Senior Product Designer Luxury Gentlemen Accessories WE

Disclaimer

This position is advertised by ZenART Supplies (ECOMTRADE Ltd) on behalf of our partner company, Scriveiner. The role is specifically within the premium/luxury gentleman’s accessories category in which Scriveiner operates.

Scriveiner is a multi-award-winning affordable luxury men’s accessories brand built on British design, precision engineering, and uncompromising quality. Our awards include the King’s Award for Enterprise, the UK’s most prestigious business honour, and six product design awards. We are founder‑led, highly profitable, and growing fast.

We are now expanding beyond writing instruments into a broader world of gentleman’s accessories: leather goods, notebooks, pen accessories, and beyond. We need a designer who can make that expansion feel unmistakably Scriveiner.

Scriveiner’s design language currently lives almost entirely within writing instruments. We have the awards, the quality reputation, and the customer trust to expand. However, we do not yet have a designer with the authority and capability to carry that design DNA into new categories with integrity.

That is the creative problem this role exists to solve. You will define what Scriveiner looks and feels like beyond pens and the decisions you make in the first 12 months will shape the brand’s design direction for years to come.

The most important thing about this role is what you create. We are looking for a Senior Product Designer who is hands‑on through the entire design‑to‑production process: from defining a product’s look, feel, and material story through to approved samples, factory‑executable specifications, and a product that arrives looking and feeling exactly as it should.

You will work within a product development framework, stage gates, pipeline cadences, handoff processes that exist to protect the quality of your work and the reliability of launches. Your job is not to build that framework. Your job is to create products that justify it.

We are looking for someone who has operated as the sole product development owner in a small, fast‑moving premium consumer goods business – the kind of person who had to handle the design direction, factory communication, costing, and pipeline management themselves because there was no one else. These people tend to have come from small premium DTC brands, accessories start‑ups, or been the first product hire at a growing business that moved fast and expected a lot.

We recognise that the full combination of deep design instinct and genuine operational discipline is rare. If it describes you accurately, we very much want to hear from you.

• A live 12–24 month product roadmap with clear stage gates, risk flags, owners, costs, and target launch windows
• A stage‑gate process that enforces discipline without bureaucracy, implemented in Notion and embedded in team cadences
• Definition and enforcement of ‘handoff‑ready’ standards so channel teams can execute launches without ambiguity

• Full design authority for new product categories: CMF, proportions, weight, tactile quality, packaging and gifting experience
• Factory‑executable specifications: dimensions, tolerances, materials, finishes, acceptance criteria
• Sample assessment and iteration management – decisive, written, measurable feedback that drives progress

• Costing feasibility from the earliest stage: target factory cost, margin awareness, MOQs, lead times, risk flags
• QC plans, inspection criteria, and defect standards for each product category
• Complete handoff packs that give channel teams everything needed to execute a launch without returning to product

• Templates and standards: product briefs, spec sheets, sample feedback formats, QC plans, handoff packs
• Governance cadences: weekly pipeline review, monthly quality and CX feedback loop, quarterly roadmap refresh
• A closed feedback loop from CX and returns data back into product improvements

• Products that feel unmistakably Scriveiner premium, coherent, and distinctive across categories…
