Job Description

Carrie Amber is a multi-brand intimate apparel and lifestyle manufacturer serving the country’s largest mass, club, and off-price retailers. Our Assistant Designer helps take seasonal collections from concept to production handoff across a portfolio of 9 collections spanning approximately 5 categories — including Daisy Fuentes, Rachel Roy, Spree, RM by Rebecca Minkoff, Paris Blues, and Carrie Amber. Brand and category assignments flex with seasonal priorities and business needs. This is a hands-on role spanning CAD development, tech packs, merchandising artwork, fittings, and sample management. It suits a designer who is highly organized, detail-driven, and eager to learn the full product development and manufacturing lifecycle. What You’ll Do Design & CAD Development Build CADs for new styles and line extensions; recolor and revise based on direction from Lead Designers, Sales, Merchandising, and customers. Create and maintain tech packs and product specifications through production handoff. Support seasonal color, print, fabric, trim, and silhouette development. Keep CADs, line sheets, tech packs, and pitch sheets accurate and consistent across brands. Develop and maintain branding artwork across assigned collections — tags, charms, labels, hangers, logos — within each brand’s identity and licensor guidelines. Maintain tag sheets by style and delivery and prepare artwork specifications for production. Build selling tools — pitch sheets, planograms, assortment presentations, product visuals — for market appointments and customer meetings. Keep artwork files organized and current so every team works from the right version. Track development samples, revisions, approvals, and open items against the calendar. Review incoming samples against approved CADs, artwork, trims, and colors; flag discrepancies to the Lead Designer and affected teams. Assist with color, trim, and artwork approvals. Participate in live fittings alongside Technical Design and Lead Designers — fitting on both dress form and live models. Take fit notes, capture measurements against spec, and photograph fits for the record. Evaluate fit samples for construction, proportion, and consistency with the approved CAD. Update tech packs, spec sheets, and construction callouts to reflect approved fit corrections. Track fit status and approvals by style and delivery; follow up on corrections with overseas partners. Cross-Functional Coordination Keep Design, Technical Design, Merchandising, Sales, and Production aligned on revisions, priorities, approvals, and next steps. Maintain development checklists and deadlines while managing shifting priorities across brands. What You Bring 1–3 years of apparel design or product development experience, or a Fashion Design degree with relevant internship experience. Strong Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop skills, with the ability to produce accurate apparel CADs and technical artwork. Working knowledge of apparel construction, fabrics, trims, color, print, and garment fit. Experience creating or maintaining tech packs and product specifications. Comfort in fittings — reading a spec sheet, measuring accurately, documenting corrections clearly. Exceptional organization and attention to detail across collections, categories, and deadlines. Clear communication; comfortable taking direction and raising issues early. Ability to balance creative thinking with commercial and production requirements. You love working and collaborating with teams to drive exceptional results. Nice to Have Familiarity with PLM systems or Smartsheet-based development tracking. Exposure to mass, club, or off-price assortments (Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Ross, TJX). Why This Role Carrie Amber is small enough that you will see your work reach the floor at national retailers, and broad enough to give you real exposure to merchandising, technical design, fit, sourcing, and production. Designers who want to understand how a garment gets made — not just drawn — grow quickly here. Salary range: $25-$30 hourly, based on experience. 85% of healthcare premium + 100% of dental and vision (after 60 days) discretionary annual bonus PTO and holidays *We are hiring two people for this position.* Carrie Amber LLC is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. #J-18808-Ljbffr
