What are the responsibilities and job description for the Designer - Sleepwear & Loungewear - Licensed Apparel position at IsaacMorris?
About Us
Isaac Morris Ltd is a leading manufacturer and distributer of licensed and owned brand apparel. Our product offering spans across men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ sportswear, swim & outerwear, scrubs, and most recently sleep & loungewear. Within sleep & lounge, we are focused on elevated essentials, best-in-class fabrication, and fast, retail-ready execution. We move quickly, iterate constantly, and rely on data, creativity, and commercial instincts in equal measure.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a tactical, multi-skilled sleep & loungewear designer to own design and product development from concept through production. This is a hands-on role for a builder—not an agency creative. You’ll work directly with leadership, factories, fabric mills, and cross-functional partners to develop cohesive collections that meet cost, margin, and timeline targets.
What You’ll Do
· Lead design for all sleepwear categories: tops, bottoms, sets, seasonal capsules, novelty drops, licensed collaborations, and packaging
· Translate trends, retail insights, and brand direction into commercial, on-brand assortments
· Create CADs, tech packs, BOMs, color/print direction, trims, and detailed construction specs
· Partner closely with factories on proto development, fittings, revisions, and bulk approvals
· Drive material development: fabric selection, hand-feel standards, wash testing, performance requirements, and cost optimization
· Own the development calendar, ensuring styles move on time from design → proto → SMS → production
· Work with leadership to build line architecture, price points, and margin structure
· Maintain organized design libraries, spec sheets, fabric records, trim archives, and internal documentation
· Collaborate on branding, packaging, photoshoot prep, and product presentation when needed
What Makes You a Fit
· 5 years of experience in apparel design or product development—sleepwear, intimates, loungewear, or knit-heavy categories strongly preferred
· Deep technical skill: CAD fluency, strong understanding of construction, fabric behavior, costing, and factory communication
· Comfortable working directly with overseas factories and navigating fit issues, sampling constraints, and production timelines
· Equally creative and analytical—you care about aesthetics and margins
· Highly organized with strong follow-through and ability to manage many styles in motion
· Thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where decisions are made quickly and execution matters
Why Join
· Build the design function from the ground up and leave your mark on the brand
· Work closely with leadership and have meaningful influence over product direction
· Opportunity for long-term growth as the company scales
- Competitive compensation with performance upside -DOE
