About the Role

Pepper is seeking a detail-oriented Design Assistant to support the intimates, swimwear, and activewear design team on a part-time basis. This role involves turning approved designs into production-ready tech packs, maintaining linesheets and BOMs, and building material standards to streamline development.

Responsibilities

Turn approved seasonal sketches into tech packs by creating style folders, assigning style numbers, and building protoforms.
Build BOMs for new styles as part of tech pack setup.
Ensure every tech pack is complete and accurate, and submit it to the Designer for review and approval before handoff to Tech Design.
Maintain linesheets for seasons in active development, including style drops, new styles, and design edits.

Keep linesheets current with vendor updates.
Partner with the Designer to edit, update, and maintain linesheets once a season moves into development.
Support the consolidation and organization of materials across vendors.
Build and maintain Material Cheat Sheets and Libraries organized by category.
Help reduce material duplication, improve consistency across styles, and ease order minimum challenges.
Provide research and organization to support the Designer and Product Development teams.
Update BOMs with material and trim changes coming out of fittings.
Keep BOMs accurate and aligned with tech packs and linesheets.
Help organize and enter styles, materials, BOMs, colors, and other product information into PLM systems.
Make sure the PLM is populated consistently and accurately.
Attend in-person/virtual fittings and take live notes.
Update tech packs during or immediately after fittings with changes to construction, measurements, and design details.
Update protoforms with fit changes the same day, so the team is always working from current information.
