Footwear Designer | Manchester | Circa £45,000 | Hybrid, Flexible Working
This isn't just a job - it's a place where people stay.
A people-first brand built on creativity, and trust. This is a space for designers who've been burnt by bad industry experiences and are looking for something real - a supportive culture, healthy pace, and the freedom to focus and thrive.
They're continuing to build something special here: a brand that listens, that grows together, and that's still got so much potential, even though they're already one of THE biggest retailers in the UK.
