Someone proactive, organised, and excited by growthWhy join?

A genuine opportunity to make your mark in a scaling fashion brand
Real creative ownership and influence
Hybrid working (Fridays from home)
A collaborative, ambitious, and passionate team
Competitive benefits package including bonus, healthcare, generous holiday, and staff discountThis is a brilliant opportunity for a Senior Designer who wants to be part of a brand journey, not just a job.

If you're ready to bring fresh ideas, challenge creatively, and help shape the future of a growing fashion success story - we'd love to hear from you.
