Job Description

THE OPPORTUNITY

As Midweight Product Designer, you’ll play a key role in bringing beautiful, on-brand products to life from initial concept through to final delivery. Working closely with our Senior Designers, you’ll support the development of innovative collections that reflect our affordable luxury positioning while ensuring every detail is delivered to the highest standard.

You will make an impact by taking ownership of your own projects, contributing fresh creative ideas, and helping to shape products that our customers love.

The role is Monday – Friday 9am–5pm. You’ll enjoy the exciting buzz of our friendly office in Banbury, Oxfordshire three times a week on average, with the flexibility to work from home for the remaining two days.
