Job Description Job Description

Employment Status: Full-Time, Benefits Eligible

Location: On-Site at NEW Gymreapers' HQ in Nampa, ID (20 mins outside of Boise, ID)

Reports To: Director of Product and Development

About the Role:

Gymreapers is looking for a Product Developer / Designer who has personally owned both halves of the job, the design and the development. This is not a designer who hands concepts to a developer, and it's not a developer who waits on someone else's designs. You'll take softgoods and accessories from a sketch on day one all the way to a production-ready product. Products could include anything from belts, straps, wraps, bags, training gear, or apparel.

You'll design product athletes love, build the tech packs that make it real, negotiate it through our overseas factories, and shepherd it through sampling to production. You'll partner with sourcing, creative, marketing, and our existing in-house product team, but the design and development belong to you.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the development process from concept through production, ensuring products meet our standards for quality, fit, and construction
Turn market, competitor, and athlete insight into concepts, sketches, and design direction
Identify opportunities for innovation across new and existing categories
Participate in product ideation and roadmap development
Support future category expansion initiatives
Design for performance, durability, fit, aesthetics, and brand alignment
Build detailed tech packs (construction details, points of measure, material and hardware callouts) and own BOMs and cost breakdowns (CBDs)
Select materials and hardware (webbing, nylon, neoprene, foam, leather, textiles, buckles, trims) with cost and manufacturability in mind
Manage the day-to-day development and sampling of assigned projects, including hands-on sample rounds and fit sessions
Work cross-functionally with merchandising and costing teams to take concepts to final product, and manage production handoff with accurate specs
Own development timelines and the calendar from concept to handoff, milestones, prototype rounds, WIPs, and material lead times
Flag delays and risks early and keep development and launch schedules current
Ability to manage multiple projects across multiple seasons at a time

What We're Looking For:

A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, multitasks, and reacts quickly
Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills
A genuine passion for strength, fitness, and performance gear
Strong knowledge of the fitness industry and training products
Has personally owned both the design and the development of products brought to market (this is the core of the role)
A portfolio or track record that shows products taken from concept sketch through to production
Strong sewn-product / cut-and-sew construction knowledge and the ability to build clear, production-ready tech packs
Solid materials and hardware fluency
Comfortable negotiating cost, MOQs, and timelines directly with overseas factories, with an eye on margin
Strong Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
2+ years in softgoods development and design: apparel, accessories, sporting goods, tactical gear, bags/packs, or consumer products

Nice to Have:

CAD/3D tools (Fusion 360, Blender, Clo3D)
PLM, BOM, and cost-sheet experience a plus

Benefits/Perks:

Competitive Pay
Company paid holidays
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Gymreapers on-site gym!
Newly renovated HQ!
401(k) with up to a 4% employer match
Life Flight Program, Voluntary
