Senior Denim Designer, Walmart Brands

Create original denim designs for Walmart's Private Label Brands, managing the product lifecycle from development through production with a focus on fit, fabric, finish, and costing. Research retail marketplaces and competitors to identify trends and product opportunities, then plan lines according to style plans and sales needs. Develop fabrics, wash palettes, and styling details while collaborating daily with Walmart designers and suppliers to ensure execution meets cost targets. Attend fittings, provide feedback to technical design, and organize sample reviews with cross-functional partners including sales, production, and marketing. Manage overseas communication with sample facilities and maintain collateral such as sketches, CADs, and line sheets. Prioritize deadlines and adapt to new programs or technologies as needed.
