THE ALLSAINTS TEAM
At AllSaints we are in the business of feelings – making our customers feel cool and confident. If, like us, you believe in the power of a great outfit, we’d love to talk to you.
We’re a global brand made up of a very diverse mix of talented people in a huge variety of roles. Our products are designed in house and made by a small number of suppliers and artisans around the world to sustainable standards.
We are a brand embarking on a very exciting plan and we are seeking new members of the team who want to contribute to this.
THE ROLE
Product is at the heart of our business, and our product developers are a key part of bringing our creative visions to life. Working within the design team, we are looking for a product developer to support the design of our menswear jersey & denim categories.
The product developer will follow the full life cycle of a style from initial proto booking through to the creation of bulk production bill of materials. You will work very closely with the designers throughout the process, and liaise with other key departments such as buying and garment tech to ensure that our jersey & denim comes into the business at the correct cost and quality level.
We are looking for someone with a solid experience of product development, but do also welcome applications from those currently in a junior development role looking to step up.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The role is one of four product developers, who collaborate together to ensure consistency in process across different categories. Each product developer works very closely with the design lead for their product area, with the product developer for jersey & denim reporting directly to the product development manager. The working culture is one of creativity and collaboration between designers and developers.
