Full Job Description

Technical Designer & Production Manager

Full-Time | Lesley Evers

Lesley Evers is seeking an experienced, highly organized Technical Designer & Production Manager to lead the technical development and production execution of our collections.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how to take a garment from design concept through final production—and who brings equal strength in fit, construction, factory communication, and calendar management.

Working closely with our design team and manufacturing partners, you will ensure every style preserves its creative intent while meeting our standards for fit, quality, cost, and on-time delivery. Your work will directly affect customer satisfaction, return rates, inventory productivity, and the growth of the Lesley Evers brand.

Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Design and Fit

Create and maintain accurate, factory-ready tech packs, including measurements, construction details, BOMs, trims, artwork placement, and production notes
Translate design concepts and sketches into clear technical specifications that factories can execute consistently
Lead and document fit sessions from prototype through pre-production and final approval
Evaluate samples for fit, proportion, measurements, construction, workmanship, and consistency
Recommend pattern, grading, measurement, and construction changes that improve fit without compromising the design
Communicate concise, actionable fit comments and corrections to factories
Maintain accurate specifications and revision histories across all rounds of development
Identify recurring fit or construction problems and help establish standards that reduce returns and unnecessary sample iterations

Production and Factory Management

Own and maintain the production calendar, tracking every style from initial development through sampling, approval, bulk production, and delivery
Communicate directly with domestic and international factories and production partners
Set clear deadlines, monitor progress, and follow up consistently to keep production on schedule
Proactively identify risks involving timing, quality, materials, construction, or factory capacity and escalate them early
Review and approve strike-offs, lab dips, fabrics, trims, artwork placement, labels, packaging, and other production components
Troubleshoot production issues quickly and make practical decisions that balance design, quality, timing, and cost
Maintain organized records of tech packs, samples, approvals, fit comments, and production status
Help establish and enforce consistent quality-control standards across products and manufacturing partners

Product and Inventory Partnership

Partner with design and management to ensure products are technically sound, commercially viable, and appropriate for production
Provide input on production complexity, material usage, lead times, minimums, and manufacturing risk before orders are finalized
Support more disciplined production decisions by identifying styles, fabrics, or construction details that create avoidable cost, delays, quality problems, or returns
Use sales, return, fit, and customer-feedback data to recommend improvements to future production
Help develop repeatable blocks, grading standards, construction methods, and factory processes that improve consistency and reduce development time

Qualifications

4+ years of experience in technical design, apparel production, product development, or a closely related role
Strong knowledge of women’s garment construction, patternmaking, fit, measurements, grading, fabrics, and apparel manufacturing
Demonstrated experience creating detailed, professional tech packs
Experience managing products through sampling, pre-production, bulk production, and final delivery
Experience communicating directly with apparel factories, including international production partners
Strong fit intuition and the ability to diagnose and clearly communicate fit corrections
Excellent organizational and project-management skills
High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple styles, approvals, and deadlines simultaneously
Strong written communication skills, particularly when explaining technical requirements
Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and spreadsheets
Experience with apparel PLM, inventory, or production-management systems is a plus
Comfortable using AI and other modern tools to improve documentation, analysis, communication, and workflow efficiency
Comfortable working in a small, collaborative company where people take ownership and solve problems directly

The Ideal Candidate

You are equal parts technical expert, production owner, and product problem-solver.

You notice when a neckline is sitting a quarter-inch too high—and when a production deadline is about to slip. You can preserve a designer’s creative vision while giving a factory the exact information required to produce it successfully.

You are organized without being bureaucratic, direct without being abrasive, and persistent about follow-through. You enjoy improving systems, preventing problems before they become expensive, and creating clothing that customers feel confident wearing.

You have a strong appreciation for color, original prints, flattering silhouettes, and thoughtful construction. Most importantly, you care about achieving excellent fit and consistent execution—not simply moving styles through a calendar.

What Success Looks Like

Production milestones and deliveries are consistently met
Tech packs and factory communications are complete, clear, and accurate
Fit is more consistent across styles, sizes, and production runs
Sample rounds, avoidable errors, and last-minute production problems decline
Product-related returns and customer fit complaints improve
Management has clear, reliable visibility into production status and risks
Factories are held to consistent standards for quality and execution

About Lesley Evers

Lesley Evers is a California-based women’s clothing brand known for original prints, joyful color, flattering silhouettes, and distinctive, beautifully made clothing.

We are a growing independent brand with a hands-on, collaborative team and a close relationship with our customers. Design and fit are core to our business, and this role will have a meaningful influence on the quality, profitability, and continued growth of the company.

Position: Full-time
Department: Design & Production

To apply, please submit your résumé and a brief introduction describing your experience with technical design, fit, apparel production, and factory management. Please include examples of the product categories you have worked on and the systems or tools you have used.

Pay: $65,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
