Description

Senior Garment Technologist | Womens Fashion | Premium Brand | £38,000 - £48,000

The Brand

This is a well-established, design-led womenswear brand with over a decade of consistent growth and success. Operating across multiple UK retail locations, alongside a strong e-commerce platform and an impressive portfolio of wholesale partners, the business has built a reputation as a trusted and credible name within the premium high street space.

Positioned at a mid-to-premium price point, the focus is simple: exceptional quality, considered design, and product that delivers real value to the customer. Every collection is built with intention-balancing elevated aesthetics with commercial accessibility.

It's a brand that moves with pace. With frequent drops, short lead times, and a reactive trading model, the product function is dynamic and high-volume. Collections are signed off every 6-8 weeks, with weekly trading and OTB decisions requiring a team that can think both strategically and reactively.
