Freelance Design Assistant - Knits and Sweaters

At Everlane, we want the right choice to be as easy as putting on a great T-shirt. That’s why we partner with ethical factories around the world. Work with high-quality and more sustainably sourced materials. And share the true cost of every product we make. But there's a lot more work to be done, and we're excited to be growing a team of motivated humans that are up for the challenge.

Everlane is currently looking to fill a freelance Design Assistant level position that will focus on Mens and Womens Cut and Sew Knits and Sweaters. You must be passionate, enthusiastic, and team-oriented, with an obsessive eye for detail.

Our brand ethos and design aesthetic is one of purity and simplicity; less is more. Our vision is to create perfect and timeless wardrobe pieces. We rely on a maniacal editing process to get these essential pieces just right, from fabric to fit, to drape and construction.

The ideal candidate graduated from a competitive design school and has 2+ years experience working at medium to large sized apparel brands, specializing in cut and sew and or sweater knits. 

This is a freelance hybrid role based at our San Francisco office headquarters in the Mission neighborhood on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
