  • 2+ years’ experience in garment technology, product or fabric roles (value retail experience a plus).
  • Basic knowledge of fabric technology and pattern cutting, with a broad product awareness.
  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure.
  • Excellent communicator with good negotiating and influencing ability.
  • Proficient in Word, Excel and Outlook; comfortable learning new systems.
  • Commercial mindset with problem‑solving flair and a solutions focus.

Technical strengths

  • Understanding of consumer product safety requirements and ability to interpret relevant legislation.
  • Able to translate testing and fit feedback into practical product improvements.
