• Supporting catalogue and web teams to ensure product fit and technical details are represented accurately
• Occasionally visiting factories and suppliers when required

We're after someone who combines technical expertise with commercial awareness and a positive, proactive attitude.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience leading fit sessions confidently across multiple product categories
• Excellent knowledge of garment construction and quality standards
• Strong organisational and project management skills
• Experience working closely with suppliers and factories
• A commercial mindset with the ability to balance quality, speed and customer expectations
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to influence and collaborate across teams
• A flexible, hands-on attitude and willingness to get stuck in wherever needed
• Degree-level education (or equivalent experience)

What does our client offer?

They're a collaborative, ambitious and supportive team who genuinely care about creating great product and delivering an outstanding customer experience.

In return, they offer:

• A flexible 4-day working week
• Competitive salary package (equivalent full-time salary up to £55k)
• A varied and rewarding role with real ownership
• A friendly and supportive working environment
• The opportunity to play a key role in shaping quality and product standards

If you're ready to bring your technical expertise, commercial eye and passion for product to a business where your contribution truly matters - we'd love to hear from you.
