Why Join Us?

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be more than just an extra pair of hands.

You’ll work closely with the design team and have genuine creative input across collections, prints, colour, product and campaign concepts, while gaining exposure to the full journey of a fashion range from initial idea through to customer.

And a few things that make working with us a little different:

We genuinely care about our people – including mental health days, paid time for preventative health appointments and paid parental leave.
