Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Garment Technologist to lead knitwear and swimwear across Womenswear, Childrenswear and Baby, from first sample to sealed production approval. You’ll combine expert knitwear knowledge with a sharp eye for fit and quality, leading your team and partnering with product teams and suppliers in creating brilliant product for our customers.
Location: 3-4 days per week at our North Acton office, the rest WFH.
This is a 12 Month Maternity Cover role. Ideally looking for a February 2027 start date.
How We Lead At Boden
- Being a manager at Boden is about giving people clarity, backing them properly, and helping them do their best work.
- You make things make sense. You take big ideas and turn them into clear priorities, so people know what they’re doing and (most importantly) why it matters.
- Your communication is clear and open – you listen and you don’t overcomplicate things.
- You take responsibility. When big decisions need to be made, you make them. When things change, you adapt. And when things don’t go to plan, you own it and move things forward.
- You stay close to what matters – our customer, our brand and our goals – using that to guide decisions and keep teams aligned.
- Most importantly, you build a team people actually want to be a part of – where people feel trusted, supported and able to grow.
What You Will Do
- Own the technical development of knitwear and swimwear from first sample to sealed approval.
- Lead fit sessions and give suppliers clear, commercially minded feedback.
- Assess yarns, gauges, stitch structures, trims and construction, flagging performance and compliance risks early.
- Keep approvals on track, escalating issues and recommending practical solutions.
