Director, Product Development; Women's Apparel

Who We Are:

Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. We’re #2.

Since 2009, we’ve been on a mission to bring sustainable fashion to everyone. Named one of Fast Company’s Brands That Matter and winning a Best Carbon Footprint award, we have big goals like being Climate Positive by 2025, Circular by 2030, and pushing the whole industry forward along the way. Our work has gotten love in Drapers and Sourcing Journal, and TIME wrote about how great our CEO, Hali Borenstein, is.

Basically, we’re saving the Earth and looking damn good doing it.

We’re a global brand with 50+ stores (and counting) around the world, and our own sustainable factory in LA. We innovate across categories like accessories, swimwear, and sleepwear, and we reach millions of people with campaigns like this, this and this.

None of this work is possible without the incredible people behind it. We’re a mission-based company that invests in an inclusive culture, so we can innovate together and ensure everyone has the space to grow, thrive, and belong.

And starting right now, we want to do all that with you.

We’re looking for a Director of Product Development to own execution across our Import and Domestic product development — from pass-off to production. Reporting to the VP, Product Development & Production, this is one of the most consequential leadership roles in our Product organization: the person in this seat directly shapes our margin performance, our speed to market, and how well design ambition survives contact with real-world sourcing and production.

You’ll partner closely with Design, R&D, Merchandising, Tech Services, and Production to keep product moving on time and on margin, while building and mentoring the team that gets us there. Your cost engineering and vendor negotiation decisions flow straight through to company-level financial performance, and your calendar and process discipline is what lets us move fast without compromising quality or our sustainability commitments.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants real ownership over how product gets made - not just how it’s tracked.

• Oversee the entire product development lifecycle in scope — concept, tech pack hand-off, sampling, costing, fit, and pass-off to production — as the single accountable owner of the calendar.
• Run the fast lane calendar, holding the team to established chase timelines for both domestic and import development.
• Work closely with the design team to translate creative direction into viable, manufacturable product, surfacing feasibility, costing, and timeline constraints early.
• Partner with R&D on fabric and trim selection to avoid margin or retail-price disconnects downstream.
• Own costing across all channels in scope, holding suppliers to target cost and margin goals through negotiation.
• Develop and manage the department’s product development and production budget, tracking spend against plan and flagging variances early.
• Establish and maintain strong, accountable relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, and vendors in scope.
• Own vendor performance conversations - cost, quality, delivery - and bring recommendations on capacity allocation and vendor mix.
• Own the deadstock and trim sourcing process, balancing development speed, sustainability commitments, and data integrity.
• Maintain style bill of materials and product data accurately in PLM/PIM across the full product lifecycle across the teams managed.
• Align development plans with merchandising and planning so the calendar reflects business goals and allocation-to-plan, not just internal PD capacity.
• Ensure every style in scope meets compliance and quality standards before pass-off, partnering…
