Job Description

Shape the future of women’s knit-driven sportswear for Scotch & Soda, the Amsterdam-born contemporary brand known for its expressive styling and globally inspired perspective. We are seeking a creatively driven Associate Women’s Sportswear Designer with a strong focus on cut-and-sew knits to contribute to product with international reach and distinctive point of view.

Reporting to the Design Director, you will play a hands-on role in developing seasonal knit collections — from concept and fabric direction through final production approval. This role centers on elevated jersey and novelty knit tops, knit dresses, and soft separates, with emphasis on silhouette, fabrication, wash development, and construction detail.

You will collaborate cross-functionally with Technical Design, Merchandising, Sourcing, and global production partners to ensure each collection reflects the brand’s creative DNA while delivering commercial impact. This position offers meaningful exposure to the full design lifecycle within a fast-paced, internationally connected environment.

The ideal candidate brings strong knowledge of knit fabric behavior, drape, stretch, recovery, and wash treatments, along with a passion for contemporary womenswear.

Key Responsibilities

· Contribute to the development of seasonal collections with a strong focus on cut-and-sew knit categories, including jersey tops, knit dresses, fleece, and soft layering pieces. · Translate creative direction into production-ready CADs, detailed tech packs, and knit specification packages, ensuring clarity across construction, seam finishes, trims, and wash techniques. · Partner with the Design Director to support silhouette refinement, proportion development, and knit category expansion across tops and dresses. · Conduct and own knit fabric research, identifying elevated jerseys, specialty knits, rib constructions, fleece programs, garment dye techniques, and wash treatments that drive seasonal

direction. · Collaborate closely with Technical Design during fit sessions to ensure precision in stretch performance, drape, recovery, and garment balance. · Work cross-functionally with Sourcing and Production to validate knit fabric feasibility, costing, yield, and development timelines across global vendors. · Support seasonal color development and wash strategies, ensuring consistency in dye processes and finishing treatments. · Maintain organized seasonal documentation and digital archives, ensuring smooth workflow from proto through final production. · Manage multiple knit categories within the seasonal calendar, balancing creative exploration with commercial execution. · Leverage advanced AI-driven design tools, including Straight Lines AI, to support concept development, category exploration, and workflow optimization. Mamiye Brothers is an early adopter and industry pioneer in integrating AI into the fashion design process, using technology to enhance creativity, accelerate development, and drive innovation responsibly.
