About the Role

We’re seeking a Designer to support the Design Director in driving impactful, human‑centred design across our Sports Bra, Underwear & Bodywear categories—spaces where technical performance, elevated craft, and intimate connection to the body come together.

In this role, you’ll translate guest insight, global trends, and material innovation into products that elevate the guest experience through comfort, movement, and modern style. You’ll explore new raw materials, design transformative solutions, and create silhouettes that honour both fit and function while delivering on commercial and aesthetic goals.

• Blend consumer insights, trend research, product testing, and competitive analysis to help create thoughtful, functional designs that elevate the wearer's experience.
• Translate lifestyle, runway, and cultural references into a brand‑right aesthetic, ensuring each design aligns with the brand identity and customer mindset.
• Manage a focused assortment of styles appropriate to your level and the complexity of the category.
• Participate in fit sessions and partner closely with technical design and sample rooms to bring ideas to life through mockups, prototypes, and iterative adjustments.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product development, raw materials, colour, merchandising, sourcing, and design operations teams, ensuring alignment at every stage of the process.
• Maintain exceptional attention to detail in concept sketches, CADs, tech packs, and bill of materials to support premium product execution.
• Engage in key meetings and marketplace reviews to absorb feedback and help action insights into future design improvements.
• Stay connected with fabric mills, lace and trim suppliers, and innovation partners to understand new technologies, performance fibres, finishes, and sustainable material developments.
• Champion the balance of aesthetics, comfort, support, and technical problem‑solving to deliver best‑in‑class intimates products.
• Colour and graphics to new, core, and carry‑over styles, considering feasibility, fabric behaviour, colourfastness, technical limitations, and commercial viability.

• A growing foundation next‑to‑skin design, with an understanding of fit, support, comfort, stretch, performance needs, and construction principles.
• Strong conceptual thinking, with the ability to translate cultural insight, trend direction, and aesthetic cues into intentional, guest‑centred product ideas.
• Ease working in a fast‑paced, iterative design environment, taking feedback with openness and elevating concepts through collaboration and refinement.
• A curious, growth‑oriented mindset—energised by innovation, problem‑solving, and exploring new materials, techniques, and technologies.
• Clear visual and verbal communication skills, ensuring partners across design, development, and merchandising understand your design intent at every stage of the process.
• A commitment to inclusive and thoughtful product creation, ensuring intimates solutions feel supportive, comfortable, and empowering for a diverse range of guests.
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator for technical sketching and Photoshop/InDesign for building compelling visual narratives.
• A sharp eye for proportion, detail, and balance, with a refined aesthetic sensibility that aligns with our brand values and design philosophy.

• Minimum 4 years of design experience, ideally with hands‑on work in Intimates, or close‑to‑body product.
