WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Were seeking a Senior Graphic Artist with serious hustle, a commercial mindset, and a proven track record in licensed womens sports apparel.

Were looking for someone who moves fast, takes ownership, understands how to deliver commercial design solutions, and thrives in a performance-driven, business-focused environment.
If you know how to create graphics that blend fashion-forward design with sports licensing compliance and youre energized by the challenge of contributing directly to growth, revenue, and retail success, this is your opportunity.

Speed, precision, and understanding the why behind what we do are non-negotiables. Youll collaborate with cross-functional teams but be expected to self-manage and deliver results without constant oversight so trust is key.

Create original, fashion-forward graphics for licensed womens sports apparel. Execute production-ready files for various print methods: screenprint, DTG, DTF, applique, and more.

Including best practices for garment color changing and art drops. Collaborate cross-functionally with Creative, Product, Licensing, and Marketing. Lead the charge on keeping projects on time, on brand, and on strategy. Work within strict licensing and brand guidelines while keeping the end consumer and retailer in mind. Stay ahead of design, fashion, and fan culture trends to keep the product assortment fresh and relevant.

Expert-level Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator). Strong understanding of production, embellishments, and garment decoration. Mastery of creating assets for licensed brands and knowing how to work within compliance. A brain wired for speed, accuracy, accountability, and adaptability. Ability to manage multiple projects with overlapping deadlines. Confidence to lead your work and decisions without ego. Experience in a high-performance, fast-growth, no-hand-holding environment. A collaborative spirit, with the ability to communicate clearly and directly.
