You’ll track the latest trends, collaborate with suppliers, and make sure our denim collections are ahead of the game. Working closely with Planning, Production, Marketing, and Visual Merchandising, you’ll turn creative ideas into commercial success.

 

Beyond product, you’ll lead and inspire a passionate team, mentoring them to grow and innovate within the category. If you love the thrill of building an iconic denim range, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are ready to make an impact, this is your moment.
