We pride ourselves on empowering women worldwide and being one of Australia's largest and most successful social media brands.

The Role

This is an exciting newly created role leading both our amazing Design & Buying teams at an exciting time for us

This role will play a critical part in shaping our product direction, ensuring that Showpo continues to deliver trend and commercially driven, high-quality collections that resonate with our customers. As a key decision-maker, you’ll manage the product lifecycle from concept to delivery, aligning with our brand identity while meeting business goals.

**Day to day, you will**:

- Lead, coach and mentor an incredible team who have a real thirst to learn
- Provide clear guidance on priorities, workflows, and timelines, ensuring team alignment with company goals
- Drive the creative vision for product collections, ensuring alignment with Showpo’s brand identity and customer profile
- Oversee the end-to-end product development process, from initial concepts to final production.
- Collaborate with the Merchandise Planning team to align designs and buying decisions with sales forecasts and inventory targets
- Ensure a cohesive approach to design and buying, maintaining a balanced mix of trend-driven (in collaboration with our Trend Forecaster) and evergreen styles
- Conduct regular reviews of product performance, identifying opportunities to improve and innovate
- Partner with Marketing and eCommerce teams to ensure product launches are supported with compelling campaigns.
- Work closely with the Head of Brand and other stakeholders to align product strategy with broader business objectives
- Approve final designs and product selections to ensure quality, market relevance, and profitability

**Who are we looking for?**:

- Experience in fashion design, buying, or similar leadership role, with a strong understanding of both creative and commercial processes.
- Demonstrated success in managing and mentoring teams in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent knowledge and passion for the fashion industry, trends, and market dynamics, including customer insights.
- Strong negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Proficiency in assortment planning, product lifecycle management, and vendor relations
- Ideally you will have worked within a similar organisation

**What's in it for you?**:

- Live for fashion? You’ll love working for Australia’s largest social media fashion brand that was founded locally and is expanding globally. The list is growing, but here are some of the things you will enjoy:

- Our embedded culture of Think Big, Get S**t Done and Have Fun gives everyone the ability to make a massive impact across the entire organisation. We are a fun team with a high-growth hustle
- 90% off our CEO's online business course
- Flexible working environment including work from home
- Huge staff discounts across Showpo
- Your own individual growth plan developed with your manager and tracked throughout your career with us
- Celebration is part of our core DNA with a range of social events throughout the year
- Dog friendly office, Breakfast Bar
- Education, Wellness and Lunch & Learn Programs - exclusive partnership with CBA offering discounts from wellness to finance to retail
- Company wide I S**t Rainbow Awards - Reward & Recognition Program - come and celebrate your colleagues with bubbles every Friday

At Showpo we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone can belong and be their authentic selves. We strive to craft a culture that reflects the diversity of our customer, where our differences make us stronger and help us become better humans. We celebrate our people and support them, ensuring we’re a workplace welcoming to all, where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. We are on a journey and sometimes might make mistakes, but we are committed to learning, growing and backing up these words with positive action.
