About Summit Golf Brands

Summit Golf Brands designs and sources high-end golf apparel and sportswear sold online and at leading country clubs and resorts worldwide. Our brands are carried at over 3,000 accounts across 25+ countries. We build product that lives at the intersection of performance, style, and craft, and the creative work behind it matters deeply to us.

About the Role

We are looking for a true creative. Someone with a sketchbook full of ideas, a sharp eye for what looks good on a garment, and the technical skills to take a concept from brief to final art. This person will touch everything from screen print graphics and embroidery applications to digital assets for social and email, working across multiple brands each with their own distinct aesthetic.

If you are someone who hears a rough idea and comes back with something better than anyone expected, we want to meet you.

This position is open to full time or part time depending on the candidate, and can be based in our New York office four days a week or performed remotely.
