The Lounge team is growing! We are looking for a Product Developer to join our rapidly growing business. Since 2015 Lounge has grown from an eCommerce underwear brand designed to bless women with Comfort Made Sexy, into an omnichannel modern fashion house inspired to make women feel empowered, beautiful, sexy, and comfortable in their skin. As a Product Developer, you will help our product team continually develop high‑quality garments that look incredible and fit all of our consumers perfectly.

- Liaise clearly and professionally with suppliers, communicating fit‑trial feedback, product‑development plans, and more.

- Join our journey in pushing sustainability within our product team – suggesting design changes and advising on suitable substitute fabrics, components, and production plans.
- Bring experience within lingerie and swimwear garments, with knowledge of construction, pattern, and grading across different materials and fabrications.
- Work alongside our Buying/Merchandising Team to adhere to internal critical paths and supplier communications, ensuring business needs and product‑development plans are met efficiently.
- Work from the office 4 days out of 5 – our HQ is based in Solihull, Birmingham.
