(Full or Part-Time)

North West England | Hybrid Working | Premium womenswear brand

£ Competitive plus benefits

Are you a womenswear designer who lives and breathes fashion and unique stylish product?

Do you get excited by spotting a trend before everyone else, creating beautiful collections with a clear point of view, and seeing your ideas come to life from initial sketch through to launch?

We're looking for an experienced Senior Designer to take ownership of the womenswear vision for a growing premium womenswear brand based in the North West of England

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a much-loved brand, creating stylish, commercially successful collections that sit at the premium end of the market.

And because we know great designers don't always fit the traditional 5-day week, we're open to part-time applications.

The Opportunity

This isn't a role where you'll simply hand over designs and move on.

You'll own the entire design journey - from inspiration and concept creation through to product launches and seasonal sign-off. Working closely with internal stakeholders, you'll play a key role in defining what the brand stands for season after season.

You'll have the freedom to bring fresh ideas, challenge convention and create product that customers genuinely want to wear.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning the womenswear design direction and seasonal vision
• Identifying emerging trends, colours, fabrics and product opportunities
• Creating inspirational mood boards, concepts and seasonal stories
• Developing colour palettes, print direction and trim concepts
• Designing commercially successful collections with a premium aesthetic
• Presenting concepts and seasonal ranges to key stakeholders
• Working cross-functionally to ensure collections launch successfully
• Helping shape the long-term product and brand strategy

About You

You'll be an experienced Womenswear Designer or Senior Designer with a strong premium product background and a genuine passion for creating beautiful product.

You'll bring:

• Significant womenswear design experience
• A strong portfolio showcasing premium product
• Excellent trend forecasting and product development skills
• A clear design handwriting and creative point of view
• Experience working across seasonal critical paths
• Confidence presenting ideas and influencing stakeholders
• Strong Adobe Illustrator skills
• Experience using PLM systems
• CLO 3D experience would be advantageous

The Culture

Collaboration is at the heart of everything.

This is a business where great product matters.

A business where design has a genuine voice.

And a business where you'll be trusted to make an impact from day one.

Why Join?

• Flexible part-time opportunity
• Hybrid working model
• Significant influence over the womenswear category
• Highly collaborative culture
• Opportunity to shape a premium brand
• Competitive salary dependent on experience
• Bonus scheme

If you're a product-obsessed womenswear designer with a passion for premium fashion-led collections and want the opportunity to leave your mark on a growing brand, we'd love to hear from you.
