Description

Product Developer | Performance Apparel | Manchester + Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to take true ownership of your categories in a performance-led brand that's redefining the industry. If you're ready to lead with confidence, solve problems at pace, and deliver high-quality product from concept to production - this is your moment.

You'll act as the vital link between design, suppliers, and leadership - combining creativity with technical rigour. You won't just support the process; you'll run it. From tech pack to ex-factory, this is your chance to treat your categories like a brand within a brand.

And in return? You'll join a company that truly values your contribution - offering a dynamic environment, meaningful responsibility, and a benefits package that supports your life both in and out of work.

What You'll Own:

  • Drive Your Categories - Take the lead on product development across men's, women's, and junior's - managing everything from concept through to final production, with full oversight on cost, quality, and delivery

  • Lead the Fit Process - Own fit sessions and garment reviews, making confident, commercial decisions that keep the range sharp and consistent

  • Keep Things Moving - Take charge of the critical path, managing timelines, seal samples, tech packs, and lab dips to ensure nothing slips

  • Build Supplier Partnerships - Communicate clearly and consistently with global suppliers, chasing costs and samples, resolving issues, and maintaining strong working relationships

  • Own Every Sample - Oversee every stage of sampling, from proto to PPS, ensuring all products meet fit and quality standards before sign-off

  • Get Technical - Deliver precise technical and construction comments; ensure accuracy across size charts, grading, and build specs

  • Champion Quality & Compliance - Conduct garment and fabric testing, monitor compliance, and ensure every product meets required safety and labelling regulations

  • Protect the Margin - Collaborate with sourcing to manage open-costing, engineer for efficiency, and make smart fabric and trim choices

  • Fuel Innovation - Offer hands-on technical input into new concepts and construction ideas - helping push the product forward every season

  • Support Production Success - Assist with bulk QC checks and help maintain consistency from development to delivery

  • Lead by Example - Mentor junior team members through your expertise, attitude, and ownership mindset
