Department: Multibrand/Hybrid/Franchise

Location: Los Angeles HQ

Compensation: $110,000 - $130,000 / year

Description

SKIMS is a solutions-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, shapewear, and essentials. We are setting new standards by delivering technically innovative, comfort-driven products with elevated design for everybody.

At the intersection of culture, innovation, and commerce, SKIMS is a global brand redefining modern apparel. Our teams are built on creativity, collaboration, and operational excellence, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive, high-performance environment where ambitious, curious, and values-driven individuals can do the best work of their careers.

As we continue to scale globally, our HQ teams play a critical role in shaping strategy, building world-class infrastructure, and driving sustainable growth across markets.

SKIMS is looking for a detail-driven, visually sharp Junior Project Manager focused on Design to join our New Store Development team. This role sits at the intersection of creative vision and technical execution — supporting the design and delivery of SKIMS retail environments including flagship stores, pop-ups, experiential activations, and office spaces.

You will serve as the connective tissue between our design architect, cross-functional partners, and vendors, ensuring every project reflects the SKIMS aesthetic from early concept through to doors open. You bring a genuine design eye, designdocumentation experience, and the organizational discipline to keep multiple complex projects moving in parallel.

This is a role for someone who understands that every detail matters — and that the difference between a good space and a great one lives in the execution.
