from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds and are actively seeking candidates with a dedication to advancing equity, inclusion, and racial and social justice in their work.
