This is an exciting opportunity to own the full design journey — from initial concept and trend forecasting to customer presentations and final approval — while shaping products that customers love.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing seasonal slipper collections for multiple customers across UK high street and supermarket accounts
- Researching trends and consumer behaviour to create inspiring mood boards, colour palettes, and fabric directions
- Translating trends into commercially viable designs aligned with target price points
- Creating designs using strong CAD skills, supported by confident hand sketching
- Producing accurate technical drawings and detailed product specifications
- Collaborating closely with the Design Manager, product development, sourcing, account management, and wider design teams
- Presenting concepts and full ranges to customers at our office and at their Head Offices, confidently evolving designs based on feedback
- Managing multiple accounts and deadlines while maintaining quality, creativity, and commercial focus
- Communicating clearly and effectively with UK and China-based teams throughout the development process
- Travelling in the UK and overseas to meet customers and suppliers, source materials, conduct market research, and attend trade fairs and exhibitions
What We’re Looking For
- A commercially minded designer with a strong eye for trend and detail
- Excellent CAD and technical drawing skills, with the ability to hand sketch ideas
- Confident communicator who enjoys presenting and building customer relationships
- Highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple projects
- A passion for product, trend, and creating designs that sell
If you’re excited by trend-led design, customer collaboration, and seeing your products on the high street, we’d love to hear from you.
