Product Designer - Caden Lane : Job Details

Caden Lane is on the hunt for a trend-driven, detail-loving Product Designer to help us dream up and bring to life our next must-have products for moms, babies, and beyond. If your camera roll is full of inspo screenshots, you know your way around a sourcing fair, and you can spot a fabric flaw from 10 feet away—you might be our person. 🧵🍼✨

This role is equal parts creative visionary and sourcing strategist. You'll play a key role in expanding our product categories, developing concept boards, curating seasonal collections, sourcing new manufacturers, and collaborating across teams to turn inspiration into a beautiful, high-quality reality.

What You'll Do:

• Lead design and development of new physical products—from nursery to lifestyle to accessories.
• Create inspiration decks, mood boards, and seasonal collection concepts in alignment with the brand aesthetic and market trends.
• Source and evaluate new manufacturers, vendors, and materials for both domestic and international production.
• Develop and manage tech packs, samples, prototypes, and testing processes with factories and vendors.
• Partner with the Creative and Marketing teams to ensure product stories translate seamlessly across channels.
• Track and manage timelines for development, sampling, revisions, and approvals—you're the glue between idea and launch.

What You'll Bring:

• 3–5+ years of experience in physical product design, ideally within baby/kids, lifestyle, textiles, or accessories.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing, materials, and sampling workflows.
• A killer eye for trends, patterns, and colors—and the skill to translate them into elevated, on-brand product concepts.
• Experience creating spec sheets, mood boards, and presentation decks.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills—you know how to manage vendors and a critical path like a pro

Bonus Points For:

• Have existing manufacturer or sourcing relationships in textiles, accessories, or baby goods.
• Are familiar with compliance standards for baby/children's products.
• Can sketch or mock up product ideas quickly to communicate concepts.
• Have graphic design skills—especially if you have experience with pattern or surface design (hello, custom prints!).
• Have a pulse on what's trending in both DTC and wholesale product design.

What We'll Bring:

We offer our employees more than just competitive compensation. Our team benefits include:

• Competitive salary with opportunities for performance-based incentives.
• Dynamic, collaborative founder-led company culture with a focus on innovation and creativity.
• Opportunity for career growth and professional development in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
