About Us

Olive Ateliers is a fast-growing, founder-led lifestyle brand entering a pivotal next chapter. What began as a business rooted in sourcing and retailing vintage objects from around the world is now evolving into a design-led home furnishings company, with rapidly expanding proprietary collections produced through a trusted network of global partners. As we grow from a cult-favorite retail concept into a nationally recognized luxury consumer brand, we’re building a design team that fuses creative ingenuity with technical expertise to bring soulful, meaningful products to life.

The Role

We are looking for a details-obsessed, design-driven Product Developer to help lead our product development department. This is a unique opportunity to grow alongside a brand that blends heritage and innovation. If you love the idea of working with a team that believes in design with feeling, storytelling through visuals, and aesthetics that are both soulful and strategic - this opportunity is for you.

Projects will include leading the development of future collections from initial object ideation through production : creating technical drawings and CAD packages for factories, collaborating with founders on design direction, overseeing samples, running production meetings to ensure timelines are kept and traveling to manufacturing partners to oversee production and uphold Olive Ateliers’ quality standards. You’ll report to the Chief Merchandising Officer (CMO) and work closely with brand marketing and operations. This is a full-time, salary (exempt) role with significant potential for growth within the company. The position requires frequent international travel, averaging 3 or more months per year, to work directly with our manufacturing partners to develop products and ensure standards are achieved.
