FOOTWEAR DESIGNER & DEVELOPER

Sports & Performance (m/f/d) | Full-time | Salzburg, Austria

Are You Passionate About Sports and Footwear?

Bevaform is an owner-managed international footwear company based in Salzburg, Austria. Together with our worldwide production partners, we create footwear for major European retailers – from the first idea through design and development to commercial production.

For our small and experienced development team, we are looking for someone with a particular passion for Sports & Performance Footwear.

Your Tasks

• Create and develop new footwear and design concepts
• Work on the creative and technical aspects of the development process
• Create and maintain designs and tech packs, including technical drawings, patterns, color CADs and material maps
• Research and analyze market needs, competitor products, new materials and technologies
• Turn creative concepts into technically and commercially viable products, considering design, performance, costing and production requirements
• Review and optimize samples regarding design, fit, quality, manufacturability and cost
• Work closely with our development and production teams in Asia
• Monitor development timelines and proactively address delays or deviations
• Contribute to collections, product concepts and presentations for our customers

Your Profile

• Education in product design, footwear design/development or a comparable field, combined with several years of professional experience in the footwear industry
• Genuine passion for footwear, sports, design and product creation
• Strong eye for design, proportions, colors, materials and trends
• Good technical knowledge of footwear construction, materials, pattern making, soles and fitting; basic knowledge of footwear testing is an advantage
• Ability to combine creative thinking with technical understanding and commercial awareness
• Adobe Illustrator skills; experience with 3D software such as Rhino is a plus
• Very good English skills; German language skills are an advantage but not a requirement
• Structured, independent and solution-oriented way of working with a hands-on mindset
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects

Why Bevaform?

As part of our small, hands-on development team, you will work directly with our Head of Design & Development and can follow your ideas from the first sketch through design, sampling and development to the finished shoe.

Our size is one of our strengths: short decision paths, real creative freedom, close teamwork and direct collaboration with our international production partners mean that ideas can quickly become real products.

You get the opportunity to design, develop, test, improve and see the final result of your work – while being part of an experienced team rather than working on your own.

We offer an international working environment, flexible working hours, home-office options, short Fridays, collective accident insurance, our own in-house gym and free parking.

Salary:

We offer an attractive and fair compensation package based on your experience and qualifications, in full compliance with all applicable statutory and collective agreement requirements.

Sounds Like You?

We'd love to meet you and see your portfolio of footwear, designs and products you have worked on.
