Role summary

This role owns new product development from concept to market-readiness, with a strong emphasis on identifying trends from social media and TikTok. The Product Development Designer will design jewelry, charms, and accessories, and will be responsible for defining product execution plans, providing precise specifications to production, and problem-solving to ensure products are ready for sale. The position requires comfort with providing exact details and working asynchronously, with a portfolio of previous product designs as a key requirement. Experience with DTC/Shopify, AI rendering, and production teams are preferred.

What the job is

You own new products from idea to ready-to-sell.

You stay tapped into trends and bring your own ideas. You design the product when needed, and you give production clear sizes, exact details, and designs so they can make samples and finish it. Sometimes the idea needs no new design, just a clear plan for how we bring it to market, and you discuss with the production team what the possibilities and limitations are. Our production team is strong, so full tech packs are often not needed. If something is unclear and slowing them down, you clear it.

(We'll cover product-page work with our designer and UI/UX after a strong trial.)

Must-haves

Very tapped into trends, social media, and TikTok (most of our best product ideas come from what we see online)
Can design jewelry, charms, and accessories, or other product ideas we decide to bring to life
Can take a product idea that needs little or no new design (like personalized products), figure out with production how we should execute it, and problem-solve until it's ready to sell
Portfolio with previous product designs (jewelry and other)
Comfortable giving exact sizes and details
Moves fast and follows up without being chased
Good written English for async work with the team

Nice-to-haves

DTC / Shopify product experience
AI-native: can make quick renders and mockups with AI
Worked with a production team before
Experience with tech packs (helpful when needed; full tech packs are often not required here)

Pay, hours, location

Remote, flexible hours, about full-time (around 35–40 hrs/week), more or less as we need
Daily overlap with our morning or afternoon work hours (CET), so we can talk and clear things with no delay
Hourly pay: $20/hr USD, open to negotiate based on the level of your application
Big bonuses on top (can more than double your monthly pay) for shipping products fast and for completing products that end up doing well
