Tech Pack and Development Support: Prepare design intent for tech packs and BOM inputs in partnership with design and development. Maintain accurate line sheets, trim callouts, and colour updates. Fit and Review Support: Participate in fit sessions and design reviews, documenting updates and supporting revisions. Research and Trend Awareness: Research fabrics, trims, and construction references to support new product development.
Maintain awareness of market trends, cultural signals, and customer insights to keep product relevant. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work across garment development, materials, merchandising, and design operations to support smooth seasonal execution. Maintain organized design files and seasonal documentation for internal teams and factory partners. What We're Looking For 2-3 years of experience in apparel design or product design. Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Apparel Design, or related discipline, or equivalent professional experience. Experience working on apparel collections, preferably in lifestyle, athletic, or technical product categories. Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and design CAD creation.

Collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn from senior team members. Ability to work in a rapid‑paced environment with shifting priorities. Why Join Westbeach?

You'll Have Impact: Your work will directly shape seasonal collections for a brand in full relaunch mode.
