We’re looking for a Materials Development Associate to provide seasonal coverage on our apparel materials team. You’ll own the technical side of materials development for our sportswear and lifestyle collections — managing fabrics, prints, base textiles, and wash development. This isn’t a design role; it’s about translating design direction into technically sound, production-ready materials. You’ll partner with our design, product development, and product management teams to brief on specifications, execute testing and validation, and get materials set up in our systems so production can run smoothly. You’ll manage vendor relationships, coordinate lab testing, track physical samples, and make sure all technical data is accurate.
