FIGS is seeking a Senior Designer to lead design across Lounge, Outerwear and FIGS Pro, our polished, professional ready-to-wear collection for healthcare providers. This role blends elevated, style-forward design with functional performance - delivering tailored wovens, refined knits, lab coats, and technical outerwear that embody FIGS PRO’s ethos: style supported by utility, comfort, and thoughtful function. You will translate brand DNA into sophisticated, capsule-worthy pieces that complement the broader FIGS ecosystem while meeting the real needs of HCPs in professional settings.

Reporting to the VP of Concept & Design, you will contribute to seasonal creative direction, execute premium product, and shape the future of FIGS Pro and Outerwear as signature pillars of the brand.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design for Lounge (sweatshirting), Outerwear (technical rainwear, insulation, fleece) and FIGS PRO (tailored wovens, sweater knits, lab coats, polished ready-to-wear pieces), delivering refined, modern, style‑forward collections grounded in HCP needs.
• Bring the FIGS Pro ethos to life, designing fashion‑led, timeless yet trend-aware capsule pieces that integrate effortlessly with the broader FIGS wardrobe.
• Partner with the VP of Concept & Design to shape seasonal concepts, narratives, and professional‑wear strategy.

• Create premium design packages - technical sketches, construction details, and spec documentation - with clarity and precision.
• Collaborate with Merchandising, Raw Materials, Product Development, and to drive concept‑to‑creation consistency and storytelling impact.
• Lead fittings for these categories and provide thoughtful, solution-oriented feedback to ensure exceptional fit, comfort, and quality.
• Contribute to color, material, and trim direction in partnership with Raw Materials to meet quality, cost, and calendar goals.
• Manage design calendars, milestones, and handoffs to keep multiple projects on track and aligned.
• Mentor and inspire junior designers, fostering creativity, curiosity, and collaboration across the team.
• Partner with cross-category design teams to ensure a cohesive, elevated brand experience across all apparel lines.
