This is your chance to own the design direction of key categories at one of Australia's fastest growing e-commerce fashion brands. Reporting to the General Manager and working closely with the founders, you'll take product from concept through fit to bulk in a fast drop cycle, with real influence over fabrication, trend direction and how the range evolves. The brand has named this one of its most key hires of 2026, so your work will shape what comes next.

Good Company You'd join a Melbournefashion brand that drops new collections every two weeks, with a fast-growing customer base across Australia and the US. Positioned between fast fashion and premium, it's building a go-to label for women aged 18 to 30. The team is small, warm and high-performing, the pace is quick, and the culture is genuinely entrepreneurial. You'd be helping build a brand that lasts, not just filling a range plan.
