About Athleta

For the past 25 years, we’ve committed ourselves and our brand to a single aim : to empower all women and girls. Inspiration. Collaboration. Connection. Inclusivity. It’s what we do best, and we’re on the hunt for people who share our passion for leading an active lifestyle, growing personally as well as professionally, and creating game-changing products and experiences.

We use business as a force for good by putting people and the planet right up there with profit, which is why Athleta is a certified B Corp. Ready to make a move? Join us. Because we know that alone we’re strong, but together we’re unstoppable.

About the Role

As a Designer for Trims & Branding, you’ll support the development and execution of seasonal trim and branding strategies—spanning labels, hardware, packaging elements, and brand identity details. This role partners closely with cross-functional teams to bring brand storytelling to life through high-quality, functional, and visually compelling trims that align with aesthetic, cost, and sustainability goals.

You will contribute to all aspects of the design process—from concepting and vendor collaboration to sampling, approvals, and execution—ensuring that trim details enhance the customer experience and reinforce the brand identity at every touchpoint.

What You'll Do

Design Development & Execution

  • Assist in designing seasonal trim collections and branding details (e.g., heat transfers, buttons, zippers, labels, patches, etc.) across categories in alignment with brand direction.
  • Translate concept boards and seasonal direction into detailed trim design specifications and CADs.
  • Support creation and maintenance of BOM-ready artwork, design cards, and tech packs in collaboration with Product Development and Sourcing.
  • Participate in handoffs, approvals, and sample reviews to ensure on-brand execution.

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Partner with Product Development, Sourcing, Merchandising, and Color teams to execute seasonal trims that meet aesthetic, timeline, and cost targets.
  • Collaborate with peers to ensure cohesion across all physical brand elements.
  • Support communication with vendors and mills, including development requests, comments, and sample tracking.
  • Process & Calendar Management

  • Assist in maintaining seasonal timelines for trims and branding deliverables, ensuring milestones are met and sample reviews are completed on time.
  • Help manage updates and organization of trim libraries and internal reference materials.
  • Support the team in prepping for milestone presentations and reviews with senior design and merchandising partners.
  • Who You Are

  • A detail-oriented designer with a passion for physical branding, storytelling through materials, and innovative product execution.
  • A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, seasonal environment.
  • Eager to learn and grow in your technical understanding of trims, packaging, and manufacturing processes.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, Industrial Design, or related field.
  • 2–4 years of design experience, preferably in trims, branding, packaging, or accessory design.
  • Strong understanding of materials, finishes, and manufacturing techniques related to trims and branding.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop); experience with PLM systems and 3D tools a plus.
  • Excellent visual communication skills; able to present ideas clearly and effectively.
  • Familiarity with sustainability trends and material innovations in trims is a plus.
  • Benefits at Athleta

  • Merchandise discount for our brands : 50% off regular-priced merchandise at Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic and Athleta, and 30% off at Outlet for all employees.
  • One of the most competitive Paid Time Off plans in the industry.
  • Employees can take up to five “on the clock” hours each month to volunteer at a charity of their choice.
  • Extensive 401(k) plan with company matching for contributions up to four percent of an employee’s base pay.
  • Employee stock purchase plan.
  • Medical, dental, vision and life insurance.
  • See more of the benefits we offer.
  • For eligible employees
  • Gap Inc. is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to providing a workplace free from harassment and discrimination. We are committed to recruiting, hiring, training and promoting qualified people of all backgrounds, and make all employment decisions without regard to any protected status.
