What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Designer position at TravisMathew?
TravisMathew is a premium apparel brand that exists because we seized an opportunity—and we’re inviting you to take yours. Back in 2007, we saw there weren’t many companies whose clothing bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, so we created our own. Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e-commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew.
The Associate Designer is responsible for assisting Designers in the following menswear categories: polos, wovens, bottoms, jackets, sweaters, t-shirts, hats, footwear, accessories and more. As well as organizing various design tools and assisting in merchandising functions.
Roles And Responsibilities
If your experience is close to what we're looking for, please consider applying! Experience comes in many forms – skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we're dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and encourage everyone to apply.
