Stylish, grounded, uplifting – these values live through everything we do hout the collaboration, honesty and friendship between our teams, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We curate a world of beauty that’s ethical, inclusive – and importantly – good fun. We inspire you to live your best life. We are Boden.
** Overview
* * We're looking for a Senior Trend Forecaster to help define what's next for Boden.

Reporting to the Head of Creative Concept, you'll identify emerging fashion, lifestyle and cultural movements, turning insight into inspiring concepts, stories and creative worlds that influence collections, campaigns, content and customer experience.

This is far more than a traditional trend forecasting role. You'll explore fashion, culture, travel, design, media and consumer behaviour to uncover what's next and help Boden interpret it in a way that's uniquely its own. From cultural forecasts and seasonal concepts to brand storytelling and creative inspiration, you'll shape ideas that influence the business years ahead.

Working closely with the wider Creative teams, and acting as a cultural antenna and ideas generator, you'll help shape strategic narratives that keep the brand fresh, relevant and distinctive.

We're looking for someone with exceptional taste, strong cultural awareness and a talent for transforming insight into compelling creative direction. A natural storyteller and world-builder, you'll blend global trends with Boden's unique personality, creating ideas that combine British heritage, optimism, humour and creativity in ways that feel both contemporary and unmistakably Boden.
