The Role

This is a unique role that combines apparel product development, technical running knowledge, and a whole lot of creativity. We're looking for someone who can jump between creating a killer t-shirt graphic, reviewing a trim color, measuring a pre-production sample, and figuring out how to make a product even better. If you have a strong eye for design and detail, love running, and get excited about technical apparel, you might be our person.

• Communicate product requirements, feedback, and revisions to factories and vendors.

Running Product Expertise

• Bring a runner's perspective to evaluating product functionality, fit, comfort, and performance.
• Stay informed about technical running apparel, materials, construction, and industry trends.
• Help identify opportunities to improve existing products and expand our assortment, particularly in men's running apparel.

Design

• Create fun, original graphics for ChicknLegs merchandise, including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, patches, and accessories.
• Design hang tags, labels, packaging, stickers, and other branded materials.
• Maintain consistency with ChicknLegs' visual identity while finding creative ways to bring our personality to life.

Ideal Qualifications

• Experience in athletic apparel, activewear, sportswear, or performance apparel design or development.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating relevant design work. Portfolio required for consideration.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Understanding of performance fabrics, garment construction, fit, and functionality.
• Experience creating original graphics, prints, or artwork for apparel.
• Familiarity with garment measurements, technical specifications, and sample evaluations.
• Strong understanding of color, typography, and production-ready artwork.
• Exceptional attention to detail and an eye for product quality.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Resourcefulness, initiative, and a willingness to jump in wherever needed.
• Experience designing or developing running apparel, particularly men's performance apparel.
• Familiarity with technical fabrics, moisture-wicking materials, and athletic garment construction.
• Experience working with overseas factories or vendors.
• Experience with tech packs, fit evaluations, or apparel production processes.
