You take a great deal of pride in your ability to operate with a high degree of organisation, speed, attention to detail and time management in line with the design calendar.
You're tech savvy, you embrace & immerse yourself in new technology, and know Adobe Illustrator like the back of your hand.
Your values and design aesthetic are aligned to ours - you're focussed on sustainability both personally and professionally, and you love nothing more than being part of a collaborative, supportive and nurturing team where everyone lends a hand to get the job done.
Who are you?
You are a perfect match with:
- Minimum 5 years' experience in a similar role
- Tertiary qualification in Fashion Design or related field (desired)
- Experience utilising design software including 3D design (desired) and adobe suite to creating high quality CADs and tech packs
- Extensive knowledge of garment construction, fabrications, and trims
- Exceptional organisation, attention to detail, prioritisation, time & quality management with the ability to seamlessly work to critical deadlines
- Ability to build strong relationships and communicate effectively (verbally, written and visually) within the team, across the business, and with our supply partners
- Ability to embrace collaboration and working together as one team
- Experience using WFX (desired) or similar PLM (essential)
In return we offer:
- Salary and benefits commensurate with experience
- Access to our generous annual profit share incentive scheme
- Genuine commitment to work life balance
- Highly collaborative, family centric and supportive work environment
- Market leading product discounts for you, your family & friends
- Your birthday off every year
- 2 days paid volunteer leave every year
