About The Founder &Co.

The Founder & Co. is a modern menswear brand crafting essential garments that embody timeless style, functional elegance, and purposeful detail. We don’t chase trends—we refine the everyday. Our mission is to help men dress with clarity, confidence, and intention through a collection that is minimalist, intelligent, and built to last.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Lead Fashion Designer who can shape the visual and functional identity of our collections. You will be responsible for designing refined menswear staples—T-shirts, polos, shirts, trousers—with a singular perfect fit and intelligent variations in fabric weight, feel, flexibility, and subtle style elements. This is not about designing for fashion weeks. It’s about mastering the art of simplicity, purpose, and premium craft.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop menswear collections that align with our occasion-based product strategy (casual, smart casual, business casual).
• Own the full design process from concept to production: moodboards, tech packs, materials, fittings, and refinements.
• Collaborate closely with sourcing and production teams to ensure fabric choice, construction details, and finishes meet our quality standards.
• Innovate within constraints—working with a fixed fit, your design impact comes from thoughtful variations in texture, finish, trims, and styling.
• Translate the brand’s philosophy into garments that serve the customer’s lifestyle—functionally and emotionally.
• Contribute to brand storytelling through design decisions that reflect purpose, not decoration.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in menswear design, ideally with a focus on essentials, luxury basics, or minimalism.
• Strong technical knowledge of fabrics, fit, and garment construction.
• Proficiency in creating tech packs and communicating with manufacturers.
• A sharp eye for balance, restraint, and detail—your signature is subtlety, not statement.
• Experience working with international suppliers and managing production timelines is a plus.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and align designs with brand strategy and customer use cases.
