The hallways are filled with everything innovative and ingenious — from dresses to duvets, boots to bakeware, and loads of mannequins, decked out in the most stylish offerings of the season.

Kohl’s Product Development Associates get to manage all aspects of Kohl’s private brand development, including Sonoma LIFE+style™, Croft & Barrow®, apt. 9®, First Moments®, SO, Urban Pipeline® and Tek Gear®. Plus, they get the opportunity to develop products for some of the most innovative exclusive brand partnerships in retail, including Simply Vera Vera Wang, Food Network™, ELLE® and Tony Hawk®.

Our Associates make style come alive. They design all aspects of these brands, including color, pattern, texture and silhouette, as well as develop technical product specifications, select manufacturers, oversee quality, and help tie in strong in-store presentation and marketing plans.

Product Development is constantly looking through the eyes of Kohl’s customers, developing new products that will allow them to fill their closets and home with high style at great quality and an affordable price.
