You will collaborate daily with Designers, Product Developers, Atelier Designers, and the wider Assortment and Buying teams. You’ll be part of a design team of around 15 within a broader group of approximately 25 colleagues, working closely to shape a cohesive knitwear offer. In this collaborative environment, you’ll share ideas, build on team expertise, and work with internal partners and external suppliers to develop high-quality, commercially relevant products from concept through to final delivery.
