Term: Roles are typically 6 to 12-month W2 contract assignments.
Location & Hybrid Schedule: Candidates must be local to Beaverton, Oregon (97005) to support a hybrid schedule. Remote-only applicants will not be considered.

• Trend & Cultural Research: Conduct in-depth trend and color research across sport, fashion, art, and global culture to gather market insights, interpret consumer behavior, and directly inform seasonal color decisions.
• Design Communication: Communicate design intent clearly and visually by building compelling mood boards, digital CADs, and presentations. Participate in presenting seasonal color proposals to both internal and external audiences.
• Team Support: Act as an internal subject matter expert, supporting cross-functional design partners with color technology expertise outside your primary assigned workload when business needs arise.

Qualifications:

• Industry Experience: Proven experience in color design, apparel design, footwear design, or equivalent performance/textile-heavy design industries.
• Technical Design Skills: High proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Keynote to execute professional digital CADs and visual presentations.
• Color Technology Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge of color science, material behaviors, dyes, textile finishes, and industrial color achievability across manufacturing processes.
• Trend & Insight Translation: Demonstrated passion for trend research, with a proven ability to gather cultural, art, and market insights and interpret them into commercial consumer products.
• Organizational Skills: Highly organized with the professional ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintain tight documentation pipelines, and navigate corporate deadlines.
• Communication: Clear and compelling communicator, both verbally and visually, when presenting concepts within cross-functional, highly matrixed settings.

Preferred Qualifications ("Nice-to-Haves")

• Dual-domain experience developing color palettes across both footwear and apparel product lines.
• Advanced understanding of how performance vs. lifestyle materials impact dye load and color replication.
