  • Maintain our design and brand standards as we grow into new markets, ad platforms, partnerships, and product verticals

What you bring to the table

  • Design chops. Starting off with the obvious here, but we need an AD who has mastered their skill to design some eye-catching work.
  • Photoshoot experience. We have a lot of product launches, which means we do a lot of photoshoots. We need someone with the eye and the confidence of a seasoned photoshoot floor commander.
  • Leadership qualities. You will be responsible for a team of talented designers and creators who you can mold to your will (that’s a villainous, creepy way of saying we want you to manage a team)
  • A solid communicator with the ability to to present work in an effective and comprehensive manner, to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, and collaborative environment. We’re constantly shouting ideas at each other and testing things on the fly. This office is a lot of fun, and speed always wins.

  • Autonomy. If you want to do something fun, do it.
  • We have a TMNT arcade game, sometimes we watch stuff like Star Wars or The Sandlot while we work, and we have a lifetime supply of Big League Chew in the office

About RSVLTS

There’s a serious demand for fun clothing based on sports and pop culture. The issue is that most of the apparel in this realm is unlicensed, leading to low production quality. RSVLTS, founded in Hoboken, New Jersey, turned a crushing cease and desist from a major movie studio into a licensing partnership. That one partnership was then spun into partnerships with all major movie studios, the WWE, NASA, and more. If you can think of it, we probably have it. Combining officially licensed designs with high-quality clothing, we’ve created a uniquely rad concept that our rabid, growing fanbase can’t buy up fast enough.
