Ready to design the next big thing in womenswear?

We're partnering with an exciting, fast-growing fashion brand that's making serious waves in the industry. Known for its bold handwriting, inclusive approach, and loyal global customer base, this female-founded business is entering a huge phase of growth - and they're looking for an exceptional Senior Fashion Designer to help shape what's next.

This is not your average design role.

It's an opportunity to take real ownership, influence creative direction, and bring fresh energy to a brand that champions confidence, individuality, and feel-good dressing.

If you're commercially sharp, creatively driven, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where ideas turn into product quickly - this could be the role for you.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading the design and development of seasonal collections across multiple product categories
• Driving fresh creative concepts while staying true to brand DNA
• Translating trends, customer insight, and market opportunities into standout product
• Creating CADs, tech packs, prints, and embroidery concepts
• Managing the full design process from concept through to fit and final sign-off
• Working closely with suppliers on fabrics, trims, and product innovation
• Collaborating with buying, merchandising, production, and garment tech teams
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Taking inspiration from global trends, competitors, and customer behaviours

What we're looking for:

• Significant experience in womenswear design within a fashion brand or retailer
• Strong commercial handwriting with an eye for print, colour, shape, and detail
• Proven success delivering commercially strong collections in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent CAD and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop skills
• Strong garment construction and fabric knowledge
• Experience working directly with international suppliers
• A confident creative who can balance innovation with wearability
• Someone proactive, organised, and excited by growth

Why join?

• A genuine opportunity to make your mark in a scaling fashion brand
• Real creative ownership and influence
• Hybrid working (Fridays from home)
• A collaborative, ambitious, and passionate team
• Competitive benefits package including bonus, healthcare, generous holiday, and staff discount

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Senior Designer who wants to be part of a brand journey, not just a job.

If you're ready to bring fresh ideas, challenge creatively, and help shape the future of a growing fashion success story - we'd love to hear from you.
