Senior Designer - Nippies

Nippies is the category-defining brand behind the modern nipple cover and bra-alternative space. We operate as an omni-channel business, with a premium line (Nippies, ) and a mass-market line (Nips by Nippies) sold at Target and Walmart, alongside a significant Amazon business and long-standing wholesale and retail relationships. We're growing fast across every channel, and we're building out a broader assortment of bra-alternative solutions for women who want comfort, support, and coverage without a traditional bra.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who wants to shape the next generation of that assortment.

We're looking for a Senior Designer to lead the creative development of new bra-alternative solutions across both the Nippies and Nips by Nippies lines. You'll drive concept from trend and consumer insight through to a finished, market-ready product, working closely with our technical and production teams to bring your ideas to life. We're especially interested in designers with a point of view shaped by adjacent categories like intimates, sleep, and swim, where comfort, fit, and body-conscious design all matter as much as aesthetics.

• Lead design and concept development for new bra-alternative products across both Nippies and Nips by Nippies, from initial sketch through final approval
• Research trend, whitespace, and consumer need across intimates, sleep, swim, and active wear, and translate what you find into original product concepts
• Build mood boards, sketches, and design presentations that bring new silhouettes and product ideas to life for leadership and buyers
• Partner closely with technical design and production to ensure your concepts translate into buildable, comfortable, well-fitting products
• Select and recommend fabrics, adhesives, trims, and colors that support both the aesthetic and comfort goals of each style
• Attend and help lead fittings, offering a design perspective on fit, silhouette, and overall look and feel
• Stay closely tuned to what's happening across the bra-alternative, next-gen bra, and comfort-intimates space, and use that to inform where we differentiate
• Help build seasonal design calendars and manage multiple concepts and product lines at once
• Collaborate cross-functionally with merchandising, marketing, and leadership to make sure new products align with brand vision and channel needs
• Mentor and provide creative direction to junior designers or outside contractors as the team grows

• 7+ years of design experience, ideally with a background spanning intimates, sleep, swim, or other body-conscious apparel categories
• A strong point of view on fit, comfort, and silhouette, with an eye for where fashion and function meet
• Proven experience taking concepts from sketch through to a finished, market-ready product
• Comfortable partnering with technical design and factories to translate creative vision into buildable specs, without needing to own the tech pack yourself
• Proficiency with Illustrator and other standard design tools;
  Photoshop and presentation-deck skills a plus
• A genuine curiosity about innovation in the bra-alternative space, and comfort experimenting with new materials and constructions
• Strong communicator who can present ideas clearly to both creative and business audiences
• Comfortable operating in a small, fast-moving team where you'll wear more than one hat

You'd be joining at a pivotal moment, helping define what bra-alternative products look and feel like for two of the fastest-growing brands in the category, with real retail scale behind you and room to shape the creative direction of new product lines from the ground
