This is your chance to make your mark in the industry while covering maternity leave in a role that’s full of action, ownership, and sneakers (lots of them). What You’ll Be Doing: Partner with the talented Design Team to bring seasonal collections and collaborations to life. Keep critical paths on track from proto to pre-prod. Maintain pristine spec sheets (you love clean data as much as clean lines). Be the go-to guru for samples, trims, and colour developments. Own communication with global suppliers and factories — you’re the link between vision and reality. Help engineer products that balance style, quality, and margin. Keep all stakeholders looped in with smooth updates and solutions. What We’re Looking For: 2–3 years of solid product development experience in a reputable brand or company. A multitasking wizard with ninja-like Excel skills and a sharp eye for detail. A team player with outstanding communication and follow-up finesse. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, no-two-days-the-same environment. Proactive, solution-oriented, and self-motivated — you own your role like a boss. Able to travel to suppliers when needed (bonus points if you love a factory visit!). Ready to lace up and get started? If you're organised, creative, and obsessed with product detail, this role is made for you. Apply now and create the next generation of footwear.
