Who You’ll Work With 

You will join the Jordan 3D Design Studio, reporting to the Sr. Director of 3D Excellence with a dotted line into our Sr. Director of Apparel Excellence and partnering closely with Sport Apparel Design, Apparel Development, Materials, and Innovation. You will also collaborate with the 3D Footwear team to support connected head-to-toe storytelling, shared digital standards, and scalable asset libraries. You will serve as the primary 3D resource for Sport apparel as capability and coverage expand, supported by cross-category peers and shared studio resources. 

Who We Are Looking For 

We are seeking an Expert 3D Apparel Designer to lead digital garment creation within Jordan’s Sport category. This role blends advanced digital garment craft, performance design literacy, and modern workflow innovation. 

You bring strong intuition around proportion, movement, fit, and construction, paired with the technical capability to translate early creative input into expressive, high-fidelity digital garments. You work confidently between rapid exploration and precise refinement, simulate with purpose, and help accelerate clarity and decision-making across teams. 

You also help build the digital foundation: reusable base garments, avatar and motion libraries, consistent simulation standards, and connected head-to-toe workflows that scale across seasons. 

Qualifications 

Bachelor's Degree in Apparel Design, Digital Fashion, Industrial Design or relevant design degree or a combination of relevant education, experience, and training 

7+ years of blended digital and physical apparel creation experience, including hands-on garment construction and 3D simulation workflows 

Advanced proficiency in CLO, Browzwear, or Style3D with strong rendering and visualization fluency 

Understanding of pattern logic, sewing construction, and material behavior in motion 

Portfolio demonstrating drape accuracy, range of exploration, and digital execution quality 

Experience collaborating with design, development, materials, and pattern/TD partners 

Familiarity with USD workflows or interest in building scalable digital garment libraries 

Ability to operate in evolving systems and document repeatable workflows 

Comfort exploring emerging tools, including AI-assisted ideation and visualization were additive to speed and clarity 

General knowledge of general 3D best practices, and experience with various other 3D programs a plus 

What You’ll Work On 

You will translate athlete-informed creative direction into precise digital apparel, accelerating clarity, iteration, and alignment across the Jordan Sport offense. 

Lead 3D garment creation from early studies to refined simulations 

Model and simulate performance garments to express drape, structure, and movement intent 

Render and animate to communicate material behavior, fit, and performance narrative 

Build and maintain reusable garment blocks, avatar/pose sets, and simulation standards 

Create structured workflows that move concepts toward build-ready digital assets 

Partner with development and TD to support pattern accuracy and physical validation 

Contribute USD-ready apparel assets and naming/metadata conventions 

Partner with footwear 3D to shape unified digital head-to-toe visual strategies 

Explore AI-assisted workflows responsibly to support early ideation and iteration speed 

Share methods and tools that raise digital craft across the studio 

Why This Matters 

This role shapes how Jordan creates performance apparel in 3D. You sharpen early ideas, build reusable systems, and accelerate the clarity and pace of concept-to-validation workflows, strengthening Jordan’s head-to-toe creation capability for seasons to come.
