Job Description
Senior Product Developer Liverpool Performance Apparel & Ath-Leisure Circa 42000 Benefits
This is a rare chance to join a team where you can truly own your categories, make bold decisions and help shape the future of a performance-led brand making serious waves in the industry. If you’re ready to lead with confidence, roll your sleeves up and take full control of your product – this is your moment.
Here – product is everything – and we’re looking for a Senior Product Developer who’s ready to treat their categories like a brand within a brand. This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership, runs with responsibility and takes pride in delivering market‑leading product – every season, every drop.
You’ll be the key link between design suppliers and product leadership, owning development from first tech pack to final production. This isn’t a support role; it’s yours to lead. If you love solving problems, making decisions and taking full accountability for timelines, quality and margin – we want you on our team.
Your Categories Your Call - What You’ll Own :
* Take full accountability for product development across your categories – from concept through to production with complete visibility across timelines, costs and quality
* Work directly with directors, designers and product managers bringing ideas to life while driving constant improvement across fit, finish and function
* Own the critical path – ensuring tech packs are issued accurately and on time with comprehensive construction, fit and trim comments at every step of the way
* Lead fit sessions with design and product driving timely commercial decisions and communicating clear actionable feedback to suppliers
* Own sample management – inspecting and signing off styles from proto to PPS with full confidence in your decisions
* Guard consistency across the range – ensuring size charts, fit blocks and grading follow the brand’s standards
* Take full control of lab dips, strike‑offs and trim approvals – making swift informed calls to keep things moving
* Be the go‑to contact for your suppliers – maintaining clear, professional communication through weekly check‑ins, calls and relationship‑building visits
* Engineer for margin – collaborating with sourcing on open‑costing and smart fabric usage without ever compromising quality
* Track product compliance across all relevant testing, care labelling and legislative standards – accuracy is everything
* Be proactive in identifying delays or risks, flagging them early in weekly development meetings and driving solutions
* Drive improvements with confidence – whether you’re optimising a block, renegotiating a detail or finding new efficiencies with the factory
* Mentor and support junior members of the team – you lead by example and others learn from how you operate
What You’ll Bring :
* A natural sense of ownership – you take accountability, seek solutions and keep things moving
* Exceptional attention to detail – in fit, construction, costing and communication
* Strong technical knowledge of apparel fabrics, trims and manufacturing
* Confidence in working autonomously while still collaborating cross‑functionally
* A commercial mindset – you understand the impact of every product decision
* A positive can‑do approach and strong organisational skills – nothing gets past you
* Experience working directly with suppliers and factories (UK & offshore)
* A sharp eye for quality and performance – especially within sportswear or technical apparel (bonus!)
