We are looking for a Designer for Women's Bottoms (Icons, Fashion, Non-Denim, Outerwear) who brings a creative point of view, deep technical mastery, and a sharp awareness of contemporary and emerging trends. Reporting to the Senior Designer, you will blend Levi's iconic heritage with modern, fashion‑leading ideas—moving the brand forward while staying rooted in what makes Levi's timeless. You are confident in your design thinking, and polished concepts, sketches, and research. You will contribute fresh perspective across multiple categories: a focus in non-denim woven bottoms, and a supplement of denim focus in 501, trend-first fashion bottoms and trucker fits, and more.

• Partner with Merchandising, Product Development, and Sourcing to meet seasonal timelines, cost targets, and assortment goals.
• Create polished Illustrator sketches, flats, and presentation assets that reflect the team's elevated style standards.
• Build tech packs and maintain accurate PLM data, including bills of material.
• Manage lab dips and trim development.
• Collaborate with Senior Designer on seasonal Nondenim fabric and seasonal color palettes
• Develop authentic and compelling denim washes for Fashion and Icon ranges.
• Maintain strong cross‑functional relationships to ensure products meet aesthetic, quality, and profitability goals.

About You

• 5+ years of design experience with relevant categories (denim, bottoms and/or outerwear) with demonstrated ownership of seasonal work.
• Create stylized, expressive sketches that reflect movement, proportion, and elevated visual storytelling.
• Experience with garment construction, patternmaking, and product development workflows, allowing you to deliver clean, production-ready design assets.
• Demonstrated strength in market, runway, archival, and competitor research, with the ability to translate insights into brand-relevant ideas.
• Sharp design aesthetic and a well‑articulated point of view—balancing trend-forward thinking with brand alignment and consumer relevance.
