YOUR TEAM
You will take on a central position in our Design team, working closely with designers across FEMME and HOMME and talented professionals across the organisation. 
We are an ambitious and fast-paced organisation, so you are in for an exciting ride with a wealth of opportunities.

YOUR ROLE
As Creative Design Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our brand's future, translating your creative vision into compelling designs, overseeing the design process, and staying abreast of industry trends and innovations. In this, your ability to decode and maintain our brand DNA is essential.
This is a strategic role where you will collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, champion sustainable practices, and act as a key sparring partner to the Design Manager. As Creative Design Lead you will have no management responsibilities. 

More specifically, your role includes:

Leading the creative vision and direction of the design team, ensuring that all collections align with the brand identity and target audience.

Overseeing the entire design process, from initial conception through production.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a dynamic and growing brand. Our ambitions are high, and the opportunities are great, but most importantly you will join a team with highly skilled and engaged colleagues. 

We believe that a good work-life balance is key to well-being, which is why flexible hours and the opportunity to work from home is an integral part of our culture.

You will be given plenty of responsibility and opportunities to grow with regular sparring from experienced colleagues.

You will be part of a culture where we have a firm belief that if we collaborate and help each other, anything is possible.

YOUR PROFILE
To succeed in driving our design vision forward, it is essential that you have a passion for fashion, keen eye for detail, and strong understanding of the consumer behaviour, brand DNA and innovative technologies. It comes natural to you to take initiative, and you thrive on taking responsibility and working independently. 
You have strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, enabling you to clearly articulate your design concepts and collaborate effectively with designers and teams across the entire organisation. You have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously under tight deadlines.
