Designer, Wrangler Women’s

Wrangler has always stood for more than what you wear. It represents individuality, confidence, freedom and an unmistakable point of view. As Wrangler Women’s continues to evolve, we’re looking for a designer who can honor that authenticity while helping imagine where the brand can go next.

We’re looking for a fashion-minded, culturally curious apparel designer with a strong point of view and a passion for creating compelling product. Someone who sees the full look, not simply the individual item, and understands how silhouette, proportion, fabrication, wash, color, print and detail come together to create something a woman wants to wear.

This is an opportunity to design across multiple women’s apparel categories
, bringing fresh ideas to a globally recognized brand while translating Wrangler’s Western heritage through a modern, relevant lens.

Reporting to the Head Designer for Wrangler Women’s, this designer will work closely with the Head Designer and Senior Design Director to bring the brand’s creative vision to life
. They’ll take creative direction while bringing their own ideas, curiosity and point of view to the conversation, collaborating across the broader Design team to create a collection that feels cohesive from concept through development.

Bring the Vision to Life

Partner closely with the Head Designer and Senior Design Director to translate the brand’s creative vision into compelling women’s product. Take direction and build upon it, bringing new ideas and a strong design point of view to help move the collection forward.

Design Across the Wardrobe

Think beyond a single category. Create product and head-to-toe looks across women’s apparel, with the versatility to work across denim and non-denim categories while building a cohesive seasonal point of view.

Create as One Design Team

Collaborate closely with the Head Designer and broader Design team throughout concept and development, looking beyond individual category ownership to ensure harmony across silhouette, proportion, color, fabrication, wash, print and styling
. Work collectively to make the total Wrangler Women’s assortment feel intentional, connected and unmistakably Wrangler.

Know Her World

Stay immersed in fashion, culture, markets and the evolving Wrangler woman. Research emerging shifts in silhouette, styling, color, material and consumer behavior, then translate those insights into ideas that feel fresh while remaining authentic to the brand.

Bring Fresh Ideas

Be curious. Explore what’s next and bring new thinking to the creative conversation. Challenge expected solutions, identify white space and find unexpected ways to evolve familiar ideas while respecting the creative direction of the season.

Turn Ideas Into Great Product

Own product from concept through pre-production. Sketch, develop materials, refine details and partner through fittings and sample reviews to protect the creative idea while achieving strong fit, construction, quality and commercial viability.

Build the Story

Create compelling concept boards, design presentations, CADs and seasonal narratives that communicate not just what we are designing, but why it matters. Confidently articulate design ideas and product intent to Design leadership and cross-functional partners.
