WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

To excel in our Apparel FBAT+Golf Design Director role, you must live and breathe the game-not only how it's played, but how it's felt, expressed, and evolved. The strongest designers in Jordan FBAT+Golf understand the sport as a worldwide cultural force: its icons, its emerging voices, its unspoken codes, and its constant reinvention. They study movement, mindset, and style with equal intensity. They observe how athletes carry

themselves, how communities influence performance, how the smallest details shape identity.

They honor the game's heritage while imagining its future. As our Design Director, Apparel Product Design in Jordan FBAT+Golf, you will create industry-leading, innovative designs, driving concepts from ideation through execution. You will sit at the forefront of defining what's next for Jordan FBAT+Golf, connecting emerging innovation, athlete insights, cultural signals, product exploration, and brand vision into ideas that move the organization forward. We value strategic problem-solvers who deliver measurable performance benefits matched with

iconic, emotionally resonant design.

You are the leader who elevates every room.

You push ideas to their full potential.

You bring clarity to ambiguity.

You navigate confidently across disciplines-trend discovery, sport science, line planning, storytelling, materials, color, graphics, and construction.

You stay connected to the communities shaping the game's next wave, and you translate that energy into design that is both culturally sharp and performance-driven.

You thrive in pace. You listen deeply. You respond decisively. You step into gaps instinctively.

You rally partners around a compelling vision with clarity and conviction.
