This is an exciting opportunity to own the full design journey - from initial concept and trend forecasting to customer presentations and final approval - while shaping products that customers love.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing seasonal slipper collections for multiple customers across UK high street and supermarket accounts
• Researching trends and consumer behaviour to create inspiring mood boards, colour palettes, and fabric directions
• Translating trends into commercially viable designs aligned with target price points
• Creating designs using strong CAD skills, supported by confident hand sketching
• Producing accurate technical drawings and detailed product specifications
• Collaborating closely with the Design Manager, product development, sourcing, account management, and wider design teams
• Presenting concepts and full ranges to customers at our office and at their Head Offices, confidently evolving designs based on feedback
• Managing multiple accounts and deadlines while maintaining quality, creativity, and commercial focus
• Communicating clearly and effectively with UK and China-based teams throughout the development process
• Travelling in the UK and overseas to meet customers and suppliers, source materials, conduct market research, and attend trade fairs and exhibitions

What We're Looking For

• A commercially minded designer with a strong eye for trend and detail
• Excellent CAD and technical drawing skills, with the ability to hand sketch ideas
• Confident communicator who enjoys presenting and building customer relationships
• Highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple projects
• A passion for product, trend, and creating designs that sell

If you're excited by trend-led design, customer collaboration, and seeing your products on the high street, we'd love to hear from you.
